I've felt similarly "limited" by the name Toronto Gardens, particularly since I see and write about gardens way outside Toronto and in fact often very different from our climate. I've tried to get around that by looking at everything I write through a Toronto/urban gardener lens. Not sure how successful I am, but I try. Too late for me to change names, I think. I applaud your move and look forward to see the new "gardening me."Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527649631254016576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-81375317994688937572018-01-17T10:11:51.186-05:002018-01-17T10:11:51.186-05:00Thanks Caro :) Fingers and toes crossed here!

I thought that a year ago and now, of course, I'm kicking myself for not doing it then. So even though I had the "it's too late now" niggle in my head, I knew that I would regret not doing anything in the months/years to come.<br /><br />I can, of course, completely relate to your conundrum but I must say that I actually love your blog name - it would make a great book title (hint, hint!).Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-86759164867689286952018-01-17T09:55:16.777-05:002018-01-17T09:55:16.777-05:00Thanks Nancy - I'm hoping that the transition ...Thanks Nancy - I'm hoping that the transition will be seamless in that anyone receiving emails will continue to receive them under the new name...fingers crossed!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
