Happy 1,000!

Sacramento Digs Gardening reaches big milestone

How time flies when you're having fun, and what could be more fun than gardening in Sacramento? Of course, it has its challenges, too. But that makes the rewards that much sweeter.

Today we mark another milestone for Sacramento Digs Gardening: Our 1,000th post. That represents nearly three years of daily blogging about local gardening and related interests. Every day since our debut on June 1, 2019, we've posted the latest news, observations and usable information (plus fun stuff, too) about Sacramento area gardening.

We don't have a big staff -- it's just two people! But we have a huge amount of dedication to both our subject and our audience. We thank every one of our Followers, Friends and Subscribers! We would not be here without you!

For this blog to last this long, we had to have dedication plus our many friends and dedicated readers. So far, this has been a total labor of love.

We've volunteered our time and expertise because there was a need: Local garden news and information. Sacramento gardeners need reliable, up-to-date gardening news and information specifically for Sacramento-area and Northern California gardeners, provided by local experts and trusted sources.

As longtime Sacramento journalists, we also had a connection with our readers. After other sources of local gardening news evaporated, we could fill that void.

We're gardeners who live and plant here. We experience the same weather, the same pests, the same problems -- and often also the same success. This is stuff we think about on a daily basis. Why not share that information so we can all be better gardeners? (And cooks, too?)
