Participants, drop the link for your seedGROW posts in the comments of this post or tweet them with the #SeedGROW hashtag on Twitter so I can add them. Yes, I'm as surprised as you that it is August and time for another update. How are your lettuce, basil and marigolds fairing this month?

Seed GROW is Back for 2011

noreply@blogger.com (GardenBloggers.Com) — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 22:28:00 +0000

The SeedGROW project is back for the 2011 growing season. This year the selection of gardeners trialing seeds provided by Renee's Garden is smaller than the first year due to time constraints. A couple months ago I posted the signup offer on Twitter & Facebook with a short window to reply and participate in the grow along. Here are the bloggers who joined the project this year.

http://jennsgardeningspot.blogspot.com :> A Container Garden Journey.
http://gardenfaerie.blogspot.com:> Overwhelmed.

This year we'll be joined by Nellie who works at Renee's Garden who will be growing the seed along with the garden bloggers. Our first posts about growing Basil "Cameo," Lettuce "Garden Babies" and marigold "Yellow Splash" will publish on June 2nd. Subsequent post will occur on the 2nd of every month. My apologies to those who wanted to sign up this year but didn't get a chance. I'm short on time this year and couldn't cast as wide a net as I did last year. I'll update this post with links to this month's post as they come in.

Seed GROW Projects Link for May #seedGROW

noreply@blogger.com (GardenBloggers.Com) — Sat, 01 May 2010 16:46:00 +0000

First, I want to thank everyone who signed up to participate and completed the April post. I noticed that a lot of the bloggers used SeedGROW or some variant of the project title in the post, which is well and good. Although, feel free to change it up a bit to your benefit. For example; if your next post is about how to fertilize your Nasturtium seedlings you could title your post "How-to Fertilize Nasturtiums," "Fertilizing Nasturtium Seedlings," "Fertilizing Nasturtiums." Using keywords from your post will help your blog post get placed in search engines and help people who are using Google to find gardening advice discover your blog. Also, make use of the alt attribute when you upload images to your blog so that when people use Google image search they may find your post.

The May posts are due May 2, 2010. Feel free to leave the link to your May post in the comments here, tweet them to me on Twitter ( hashtag #seedGROW ) or place them in the Facebook group.
