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,

Catalogue Pressure

I gave into a seed catalogue yesterday. It was about time, really, with all the spring-like weather we've been facing. I'd been scanning catalogues bit by bit, but the bad graphics usually turn me off, and ones with stock images don't get a

Window Shopping

I'm a sucker for email newsletters. They offer information and window shopping all in one great big ol' job-distracting, e-mail notifying beep. So, imagine my surprise when today's Best Bets from New York Magazine was gardencentric! Granted, the suggestions are

Since no one else has been shameless enough to beg for votes, I'll step up. You Grow Girl's The Dirt has been nominated for a Canadian Blog Award for Best Activities Blog. There are tons of blogs I

Amaze your friends this holiday season (Part 1)
