Hi Sheryl, I tried to click on your links up top but the aren’t link-able. Do you have a menu of your previous posts?
Hi! I actually don’t have a menu of my previous posts…I never thought to add one in before! 🙂 I will definitely get on it and build one today – thanks so much for mentioning it!
The list above is sort of a resume of articles and other work I’ve written for (mostly) print magazines and books. The content isn’t available on the Internet, for the most part. But again, you’ve given me a great idea and I will try to link up the ones that at least have a website, so that if someone wants to look up the publisher, they can. Thank you for giving me this great input, I really appreciate it!
UPDATE: There is now an “Archives” button on my home page! 🙂
O great, I will definitely pop by, thanks for your message. You have a very extensive resume then. It’d be great to read about your garden philosophy for our climate.
Thank you so much for sharing blog
I appreciate your follow and all your lovely comments! Thank you very much! 🙂
Sheryl, you are such an accomplished and prolific writer. Congratulations.
Thanks so much, Cynthia, that’s so sweet of you to say. 🙂
I had no idea you were such a prolific writer! I’ve just clicked over to the orchid article and I’m delighted to learn so much about them. My blooms dropped recently and I lost one of the leaves. Now it know to water from below and to cut back the stalk. Thanks, Sheryl.
You’re very welcome! Glad I can help. 🙂
That’s a great portofolio
Thank you so very much!
