Garden Variety's new partner

Today, Garden Variety welcomes her new partners in gardening, the University of Maryland Extension staff!

Every Tuesday here on Garden Variety, beginning today, we will feature Ellen Nibali's "Plant of the Week," complete with photos and growing information.

And each Thursday, the Extension staff will answer your gardening questions. Visit the Home and Garden Information Center website and submit your questions in the "Send a Question" feature and we will get an answer for you. There's is plenty of gardening information there, too.

And there's more!

Check out the left-hand side of Garden Variety, called the "rail" in the blogosphere, and you will find a link to the Extension's Grow It, Eat It program. Just click the "Growing Great Gardens" logo and you will find lots of food gardening tips, news and information.

Also under that logo, you will find links to an archive of "Plant of the Week" and an archive of gardening Q&A's.

Garden Variety is incredibly grateful for the expertise of the University of Maryland Extension. It is where I have always gone to get my gardening questions answered. Now you can, too.

What a coincidence! I just picked up a copy of the UMD Master Gardener Handbook from the library today.

And I am taking the classes!!!

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.
