Top Ten Posts for 2019, and Happy New Year!

Dear Folks,

What posts were the most popular in 2019 on my blog?

I received an update from one of my favorite bloggers who posted her top 10 from this past year.

I have a "popular post" area on the side bar on my blog and I had set to the last 7 days with the top 3, and thought "hmmm" what have all you folks been reading this past year that was the most  "eye catching"?

Well I changed the filter to the top 10 for the last year, so here they are.

I would love to hear from you if there is something you would like me to revisit more.

I love the notes and comments you send expressing how my writings help you - that is super and I appreciate the compliments.  I also realize many of you just quietly take my writings and "grow with it".  Also super!

So in order:

March Planting Tips - And 1 Major Reason Your Seeds Did Not Grow
https://edibleherbsandflowers.blogspot.com/2019/02/march-planting-tips-and-1-major-reason.html

NOTE:  I consider this one of the most important posts I've ever created.  It, along side using the moisture meter garden tool, are two major factor's to successfully direct sowing in the garden.  Sure, we can start seeds indoors, and that does work.  However, direct sowing seeds ensures only the strongest seeds survive meaning the strongest plants are the result.
