Given the explosion in blogging, including gardening blogs, this is not even the tip of the iceberg. If you want to explore more about the world of garden blogs, I recommend you visit Blotanical. The user interface is a bit quirky, but you won't find a larger and more diverse collection of gardening blogs anywhere.
