	Not writing directly, but primary income is my nursery so we are
spending money to make money (that is the theory). We began a local ad
campaign for fall planting last month. Ads will run in local newspaper, then
in local slick magazine and then on web site of the newspaper. Timing is
from July through mid-November. Also working for a feature on our business
in the slick magazine. 
	Attempting to spend more time and focus on Facebook, LinkedIn. Keep
my monthly newsletter on time and my weekly blog centered on helping shade
gardeners help themselves. Learning curve is a bit steep for an oldster like
myself on Facebook and my blog.
	All of this, as you can see, is about garden writing... just that I
must be my own publisher as well. Reaching out directly to my customers as
much as possible, but also using what media I can afford.

I¹m doing an article for the next Quill & Trowel on what GWA members are
doing in this proverbial ³sinking² economy to keep themselves afloat, as the
garden writing/photography/design/communications options are becoming more
limited.
