I then thought that maybe they haven't read my blog for months anyway and there are regular readers and commenters who are not followers so it is swings and roundabouts.

I would certainly be keen to plant that sort of mix next year as the effect is so lovely. As to that followers thing... it always surprises me that the comments dwindle in comparison to the followers. I only follow a limited number and try to make a sensible comment but my blog started as a way of keeping a record of things for myself so the numbers don't worry me too much. Keep going as you are and those of us out here in the ether will be well pleased!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-46421725589688908392012-08-23T09:43:48.171+01:002012-08-23T09:43:48.171+01:00Oh I love that wild flower patch - its just what I...Oh I love that wild flower patch - its just what I want instead of that jungle of brambles and nettles in my garden right now! Yes, I need those heavy duty gloves too Jane.<br /><br />I know, it is kind of depressing when I post something I've made and get just a couple of comments (thanks so much for your lovely comments Jane!). I try not to mind too much as I do get pleasure from looking back at my blog myself to see what I've made in the past and where I've been. I'm just thinking of it as an online diary. If I really feel the need for a bit of encouragement comment-wise, I find doing a challenge brings in lots more visits and a few more comments. Oh, and I have two sisters who I know visit every time I post but NEVER comment!!

As for the wild flower meadow, what a treat, and those hanging baskets are beautiful. I agree that planting them up and keeping them going is a real gift, but those are certainly worth the effort. Best wishes to Mr M, hope he is beginning to feel better.<br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410318976755292700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-86340844740003422962012-08-23T09:30:40.320+01:002012-08-23T09:30:40.320+01:00Gosh that is gorgeous - I wish I had the space for...Gosh that is gorgeous - I wish I had the space for a wild flower meadow.<br /><br />Nina x...Nina Nixon...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09778168901706224335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-9334369530394250052012-08-23T08:32:27.503+01:002012-08-23T08:32:27.503+01:00I clicked on those car park flowers and sat lookin...I clicked on those car park flowers and sat looking and looking. How beautiful! Our council has planted verges and roundabouts similarly and they have been a sheer joy. Re hanging baskets: there is a real art in being able to plant them to get a stunning display - not an art I have, that's for sure!

For almost a year I had hardly any comments which didn't surprise me as Blogger wasn't updating that I'd posted - showing that I'd last posted a year ago. All of a sudden it seemed to rectify itself and people started to comment. It's nice when people do leave a comment as it feels worthwhile that you've taken time out to jot the goings on in your life. I suppose a blog is a bit like life itself - people come and go, they flit in and out of our lives. I wouldn't be disheartened. <br />I love those hannging baskets!<br />JuneJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519222546233157254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-13877091445550040862012-08-22T21:59:56.206+01:002012-08-22T21:59:56.206+01:00Remember that quite a lot of people follow through...Remember that quite a lot of people follow through things like Google Reader and Bloglines, etc. So sometimes it is just people changing the way that they are following you.<br /><br />I don't look at the numbers - just write what you want to and don't worry about anyone else!
