Brenda Kula – I do want to be honest with my reviews. I would feel remiss to you guy and cheap if all I put were positive things.

Lindsay – They do make nice books. I want a hottub to read them in too!

Anthony – You know, I was wondering that myself. But then I figured that there is still a healthy proportion of people not using the internet yet (40% or 30% I think) and not everyone is hokked up to the internet all the time, so maybe those people would enjoy having the DVD.

Debbie – Awesome! Thanks for stopping by. I am glad you came.

Hi Hanna, I came here via Cowgirl and loved the “What Flower Are You”. I’m not an avid gardener like YOU are, but I do piddle around a little. I’ll be back to read more! Thank you and I have added your flower to my blog

Thanks for the review. I agree that programs should never automatically install themselves. If they want to pop something up when the DVD is inserted for less technical people, that’s fine but not an auto install.

And is there still a market for Gardening DVDs out there? Most of the gardeners that I know are pretty thrifty and with YouTube and other free video sites out there, will people actually buy Gardening DVDs?

Thanks for the review. I’ve always been impressed by the home and garden books Taunton puts out, but I too am not crazy about installing any extra software on my computer so will probably avoid. I also spend too much time at the computer already, so the books and magazines are nice for taking to the hot tub or my reading nook.

I’m with you. I hate automatically downloaded programs. Just bought this Dell XPS and there’s all kinds of stuff, as usual, I didn’t want already on here. And also, like you, I need my precious space for all the gardening pics. Don’t download songs, as I’m one of those silly “silence is golden” type of individuals. But I do like the fact that, though they sent you something, you didn’t feel compelled “to like it!”
