Talking Plants shut up, for now

Last week was exactly 14 years since I began my Talking Plants blog (22 November 2008). I've posted at least weekly - and in the early years more often - with only a brief break while leading a tour to Spain a few years ago (when I still posted a few pictures each week in lieu of a full written plant portrait).  In all, 1,119 blog posts, including this one.

I expect I'll return in a few months with more posts, but I'll see how things go. I do think we need social media that is more than a picture, a name and a quirky comment, but maybe I'm misreading that. In any case, my blog remains a useful resource for me at least when I want to check on the finer details of a particular plant or place, or to track down a reference.

In the meantime:

• Read my latest book, Evergreen: the Botanical Life of a Plant Punk
• Follow me on Instagram (@TimEntwisle) or Twitter (@TimEntwisle)
• And look out for occasional articles in Gardening Australia Magazine and my chats on ABC RN Blueprint for Living.

Backson. Prolly.
