Using business cards to get info out about your blog

by

I was just saying on one of my other blogs that I should get some business cards made up so that I can hand them out to anyone interested in visiting my sites.

You know when you meet people at parties and you get talking about your interests?

Business cards would work great for a site like this. While it’s true I haven’t written out any plant profiles for a while there is a lot of good gardening info on this site. I run into people all the time who have an interest in gardening. If I had business cards printed out advertising As the Garden Grows I could just tell them to come visit my blog to get info on whatever plant we happened to be discussing.

Isn’t that a great idea?

Does anyone else do this?






Thunder, Lightening and Wind!

We had a huge storm here yesterday.

I knew it was a bad storm when things started blowing around in my driveway. We do have a few things up beside the house – garbage cans, a couple of muskoka chairs and planter boxes for the impatiens that I grow in our shady driveway.

What I didn’t know was that the storm was so bad that it blew down huge trees. Houses were literally crushed just a few blocks from here! Yes, our area of the city was hit the worst.

I hate storms! They are so violent here.

Replacement parts for lawn mowers and outdoor equipment

by

So how are you lawn mowers holding up now that summer is here and the grass is growing?

Many of the new lawn mowers that you can buy these days have many parts don’t they? Some come with all the accessories that you could possibly need and others have accessories that you can purchase separately.

I’m bringing this up because I wanted to tell you about an online store called Mow Part. They sell lawn mower parts. All kinds of lawn mower and outdoor equipment parts.

I actually wish I knew of Mow Part about two months ago. We had an old trimmer of my parents and last year the part that holds the trimmer line cracked rendering the trimmer unusable. We’d already had some trouble finding the type of trimmer line that worked in that old trimmer too. Now I know that if I’d visited Mow Part I probably could have replaced the trimmer part and even found the correct trimmer line for it too. Believe me – I would have purchased a year or two’s worth of trimmer line!

I think this store carries pretty much everything you could possibly need for your lawn mower or other outdoor yard related accessories. They carry tires or wheels, chute covers, trimmer parts, snowblower parts, filters, repair manuals, carburetor parts, fertilizer spreader parts, and the list goes on and on.

If you have outdoor equipment bookmark this website. At some point in the future you might need replacement parts for your mower and now you’ll know exactly where to find it.
