National Post

Swing by the Toronto Botanical Gardens booth (on the 700 level) directly after both presentations where I’ll be signing books and hanging out.

While grunge was over more than a decade ago, I just might start rocking that title a little. You know, for the selling out and such. As Sarah says, if it can work for “New York’s bad-boy chef” Anthony Bourdain (whom I just happen to LOVE) then… although maybe I’ll have to start actually cultivating a grunge demeanor. I’ve got the potty mouth (however the worst I have ever uttered in a presentation was “crapload”) and have never given up layering over thermal shirts given that I live in the cold north. I will definitely need to change the title to something a little more, ummmm, hardcore like say, “Bad Ass Gardening” or “Get to the Growing Motherfuckers.”
