This past week was my blog’s tens
anniversary. Is hard to believe that I
been writing this garden blog for the last ten years. In the early days of my gardening hobby I was reading other
gardener’s blog to get pointers and ideas, after a while I decided to start my
own blog and share my own experience with my fellow internet gardener. It has been a tremendous ride in the past
ten years we have seen so many changes in this media. Today the Dragonfly Garden Blog is available on Facebook, Twitter
and Instagram, social media has taken off and has made our little corner of
heaven available to a worldwide audience.
Ten years is a long time and I have evolved as a
gardener. Today my garden is not as
neat as it used to be, there are more tropical fruit trees, more mixing and
matching of different kinds of plants, pollinator plants everywhere and many
small ecosystems within the garden. The
future is hard to predict, it will probably bring less lawn grass and more wild
places and wild life.
I thank you for following me on my little adventure, here is
to the next ten years.

Happy blogversary! I'm one of your long-time followers, but only an occassional commenter. I've enjoyed all your posts and always look forward to your next one. You have a lovely garden and it's been brilliant following all the ups and downs, changes and challenges.
Hi Rusty, I have enjoyed following your blog and didn't know you are on Facebook. I'll have to look for it. When I started blogging, I never thought I would have so much to say about gardening. But the garden is always changing and there always seems to be something to post about. I do find it interesting that many gardeners are reducing lawns and adapting their gardens to attract wildlife. I think that's great and I hope it's a long lasting movement. Here's to another 10'years of blogging.
Congrats on your 10th year of blogging. I love reading about and seeing other Florida gardens.

Ooh I'm glad to see you are on Instagram, I just followed you. I always like finding the bloggers who were into writing before social media took off. I've been blogging since 2002---a lot has changed since then!
Congratulations, and keep on blogging, I enjoy your posts and as gardener, I never stop learning from you and others.
Congratulations! I just hit my 4th year of posting every weekday back in August, then decided last week to only post weekly. It's a lot of work to keep up, especially when you'd rather be gardening than writing. Your place always looks good - keep up the good work.
