Bob Easter’s Carrots

Photo by Gayla Trail

Organic gardener Bob Easter shows off his harvest at the Sunshine Community Garden in Austin, Texas last week. They are already harvesting carrots! Meanwhile, back in Toronto, home of the never-ending winter, we are only dreaming about the carrots we will grow and harvest in a few months. Sigh.

I took this photo last week while in Austin photographing gardeners for The Green Mind’s Project.

Garden Monkey’s Celebrity Hijack

I was recently interviewed for the Garden Monkey’s Celebrity Hijack series. When the mysterious (and totally hilarious) Garden Monkey contacted me about an interview I jumped on the chance because I knew it would be fun. This interview was an absolute joy to answer and a bit of a thinker too. Plus I got to swear a wee bit. You have no idea how hard I work to reign my potty mouth in on a daily basis. While you’re over there be sure to check out the previous interviews with some of the UK’s most famous gardeners. I love that almost everyone prefers the title “gardener” over “horticulturalist.”

Given my brand of humor it comes as no surprise that the two most interesting interviews I have conducted recently have come from UK publications.
