Readers: This blog will be dormant until the fall. Our Greengirls blog has started up again with a new crew.

Greengirls Connie Nelson, Mary Jane Smetanka, Kim Palmer and Helen Yarmoska are dishin' the dirt from the backyard garden and beyond. Whether you're a greenthumb or greenhorn, they're eager to learn from your misshaps, mistakes - and most importantly, your sweet successes - all growing season long.

Go here to find their posts. Thanks for your continued support.
