Assorted and Sundry for 08/05/30

  • Eddie’s Tower Comes Down – I was so sad to hear that Eddie’s Tower (aka The Tower of Toys) at the 6th Street & Avenue B Community Garden in New York’s East Village was torn down recently. I’d heard it was going and had been hoping to get there for one last look.
  • Scotts: “Oops. Sorry, my Bad” – Scotts are in a bit of a tizzy with the EPA for selling products that were never registered. And the packages were printed with invalid numbers. Oh, and some packages contained inadequate safety instructions. It’s all just, you know, a “little bit” illegal. [Thanks Katherine]
  • Food and Veggie Recipe Cards – 20 pack of brightly coloured recipe cards depicting food and veggies. I really wish I had the patience to use recipe cards.
  • Women’s Garden Cycles Bike Tour – Three women traveled on bikes from D.C. to Montreal to document food gardens. Amazing!

Mimosa (Santiago de Cuba)

It’s been a while now since our trip to Santiago de Cuba but I think I took this at Jardin Gran Piedre which is located in an old coffee plantation near the top of a mountain.

I got sidetracked in one of my Cuba photos folders this morning and put a few garden pictures up in my Flickr account. These are not “good” pictures so please don’t expect the kind of quality you see here. They are taken with a crappy little point and shoot digital I use for “documenting” things of interest that I couldn’t be bothered to take time with.
