Gardening and Social Media

I have been thinking a lot about social media lately. This is probably not a coincidence.

The Mayo Open Coffee Club has invited me to facilitate a discussion on Social Media and Business. What do I know about this? What does any one know about this? What do people think they know about this?

For research I have got my hands on Social Media 101 by Chris Brogan .

My general view on social media is that we are making too much of it and expecting too much from it. But that could change....

In the meantime here's a photo of my garden.

The potatoes are flowering now. According to my sources, the flowering precedes their readiness to be dug and eaten. Along with the obvious spuds there are radishes, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, parsnips, broccoli, two plum trees, gooseberry bush and a black berry bush.

Now, if you did not know that flowering potatoe plants are nearing the ripe-for-digging date then you learned something today from social media. (obviously, I include blogs in social media).

Everything must be kept in perspective. Enjoy.
