Mouse & Trowel Awards

The final tallies are in and, sadly, Garden Variety was not among the winners in this year's Mouse & Trowel Awards for garden blogs.

But you are!

With 548 nominees and more than 5,000 individual votes cast, this is certainly affirmation that blogging is here to stay as a way to get solid garden information out there, as well as a way for gardeners to share the beauty and passion of gardening.

And for you, the garden blog reader, there is more good news. Visit the Mouse & Trowel Awards website, see the list of winners and runners up and get on board!

Subscribe to newsletters or sign up for Facebook fan pages or email alerts or RSS feeds or follow the bloggers on Twitter, whatever your technological comfort zone, and the best and most entertaining gardening information will easily come your way.

Congratulations to all the nominees and all the winners and a special thank you to all who voted for Garden Variety. I think we ALL won!

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
