 My hope was that they would put ads on for places that sell the plants I've
listed, but so far the ads are mostly for "fast growing trees" - sort of the
opposit of what the page is about.  I may re-think the google ad thing...

 Let me know what you think!  www.gardenlady.com

Hi - Google adsense ads are purchased by folks who want to sell products and
they bid on specific keywords to sell those products.  (sounds pretty basic
- right?)  

The deal is that that the google algorhythm "reads" your page and assigns it
certain keywords based on the total content.  So - there's two variables at
work here - your page content and what advertisers are paying for.

Let me suggest you've gone at it in reverse. :-)   You've designed a page
and hoped that google would feed you appropriate ads.  Instead, let me
suggest you go to google - evaluate the keywords - and then design a page
that meets the needs of the advertisers.  Then you're more likely (but not
guaranteed) to get the ads you want. 

I also note that google ads will rotate - so what you see on one visit will
not necessarily be what you see on another visit.

I also note you can switch "off" ads from companies you don't want so this
might be another option for you in the short term.

Hope this helps a little.
