Armchair gardening is a click away

As any gardener knows, a garden is never at its best when viewed by a visitor! Still, the hundredth time we exclaim, "Well, you really should have seen it last week!" one starts feeling a bit sheepish--perhaps even cowed--as our visitors fix their eyes on a lush stand of chickweed, nut grass, and discarded nursery flats decked out in bindweed and wild violets. So, in self-defense, gardeners need to be armed with a certain number of explanations (we don't call them excuses) when people drop in unexpectedly and ask for a guided garden tour. 

Thanks to the Internet, no gardener ever again has to cringe from the gaze and unspoken judgments of garden visitors. The Internet has given us Links as well as Linux, and Links are a gardener's best excuse for why he or she hasn't had time to weed, plant a cover crop, or tie up the tomato vines that are threatening to engulf the trellis that's holding up the front porch. 

You could spend the entire gardening season surfing gardening links. So, doff your garden gloves, put down your trowel, get out of those muddy gardening duds and spend a few minutes (hours, days, weeks) clicking away on our links like a crazed addict. The number of links is small at the moment, but that will change. Links, like rabbits, proliferate.
