			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all love our gardens and love to share what we grow within them. The Garden Blogger Sessions is something I&#8217;ve come up with to draw people who blog about gardening together so we can gain some insight into what makes them tick&#8230;</p>
<p>Hanna from <a href="http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com">This Garden is Illegal</a> was kind enough to donate her time to be the first of what will be many garden bloggers input to the Garden Blogger Sessions.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com">This Garden is Illegal</a> has also developed a <a href="http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/add-the-garden-blog-search-to-your-site">Garden Blog Search Engine</a>, make sure you <a href="http://www.thisgardenisillegal.com/contact-me">get your blog included</a> and get the search widget on your site!<br />
<br style="font-weight: bold;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What Country do you live in?</span><br />
US of A<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What kind of climate?</span><br />
Generally unpredictable.&nbsp; I technically live in zone 5 but Cleveland, OH is in a rare situation of being on a massive lake with a cold area above it.&nbsp; It creates some interesting and rapidly changing weather patterns (such as <a href="http://www.weather.com/encyclopedia/winter/lake.html">Lake Effect Snow</a>).&nbsp; Some winters we can see zone 6 like conditions and other winters, more like zone 4.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">City or country?</span><br />
Suburbia, Cleveland, OH, USA<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How big is your garden?</span><br />
Slightly bigger than a postage stamp.&nbsp; That roughly translates to a 1/5 of an acre.<br />
&nbsp;<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24698152@N08/2643621023/" title="hannas_garden.jpg">  </a><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 330px; height: 247px;" title="" alt="hannas_garden.jpg" src="http://static.flickr.com/3156/2643621023_b1938d6a84_m.jpg" /><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How long have you been gardening?</span><br />
That is a tough one.&nbsp; I have been technically gardening since I was about 5.&nbsp; But up until I was 19, it was termed &#8220;daily chores&#8221;.&nbsp; I have enjoyed gardening (meaning I was doing on my own and not as manual labor for someone else) for about 12 years now.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Who taught you how to garden?</span><br />
I learned the basics from my mother.&nbsp; But, these days, when I have a question about gardening, I tend to turn towards the internet.&nbsp; It is a little like God in that there is no answer that cannot be found as long as you know how to speak to it.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Where do you get your inspiration for your garden?</span> (eg parks, botanical gardens, other peoples gardens)<br />
Chaos theory.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Do you plan out your garden on paper, or just go planting things all over?</span><br />
Really, my garden is kind of like a ghetto.&nbsp; I just cram them all in and they all hope for the best.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How long have you been blogging about gardening?</span><br />
Just over two years.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What inspires you to post?</span><br />
Honestly, because people appreciate my humor on the blog.&nbsp; I make those kinds of jokes in the offline world and people just look at me funny (not like ha-ha funny either).&nbsp; Plus, I just enjoy gardening and trivia.&nbsp; I can combine what I find on my blog as a kind of reference for myself.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Any other comments?</span><br />
&#8220;I did not have sexual relations with that gardener.&#8221;<br />
The pic is attached. It is of my veggie garden, which is my pride and joy (plus, it is relatively weeded at the moment).</p>
