At last…

So after leaving my little garden back 600 KM away in Vancouver, I'm left wondering "what does it look like now? Has it been mowed over, or is it being nurtured?" Either way, I'll never know so it's time to drop it. I've secured myself a living domicile here

California Giants

I'm currently in Northern California for the Blogher Conference. I've been to these parts once before but the massiveness of the plants, most especially the invasives really stand out this time. Monster Nasturtiums

I assumed this patch of renegade nasturtiums was a random fluke.

Deconstructing the Shed

Several years ago, London's Victoria and Albert Museum hosted The Other Flower Show. Ten renowned artists were invited to transform a museum-provided garden shed into a work of art. The result was an exhibit conceptually based around the method of gardening rather than the garden itself. The

Square Foot Gardening Update: Box #2

Agh. A week went by and I ran out of time to do a review of what’s going on with my second square foot gardening box (a 4’x 4’ square), and now that I look back at this photo that was taken only a week ago, I realize

Leaving the Garden Behind

Well, it's come to the time when I have to stay goodbye to the garden I've built and worked for two years. But that's okay, as my mother says "there'll be other gardens to sow", and she's right. But still, it's always hard saying goodbye.

Square foot Gardening Update: Box #1

The heat, mixed with a few days of rain this week, sent the various plants in my two square foot garden boxes (to avoid confusion that's two 4'x4' squares) to growin' up a storm. This weekend I spent a whole lot of time staking, harvesting and replanting and

Easy Peasy Birdbath

Now that the veggies are producing quite happily, I have a few weeks of down time before I start the cooler weather veggies. So my attention has turned to the birds. Birds are great to have around, they eat some grubby little insects I

A Bag Made of Bags

This crocheted bag looks like a great project to make for toting your garden harvest or trips to the Farmer's Market. It's made using plastic grocery bags cut into workable "yarn" strips. I like that the

Growing More-erer Food

Because I am afflicted with the disease commonly known as "Can't-Walk-Past-Plants, Most-Especially-Plants-on-Sale"-itis and because an entire kitchen garden that was non-existent a few days ago doesn't seem to be enough today; I done went and bought me some pathetic-looking transplants. But wait, they were only fifty cents!

Project “Grow More Food”

It's time for me to face the cold, hard truth; my plot at The Parkdale Community Beer Garden is officially crap for growing veggies. With every new year I have found that while my soil continues to improve, the light on my tiny plot has been slowly

Versus the Squirrels (Part 2)

Well it turns out that the squirrels just up and left of their own accord. I have no idea why they would want to leave considering the cornucopia of delights waiting just outside their front door, but I'm not about to complain. And with their
