" I like your way of gardening! Not much hassle but great rewards."
"I love your common-sense approach to gardening."
"---that’s why I’m a reader here – no “overwhelm” just practical advice – that works."
"I’ve been gardening for over 30 years but have learned so much from your posts. I appreciate your thoroughness and orderliness. Thanks so much."
"Gardening is so much easier and productive since I've met you, Theresa. I really mean that--you have helped me so much! I used to break my back fighting weeds, poor soil, etc. Not any more!"
"---you are providing others with invaluable help. --- Tending My Garden is a fantastic resource – and (the feedback) is the proof. I feel so thankful to have found it."
"I’ve just come across your website and found so much information on onion growing it’s amazing! --"
" I came across your site searching for why my cucumber plants were wilting mid-afternoon and whether I should water them. I have not stopped reading your posts since then. ---- very addictive -----will be my go-to site for my gardening needs."
"I'm so glad I found your website!! The info is exactly what I've been looking for! ----- more than just the typical stuff you find posted everywhere. While landscape design is my profession Vegetable gardening is a passion. I can't wait to read more of the past posts!!"
"These days, I am no longer googling for my gardening needs. I am TMGing."
"One of the things that sets you apart is that you know the difference between tried and true advice as opposed to the stuff we read in those 'generic' learn-to-garden books. I have stopped worrying about so many things since I began reading TMG."
"The way you communicate with your readers is just marvelous! You provide such a wealth of gardening information! I am so glad to have found your blog, I`m learning so many new things here!"
"--- your blog was instrumental in getting me past the 'paralysis of over-analysis' phase of my balcony garden...I was intimidated and lacked the knowledge I needed to get started. Your 'can-do' style inspired me to get started and see my summer-fall season as an experimental phase of 'research and development'..."
"---This is the most in depth, informative blog on gardening I’ve seen."
"-----This is what folks need to hear and it is exactly what is missing at the book stores as well. ----With all of the books, videos, encyclopedias, and google searches I could get my hands on, THIS SITE is my #1 source and a benchmark to which all other sources are compared and measured."
"You have changed my whole gardening life! "
"I love gardening and would never stop my subscription (to TMG). I'm learning more from you than I have in years of trying it by myself."
" I am just so encouraged by all that I am reading from you. I can’t make myself leave your site!"
"My garden has doubled in productivity since I started reading here."
"I wanted to let you know that from your guidance, I have discovered that 'less is more.' I was planting the old fashioned way--rows with lots of weeds to take care of--. Then I learned your secret of mulching heavily with straw and/or leaves. What an amazing difference. The soil is always ready for a seed or two in an empty spot and weeding is minimal. Last year we harvested twice as much produce in half the space."
"Theresa, I’ve been gardening for about 40 years, and in the last 10 or so have tried my hand at gardening organically. I bought the books, read the websites, took the magazines, etc., but have been largely overwhelmed and discouraged. I happened upon TMG and have been reading for around 3 months. Now I know I can really do this!!! Thank you so very much for being so realistic and practical. And also for being so open, willing, and giving. You are a blessing!"
"I have learned so much, actually far more from you than from any gardening magazine I have ever subscribed to."
"--- I'm in the process of switching from chemical-based gardening to organic gardening and your website has helped me tremendously. There's so much info on organic gardening – some of it very conflicting. You present stuff in an easy to understand, logical way."
"Every time I hear something “out there” about gardening, I think…….wait that sounds too complicated, Theresa keeps it simple…….do what she does. Lol. You have kept me from jumping on the crazy train! "
"I discovered your blog just last week while searching the web for information on raised bed gardening. I was actually pricing rough-cut lumber from a local saw mill, and looking for design ideas for wooden boxes when I stumbled upon your post "Contained Raised Beds? NO WAY!" I have not left your blog since!
I am so impressed with the information I have found there, as well as how much you put into it. I appreciate how you respond so thoughtfully to your readers' questions and comments. And of course I LOVE your "common sense" approach."
"This is only my 3rd or 4th season (of gardening). (Because of TMG) I am literally years ahead of my time in terms of being an accomplished gardener! "
"Your wonderful blog and the manner in which you handle explaining things in incremental steps is just amazing. I am on a steering committee for a local community garden effort and your blog will be my recommendation to anyone who gets involved."
"I just found your site ---- when I was checking for what to do with onions. I have never seen so much useful information in one place. --- What a wonderful site! I learned more in just a few minutes than I have ever gotten elsewhere. Thank you!!!"
"Finding your site thanks to Diane’s flowers has helped continue my education but in a very easy manner. I’ve found that your experience has confirmed that heritage gardening does not have to be exhaustive but more fun. I find your thinking about gardening assured me that my “maybe I’ll just let nature do the work” is ok and now I'm learning why."
"Just read your post on Garden diversity- as always excellent, thorough and you have this ability to give all the information one might need in a nutshell - keeping the reader engaged all through."
