Martha Sewart Radio has a new gardening blog. And it's not always pretty.

Sometimes it's even gross. Martha Stewart Radio has launched a new garden blog -- At Home in the Garden -- a spin-off of the Martha Stewart Radio Blog which covered way more than just gardening. But, just a warning, it can be sometimes be ugly.

The container garden on the MSL rooftop in NYC.

So far, they've covered blossom-end-rot; spiders; and hopelessly-tangled, tumbleweed-looking garden hoses. Yeah, they cover other cute & pretty stuff, like bunnies, clever use of morning glories, some flower arranging and even the benefits of turkey vultures (not to the benefit of the bunnies). But I can more relate to hose frustration, spiders that build the same web in the same place overnight (every night), and stupid tomatoes with blossom-end-rot.

One of the contributors, Stacey Hirvella, a Senior Associate Garden Editor for Martha Stewart Living, was here for Garden Walk Buffalo this year. The site launched the week she got back to NYC from Buffalo. There's three other contributors -- Andrew Beckman, Tom Borgses, and Tony Bielaczyc -- all with serious garden credentials beyond their experience with MSL. And the best part of having four contributors is -- new posts every day -- a feat nearly impossible for and individual blogger (with a their own business, family, friends, travel, and on many community non-profit boards & groups).

There's even a great post titled, Gardening is Contagious that mentions Garden Walk Buffalo and has photos Stacey took while here! Check it out! My wife & daughter visited the MSL studios while on a recent trip to NYC and took these photos on their rooftop garden. They came back with tales of prop rooms photographers dream about and pet frogs found in purchased plants & foods. Told you it wasn't pretty there.
