Found your blog by way of a new friend on twitter - I love it, my sister just moved to Chicago 2 weeks ago from small town Michigan. I'm going to have to share this with her - give her ideas of things to do in Chicago besides work. Thank you.

Your photos are beautiful! The espalier is gorgeous! I think the Ginko Community Garden mislabeled the "rhubarb". The plant is Swiss chard the variety might be "Rhubarb". I missed finding-out about the spring fling. Is this a yearly thing? My Chicago blog is Urban Acres, http://urbanacres.blogspot.com/
Thanks,

It's not surprising to me that a couple of garden bloggers would help out without being asked. A spirit of goodwill and cooperation seldom goes missing from most of the garden bloggers I visit. And I think that Jeep is a beauty, even if it is a bit beat up and abandoned at the moment. I hope someone can claim it and its home and bring them back to life again. Thanks for sharing some of your best shots, MBT.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog. Garden Shoes Online welcomes the opportunity to be able to give to such a great event. Sounds like you all had a great time. The gardens look just beautiful through photographs, they must have been incredible in person.

Great photos, MBT, except for the jeep which I have to look at everyday. It's a symbol of the blight of our bad economy - what once was a beautiful home and garden has fallen into ruin; bankruptcy and god knows how long we'll have to look at this eyesore.

MBT, thanks for the sharing. I've never heard of ...

MBT, thanks for the sharing. I've never heard of Rick Bayless gardens and it's been awhile since I've hit Garfield Park. You've inspired me to expand beyond the arboreteum.

Mr. Write thanks you for your recent comments about his blog.

If you wish to view any other posts at "Mister Write," do it soon. I am changing my focus and working on something more important at this blog spot. "Mister Write" will be deleted.

Thanks again. your photos are very eye-catching.

Fantastic photos--you're the only one I've seen who managed to get a picture of the Jeep in the front yard:) I hope you're finally getting a chance to relax a little now that Spring Fling is over.

I hate to ask one more thing, but I've noticed the links on the participant page no longer work. I was wanting to visit everyone who attended Spring Fling, but I've forgotten many of their blog names. Is there any place on the Chicago Gardeners page that has them?

Hi there I so wish I could be in Chicago! Read about the 'Tomato Event'in the Chicago Garden blog.
Great post both here and there!

Really nice photos MBT! I feel lucky living so close to all the things we saw at SF. I don't enjoy them often enough. Being on the committee was a great experience for a lot of reasons. Getting me back into the city, realizing/remembering how much there is to see and do for gardeners was definitely one of them.

I really appreciated Monica's and Flatbush's help - I'd have never made it back to the hotel in time for the next thing we had to take care of without them.

You have a great eye for pictures.

Looks like y'all had perfect weather. The sky look so blue and all the greens look so fresh. I'd love to step into that garden that has the urns on either side of the entrance. Wish I could have been there.

Hello,

I'll be back to respond to comments right now I'd just like to clear up the wheelchair thing. I wasn't in a wheelchair one of the attendees was and two other attendees helped Linda wheel her around during the events and I appreciate just how thoughtful they were in making sure one of their fellow garden bloggers was comfortable when they should have been thinking about having fun, not "working."

be back soon.

LOVE the pictures! I sure wish I could have been there, but it looks like y'all had a great time. I sure didn't know there was so much "green" in Chicago, but I haven't ever visited for the purpose of seeking it out. It is a must-do trip on my list for sure!

Hello Mr. Brown Thumb,

Flatbush did most of the pushing... as did Linda on a separate occasion. I love your photos, especially as they captured things I didn't see. And I like how that tall building near Lurie always gets distorted in photos!

Hi Mr Brown Thumb, thanks for stopping by today! You were in a wheelchair? My goodness, there you were, giving me 'support' re: my ankle, and all along YOU have something going on too! Hope you'll soon be well! I enjoyed your photos. Everyone who attended the CSF has just a little variation in their perspective and it's fun to view them all! Happy Day, MBT;-)
