From the Soil
Today's site, from a dedicated Illinois gardener, offers an engaging blend
of gardening chat with the mildly philosophical musings which frequently
overtake those who devote much of their time to nature's beneficence and
caprice. Gentle Subscribers will find an inviting and informative account
of one man's activities in his garden.
"Thoughts and images from a quarter-acre slice of suburban earth ... From
the Soil is a collection of the writing and photography of Christopher
Tidrick, who lives and gardens in Champaign, Illinois. This blog is the
living, growing memoir of my garden and the people whose love for plants
gives us a common thread despite our differences and distance." - from the
website
Replete with handsome photography of this Illinois garden's plant
specimens, the lushly styled blog delivers a variety of essays on the
flowers which fill the modest suburban plot. Begun at the start of the 2009
gardening year, Mr. Tidrick's blog showcases his Champaign, Ill. garden
with the commitment of the true devotee. From observations on the aphid
situation of a milkweed plant to suggestions for reviving the flagging
appearance of an August garden, this deftly written gardening journal is
both inspirational and instructional.
