Gardener's Online To Do List- for Best Ever Local Garden Writing Blogs:

To receive local garden blogs from favorite writers direct to your email without signing on to the TW site, you'll need to make an online effort since these blogs do not get mailed out automatically.
(cross posted from comments (3/25/10)

Specific Directions Below:

1) * Sign on to your Transition Whatcom Account

2) * Find your favorite garden bloggers and click on their personal page
( I recommend you start with Celt M Schira, Walter Haugen. David Pike, & Heather K.).

3) * Scroll down this members personal page and look for “Blog Posts”, and click there.

4) * Now scroll down to the bottom of the member's blog list , and click on “Follow – Email me when this member adds a new blog post”.

5) * (After clicking a new sign will appear, that you can use if you want to stop receiving their blog posts – this sign will say - “Stop Following”.
(That sign means you have successfully requested this member new blog posts to be emailed to you, reducing the time you need to sign on to TW to check for new blog posts related to gardening.)

6) * Consider writing your own blog posts with your garden wisdom & humor. You can always type them up and save them as a draft until you are ready to 'publish".

7) * Now unhook and Sign Off of Transition Whatcom, Shut down your computer power....
Stand up and Walk Outside to enjoy the beauty or harvest a few weeds for the compost pile, or a few greens for your next meal!

(Also be sure to read Chuck M. garden article in the foothills news...I don't think he is online Yet).
