This post has been a hard one to get out the door.
The lingering effects of my concussion are playing a role. Maybe my noggin thinks I’m still off camping with my daughters. A lot has moved to the back burner since my fall this January. Luckily, I had a large stash of articles already written. This allowed me to continue publishing on a regular basis as I have slowly been recovering.
My procrastination may also have something to do with the fact this my 100th blog post. That’s a lot of run on sentences, plant names misspelled in Latin, and bad jokes only my cat understands, to write.
I wanted #100 to be a really good post. As I am sure you have already determined, that ship has sailed!
Instead of waiting till inspiration came and deliver some epic and enlightening topic to cover, I figured I would just share a few of my favorites from the last two years.
From my philosophical side:
- Do you have a plastic plant in your yard?
- It’s time to rethink the idea of having one big shade tree
- Nature inspired garden, your first step to create one
About Design:
- Japanese garden fall color lessons you can use
- Front Yard Design for Winter Interest part 1 of 2
- Small backyard Japanese garden design Part 5 adding a tsukubai
Two Pruning posts & one that actually shows me working
Three posts to help you save money and time
- Save Money Buying Trees and Shrubs: Eight Tips
- Bare root trees to stretch your landscaping budget
- Tree planting mistakes to avoid and save time
So there is #100. Sure, I know it was not that great, but just wait till #101!

That’s a fantastic achievement, Jim! I echo Faith’s comment. You produce outstanding content so no need to apologize for not have written a 100th post. If anything, a collection of your best work is the best way to recognize how much you have written!
Thanks Darren.
Jim, I love this post! Bookmarking in my Yard and Garden folder. I think it’s great to do a round up and offer a variety of topical tips to us readers, especially if we haven’t been with you the whole two years.
You shouldn’t have been so honest. Fab post for a milestone article, and you have “meant” to do that!
Congrats on completing all that writing, too. Enjoy your summer!
Thanks for the kind words Faith.
Congratulations on your one hundredth post, Jim! Well done.
Thanks Jean.
