Veg About meets Mister Linky!

Do you have a vegie patch? What's in it? We want to know!

The Veg About is getting down to earth with a simple new style. With just three steps, it's quick, easy and fun!

1) Stick the Veg About button on your sidebar (instructions below*)

2) Below the button on your sidebar, make a list of what's in your vegie patch at the moment. You can tell us what's in your patch, your pot, even a saucer of seeds on the windowsill!  (instructions below**)

3)  Link to Mister Linky below. And you're done!





* How to add the button to your sidebar: 

Need to know how to put the Veg About button in your sidebar? I followed Flossy-p's instructions for the Blogtoberfest button- she explains it really clearly and it works a treat. The URL to link to is http://bellgirl.com.au/2008/10/veg-about.html, so that people can find out how to join. Here's Flossy-P's instructions: http://flossy-p.blogspot.com/2008/10/fly-flag.html

** How to add the list your your sidebar (using Blogger):

When you've added your button to your sidebar, go to the design page, Click "add a Gadget", select the option for "List" (you could do a "Link list" if you want to link to a post or picture- whatever takes your fancy). Then drag and drop this gadget below where you put the button. Finally, go to "View Blog" to write and edit your list. (Sorry the instructions are a bit hasty, I'll update them soon, just leave any questinos in the comments below.

Looking forward to visiting your Veg About patch!

I'm all set up... button is on my blog & list of current living plants updated... but I've come to put my link in and mr linky is having an emergency update... I'll pop by later to add my link.
Great idea by the way - I love it!

I've had the button for ages but I'll go and make sure its still active.
And I guess I'll have to do some veggie garden updates soon!

Michelle said...

I'm in! What a great idea. At the moment my garden is little more than dirt, but it might be interesting to document the process we are going through to improve the soil.

Shall take photos during daylight and add a link then!

I'm all linked in! Let's hope these babies survive - particularly those lettuces. Last year I had an absolute bumper crop and ever since then I've been fighting with chickens, possums, caterpillars & mystery bugs.

Alrighty! I'm now all linked up! First post this season on my vegie patch is posted!
