QUICK TIP

Grab a beer (make sure it's not the good stuff), and put some in a small cup. Sink the cup into the dirt to catch all those slimy slugs that have invaded your roses and tomatoes.

Como Park Zoo Gardens

We’ve been drowning in rain for past month, but the sunshine has poked through the clouds today. Here are some gardening social network websites to help you connect with fellow gardeners. Have fun, and happy growing!

  • gardenersindex.com: I found this interactive gardening community on Facebook. It offers a place for 19,000 gardeners (and growing) to share photos, ask questions and chat about gardens.
  • Oh My Bloom: Oh My Bloom claims to be “America’s Largest Gardening Social Network,” where gardeners can share tips and photos.
  • Garden Tenders: This site seems smaller that the others, but the projects section provides some great gardening ideas.
  • Gardening Network: This no-frills site offers basic blog, forum, chat and picture sharing for gardeners.
  • Koiface: And now for something completely specific! Koiface  provides a social space specifically for koi and pond garden enthusiasts.
