I changed around the colors slightly- still beach and ocean blues. Added new fonts, and most recently placed a related posts script into the template. Next up is adding small images to all the post (previously have had very few!), since the related posts may need to operate with thumbnails.

The Year For Prairie Plants

Now that I've researched more on Prairie plants, and written more about them, I think it is high time to focus more attention on these great plants for American gardens.

Here is my collection of Prairie garden articles, including a new lens for prairie plants:
A Prairie Garden
New American Garden Style
Prairie Plants for Your Garden


...and they play a large part in the list of 10 Great Perennial Plants.
It was time to create more lenses about my area of expertise, which is gardening in the Midwest. As an aside... I started a little prairie patch of garden in my front yard a couple years ago- it was a good decision and I'm very happy how it melds with the rural landscape here. The perfect bit of garden for an old farmhouse like mine.
