Windowsill Cozy

Crocheted Windowsill Cozy Here's the follow-up to last week's Toasty Pot Coaster project. This windowsill warmer is easily crocheted much like coaster using double crochets and shell stitches as a decorative edge. Start by measuring the width and depth of your windowsill.

Your Questions Answered: Tall and Floppy Seedlings

Question: I bought an all-in-one seed starting kit that is supposed to make the procedure a breeze. I’m new to this so I tried growing stuff like marigolds, pansies, and herbs but everything died! The seedlings grew tall and floppy with a couple of sad looking leaves.

Ants in my gardening pants

Maggie Wang, forum member and gardening gal, created one of the easiest ways to organize and decipher planting dates by using an Excel Spreadsheet. Gayla posted this chart last year, but its automated style makes it useful for this and years to come. If you, like me,

Seven Years!

I have been so caught up lately in prepping for early spring presentations, working on site-wide changes, and other goings-on that I completely forgot that sometime within the month of February, this site reached its seventh year online! Every year I say I will remember, and every

Rooting Begonias

This morning on my blog I wrote about how we're getting crowded out of our dining room by the sheer number of plants in there, so it seems only natural that the next thing I did this morning while drinking my coffee, and in my housecoat,

Starting

And almost as though to laugh at me in the face in regards to my last post, it has been snowing, snowing, snowing here for approximately four hours today, and sticking to boot. It started just as I had arrived home from buying myself a plastic flat,

Seedy Saturdays

It is no secret that Seedy Saturday is by far my very favourite gardening event of the year. It's a great way to trade and purchase local, organic and heirloom seeds and support small gardening and seed suppliers. It is also a turning point in

Lilac FAQs

I saw a comment pop up on an old post of mine from last May about Lilacs that I thought I would pull out and do my best to address here. The comment, or rather question was about a healthy seeming lilac bush that doesn't seem to

Awaiting

I wish there was something wonderful and exciting for me to report, but alas, there's only something I feel is wonderful and exciting to half-report. I feel the spring in the air, and white the other side of the continent from me is frozen, dreary, and covered in snow,

Toasty Pot Coaster

Like many apartments mine boasts poorly insulated windows and baseboard electric heating. Yep, it's a keeper. With the weather being in the high My Ass is About to Fall Offs I've been scheming ingenius ways to keep the plants that are stuck enduring their fate on

Portland 2007

arrow.jpg I'll be in Portland, Oregon next week to speak at the Yard, Garden, and Patio Show on the topic of growing an edible garden in just about any environment. Of course I also want to check out some local gardens, thrift stores,

Super Mega Deluxe Apple/Pear Pie (with Spelt Crust)

applepearpie.jpg I promised this recipe months ago but alas my spontaneous, never-the-same-thing-twice cooking style makes recipe writing tricky. This is a good pie to make during the winter since apples and pears are the only local fruits still available at the farmer's market.

$2 Gardening Porn

I want to talk about one of my favourite gardening books. It's called "New Kitchen Garden" by Adam Caplin. I bought it as a bargain book for $9.99 but in all honesty it might would have been worth the original price. (Holy moley, Chapter's

Bulb Tip Sheets

My favourite mail-order bulb folks Botanus have added a "Tip Sheets" section to their website to house PDFs with handy info on various bulb related gardening tasks. The library isn't huge as of yet, though they promise they'll be adding to it. There's a few different

Is It Springtime Yet?

ophiopogon.jpg You know you're suffering some major mid-winter gardening itch when you set out to spend a few minutes on a sunny Sunday morning bathing orchids and watering African violets... and then the next thing you know 4 HOURS have passed!! In

Seed Catalogues MIA

I had intended to write a post about seed catalogue arrivals and all of the exciting new things I want to try this year but so far only two catalogues have arrived (one of which I didn't even order!) with rest of the usual suspects seemingly missing-in-action.

Kitchen Birds

One of our cat's favourite things these days is to hover around the sliding glass door in our kitchen and chatter at the birds that feed outside that door. Although I didn't see any birds this morning, I could hear them outside the house somewhere, and Farley

Red Mulch

It's really far too early to start getting supplies or thinking about tomatoes but with the weather outside being in the minus kill-me-nows I can't help but start peaking at the Lee Valley catalogue. I've already decided that I'm going to sacrifice a couple of my

Grow-op Set-up

There have been some whispers in the Forums about starting seeds already. Some of the members of You Grow Girl live in areas where it's already the season for growing. Here in Southern Ontario, though, we're still experiencing snow and wind chill warnings. I've

Unkillable Herb: Broadleaf Thyme

Loads of gardening articles and books proclaim that it is easy to grow herbs indoors however it is my experience, and I bet it's yours too, that most herbs are fine during the summer months but many take a real beating towards the last half of winter.
