That's something I'm definitely mulling over. It's important enough to merit one in its own right and in my heart of hearts I know it should, especially when I start pulling all my bookmarks together. The main problem is the time it's going to take up to do that. I really need to spend more time out in the real world this year, so I need to find a way that lets me do that, yet still keep a number of blogs going!<br /><br />Frances - I'm so glad it's done that; I've found I'm a lot more aware now too!<br /><br />Petoskystone - I was touched that you went to so much trouble to join in - thank you :)<br /><br />Yolanda - yay! It'll be great to have you joining in :)<br /><br />Anna - I haven't a clue with grasses either. I can see the need for a trip to Knoll nursery coming on...<br /><br />Rose - that's just it, volunteers and community projects has to be an important part of the solution<br /><br />Nan - it woud be fantastic to have you join in. Thanks for adding OOTS over at GGW too - that's such a useful resource you're pulling together :)<br /><br />Susan - I need to find the research references to back up what you say. I've found lots of anecdotal evidence, but I suspect the only way to really make a difference at local government and national government levels is to have some good research data.<br /><br />Joanne - you're welcome and thanks for joining in this year :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-51339638448944489722010-01-14T16:30:35.792+00:002010-01-14T16:30:35.792+00:00VP you work hard producing these really interestin...VP you work hard producing these really interesting posts thank you.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-14485890086623524962010-01-14T12:58:07.336+00:002010-01-14T12:58:07.336+00:00Fight the good fight, VP.

I've added links to OOTS to the "Memes and Contests for Garden Bloggers" page at Gardening Gone Wild too.Nan Ondrahttp://www.gardeninggonewild.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-15116744998194341852010-01-13T14:32:07.135+00:002010-01-13T14:32:07.135+00:00You're right, VP, that these posts help to sho...You're right, VP, that these posts help to show what works in different seasons as well as giving all of us some inspiration. The economy doesn't seem to have affected any of our public plantings yet, but it could. In many cases I think volunteers have come to the rescue.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-82802621691083986252010-01-12T20:52:47.271+00:002010-01-12T20:52:47.271+00:00Look forward to seeing OOTS develop in 2010 VP, wh...Look forward to seeing OOTS develop in 2010 VP, whatever way you decide to take it forward. The grasses at Chavsasse Park looked both striking and warming on a drab December day and held the planting together. No ideas as to what exactly they are so I am going to do some detective work.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-67263903992262429022010-01-12T18:40:39.548+00:002010-01-12T18:40:39.548+00:00I kind of like the idea of an OOTS blog.

Every single time we venture out, our eyes are peeled for something of interest in the plantings around town. It, OOTS, has made us more aware of our surroundings.
