From winter sports, birdwatching, indoor plant care and bird feeding, to reading, planning and daydreaming about the 2009 growing season, January is a critical, important time on our garden calendar. In fact, armchair gardeners should be congratulated on their farsightedness, as they garner ideas and dwell on improvements for all their garden projects. With all this in mind, I invite you to peruse the the newly-posted January issue of 'Corliss Clips.'
The first of each month, you'll find timely garden topics, as we wend our way through another season of gardening. As always, I invite your comments and/or questions at the end of each newsletter. Although this is a joint effort, in conjunction with Corliss Bros. Garden Center, it is my hope that much of the advice will be useful to anyone who drops by 'Corliss Clips.'
It is also my hope that local North Shore gardeners in general, and Corliss clients in particular, will come to realize that we produce this newsletter on a monthly basis... offering them a forum... a way to be in contact, between their regular visits to the nursery ~ their own hotline for all things horticultural. All queries will receive a prompt response. I would especially like to hear from all the alumni of last season's garden workshops, "Saturday Sessions" ~ dedicated, enthused home gardeners, who have yet to drop by GardenAuthor or 'Corliss Clips.' (hint!)
2009 gardens start now ~ may it be a splendid season for all! .............. Deb

Thank you for all your helpful information... ps I love your garden shed! :-)
Thanks for dropping by, Shady! Don't know what I'd do without the little shed... keeps everything so handy. Here's to a brand new season!
May all your endeavors this year bloom into something beautiful! And thanks again so much for the mail. Check's in the mail. :)
Angie ~ Thank you, and yours as well! I'll pass along your thanks to Steve... glad it worked out.
What a information packed newsletter! Great read and reminders of what we can be doing even in January, Kim
BTW, love the music playing on your blog!
Kim ~ Thanks for your comments... means a lot! Thanks for noticing the tunes, as well. Pretty eclectic playlist, but lots of country included.
Hi Deb!! Are you alright out there? I know you continue to receive a LOT of snow!!! Take care of yourself and don't overdo. And don't go out if it's slippery!!!
(This is just your Iowa Mother Hen speaking.) ;-)
Mother Hen ~ Been a bit under the weather, as well as out in the weather. Plenty of snow and ice... thank goodness for sand - Lucy can't afford to fall, with her weak back knees. We're both walking around like little old ladies... except when she takes off down back, on squirrel patrol.
Take care of yourself, too!
Here Here! I'll go by and praise the garden effort. Goodness knows we need to keep it going before the world thinks it a thing of the past. I appreciate your comment on my nursery working years. I wish I had a place like Corliss to work at.
Anna ~ More than ever, do we need to hone our horticultural skills, share our hard-won knowledge and embrace the ever-changing world of gardening. I am happy to have Corliss as a platform for much of this. Keep doing what you do... it's great for the industry and for gardeners, everywhere!
