It might not be strange to feature your own face on the front page of the website you’ve been designing for years, but you’ll notice that I’m not doing it here on emopage. Then again, emopage isn’t the major web portal for the Upper Midwest. Still, it was a nice surprise to see an old friend blogging away about her suburban gardening exploits for startribune.com under the moniker of ‘GardenGirl.’
Emopage has no garden here in it’s luxurious third story offices. In fact, the un-killable aloe plants here are shriveling and in dire need of re-potting. For now, I’m living vicariously through my neighbors’ patio furniture and koi pond (for real!). The mid-block backyard gardens outside are in full bloom and are actually a nice low-labor substitute. Still, maybe GardenGirl should share the wealth with us apartment-dwellers and install a gardencam. I’ve been telling my dad to plug one in and aim it at his vast Japanese-style garden for years. Maybe I’ll just need to make another trip to Minny soon to take in all this greenery…
