Hardiness Zones

I always want to grow something I can't.  Hardiness zones are serious things.  You may think if you live in zone 4 (as we do in NB), you can push the limits by planting something that's hardy only to zone 5.  And indeed it might grow for a few years, and then suddenly: dead!  So, ignoring hardiness zones is at your peril. 

Hardiness Zones - NB

In terms of this week's NB 23 assignment, I have followed Vesey's Seeds on Twitter, and posted two tweets: one using the hashtag #nb23, and one a retweet from Vesey's.  I have had a Twitter account for two years now, and I'm pretty comfortable using it. 

I've used hootsuite in the past, and found it a useful tool.  I've tried tweetdeck, but didn't use it as often.  Since I don't tend to plan out my tweets, and only tweet personally a few times a week, they're not necessary. They're great for our library's twitter, though!

My Garden

This blog is part of NBPLS training called 23 Things NB.  I've not used Blogger before, or even bothered with a gmail.  I'm an old-school hotmail (now outlook) and yahoo user.  I'm a librarian at a large central public library.  Blogger was easy to set up, and I'm sure I could fancy up this entry with links and photos, if I had any at the moment.  :) I've used other blogging platforms in the past, such as livejournal (those were the days!) and tumblr.  I sincerely hope blogger is not as completely mad as tumblr, in terms of its users, not its interface. 

It's eight weeks tomorrow until the first day of spring.  This is a work-based training blog, but since we haven't been told it has to be strictly about work, I'm going to plan my 2014 garden, unless the powers-that-be say otherwise.
