Have you heard of a new site called Pinterest? It is basically a virtual cork board that allows you to organize and share all the interesting things you find on the internets. Just like other social websites, you “follow” the people who have similar interests, or you can just follow particular boards. It is a fun (and beautiful) way to discover new things.
This is me on Pinterest. Right now Pinterest is only open to new members after you get on the waiting list. But I will be happy to send an invite to the first few people who respond in the comments section with their email address. If you’re already pinning away, leave me a link to your profile, I’d love to follow you there.
I do pin all sorts of things, not just gardening articles. If you’d rather not see that crafting ideas I’m infatuated with, or home decorating pins, or all my ampersands and salt and pepper sets, you can just follow these boards, where I stick to garden related links:
One board in particular that I want to draw your attention to is a group board about edible gardening with pins contributed by various garden bloggers:

Hi Fern,
This LBC girl would love an invitation to pinterest! Congrats on the book., I’m waiting for my copy to arrive. I can’t wait!
I have not gotten into Pinterest yet, but I am seeing a lot of buzz on it. Would you consider me??
It’s just a mild addiction. I have it under control. It’s not like I am an addict or anything?
Hi Fern,
I am looking forward to trying Pinterest. Sorry I left without chatting with you last night, but I will be at the class on Saturday!
I’m very curious about pinterest. I would really like an invitation to this now that you’ve pointed out it’s useful for gardening, too!
I write for the blog MillerLandscapeInc.wordpress.com and I’ve been really interested in getting on Pinterest. I’m just now learning about it though. I’m one of the first commenters, any chance I can get an invite and maybe your perspective on how you use Pinterest?
Also, the link to your new book in Pinterest isn’t working.
thanks for the link to the edibles board! I love that site
I’ve been following some of your boards for a bit now, I’m at http://pinterest.com/sketchkat06/
I’d love to check out Pinterest – I’ve heard a lot about it.
Haha, Bruce, the first step is admitting it! Great post, Fern. I love that veggie garden resource and your boards.
I read one too many article on copyright infringement, re-read Pinterest’s disclaimer and deleted all my boards.
It’s still winter, but today a warm breeze was elbowing its way into the frozen landscape, bringing with it dreams of spring, and planting every nook and cranny with something beautiful, or edible, or just plain weird! Thanks, Fern, for the inspiration on all those counts.
I’d love an invite, and to follow you!
Great article, Fern. No need to follow me — a bunch of my pins are yours!
Hi, Nell. There has been talk of some type of program whereby a website can prohibit pins if they don’t want their pictures & links pinned. I don’t think it’s out there yet, but it’s coming. However, as a retailer (office products, no less), Pinterest is changing online retailing in a big way. “I see it, I want it, where can I get it?” Oh lookie, I can get it right there.
I admire your integrity!
I sent out all the invites to the people who responded before this post. Look forward to seeing what you guys pin!
I’ve had it for a few weeks but I never remember to pin interesting things I see.
Not sure if you have any Pinterest invites left. If so, I would certainly love one. Been reading a lot about it. Looks really fun.
Hi Fern!
I loooovee Pinterest. This is me: http://pinterest.com/pasinke/
Hi Fern, I would love it if you would consider sending me an invite to Pinterest! Congrats on the publication of your new book…it looks great. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my subscription to ‘Life on the Balcony’ and shared many articles with my son who lives the apartment life. Although we have a great yard, I’ve also incorporated many ideas you’ve introduced us all to! Thanks for sharing
Pinterest looks like a great way to organize and share information. Thanks for the invite.
Ah, my Pinterest addiction I’m so glad I can talk about it openly for the better part of a year I have only been a few I could share with like Nancy Wallace (@sassynancy) would love to share more but I have to go pin <\;-)
Thanks for this! I am just getting started with Pinterest, and am excited to see your boards!
I’ve been hesitant about joining Pinterest, but I really enjoy cool garden tips and photos, so please add me: taryncos@yahoo.com
I’m on Pinterest ; would love to “follow” you!

would love an invite to follow you on pinterest, im already on the site but dont know yet how to let you know, other than i am connected to facebook with my site?????? x
Thanks for the Pinterest boards links!!! I’m following now some of your boards. I already have an account there, not doing much with it, but I created a board just for inspirations for a garden, and I repinned many of these ideas. I plan to make a small garden on my future balcony. I’ve been checking out your blog and I plan to buy your book. I have a good one right now ( http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7573781-pots-et-jardini-res ) but I’m really looking forward to get yours too.
