The Garden Watchdog, a Good Place to Get the Real Skinny on Garden Products!

Ron, thanks for sharing the "The Garden Watchdog".

Hi Ron, yes, I would say it is C O L D  with those temps.  Thanks for the link for the catalog, I like that they provide the most highly rated catalogs, as well as the ratings for each.

Ugg I can't wait for spring and we have sooo much winter left here in WI! 

Hi Ron -- while my gardening is limited to container plantings on my balcony, I did check out The Garden Watchdog website.  Talk about complete -- very thorough review.   

hi Ron,  I am dreaming of warmer days with green things growing in the ground and the first flowers poking through.  I will check this out.  I love working in the garden and embracing all that spring and summer have to offer.

Hi Ron - The other evening, we met with a past client who is just starting his garden planning. I'll pass along this resource to him - thanks for the pointer.

We aren't seeing much green out here in Colorado yet.  It has been a cold and snowy start to the year, but this too shall pass. 

Great idea Ron, I will check out The Garden Watchdog  and dream about the Spring

That's a great musings post Ron and an excellent idea to start thinking about gardening. The Garden Watchdog is something I'll have to check out. I hope you are staying warm and getting some good home cooked meals! Chief Cook is the best and you're a lucky man!

I like the fact that consumers can give some input as to how some of the gardening catalogs treat us.  I had several orders from a firm in South Dakota, which totaled several hundred dollars in total. when we first started landscaping around here.  Some of what I ordered which came as seedlings and were supposed to be a hedge....never filled out and those now trees are nearly 30 feet tall instead of the six and bushy they were touted as.  They messed up more times than I can even remember....buh, bye.  Wish we had had this opportunity back then to slam them for their carelessness.

Ron,

 It is cold there so I guess I will not complain about our high being 40! You are correct it is chili dogs for us and playoff games! Tell Chief Cook hello for me!

I will pass this along to my wife who does all the gardening along with my son....I am the lawn guy.  They don't like me to cross the boundary!

Ron, Thanks for the catalog tip and I will bookmark it. My lap fan motor dies today and now I have to buy a new lap top as replacing is just problematic and it makes sense not to spend good money chasing something that will have another serious problem shortly.

Thanks for the Email and telling me about my blog issue. I appreciate it.  I tried to copy a line from my blog as a tag and it placed in that paragraph. Why??

OMG reading the temperature in your blog gave me the shivers Brrrrr! Endre

Dreaming is all we can do at this point....seems so very far away!

I'm seriously ready to see some green and I don't mean on the house plant in my kitchen window.  I've had quite enough winter and it's only been here for 21days. LOL

Ron, this is a valuable resource for serious gardeners and you have so much that you offer your community and your followers here on Active Rain!

I like to shop online as I can research and check reviews and compare prices so easily. Thanks for the recommendation.
