I was recently contacted by reader Val Webb, a Mobile resident who blogs about organic gardening and sustainability at The Illustrated Garden. The real treat is that Val, a professional illustrator, uses her own work throughout the site. It's gorgeous. Be sure to check out the archives at the blog's previous address, since that's where most of the posts are. She also has a nice selection of links in the sidebar.

I just found your website, which I am happy to bookmark and will check often. And I appreciate the link to this other, beautiful website as well. The Illustrated Garden is the 1st blog I have ever subscribed to. Her illustrations are amazing. Thanks for the link and for making this site. And here’s a belated welcome to Mobile :) p.s. i would love to see more content on this site, especially pertaining to gardening (and recipes, and everything green) and would be delighted to help in any way i can. peace to you and yours and to everyone.
Hi, thanks for writing in! I’m sorry it took me so long to respond…I got caught in a rather busy streak. I’ll be back at work now finding relevant articles and, eventually, profiling more local producers and retailers. If you like to write you can think about contributing a post about your garden or a local producer or eating locally. Also, just contributing your comments on existing posts is very helpful, since I’d like to have more of a discussion in the comments.
