A visit to Erika's apartment a month back has inspired a new sense of excitement about my own windowsills. The morning after the tour, we experienced a rare winter treat here in Toronto: sunshine! Garden Tour: Erika’s Small Apartment of Small Plants
Yesterday afternoon I was invited into the apartment of a fellow Parkdale resident to check out her collection of fascinating and unusual plants. The visit brought the plant junky in me out in full force. I went In Search of My Grandmother’s Garden
I am doing something big this winter, something I have wanted to do for a very long time. It has sat inside me for years and years as a wish that I never quite believed would happen. Even now, with some of the plane 
I have Charles’ Tobacco
To begin, I am going to preface this entry with a note about tobacco since I know this topic is controversial and likely to ruffle some feathers. As adults we are all aware that smoking tobacco is My Brother’s Garden
Hey Internet,
Remember when I helped my brother make a container garden on his balcony? Behold, it LIVES!
He's done really, really well for someone with All In the Family
Yesterday I spent eleven hours helping my brother Jay become a container gardener. The original plan was to show up with a few supplies, have lunch, and spend two hours tops setting up. In and out. Back to work by 2pm. Yoga for Gardeners
Spring is such a high-impact time in the garden that I figure this yoga series geared towards the aches and pains caused by repetitive physical activity in the garden just might be in order for a good many of us today.
Too bad they don't have a
In the Beginning, a Seed
This is the first package of seeds I have purchased for the 2008 growing season. Of course I have acquired other seeds via trades but this was the first I bought. It has a decidedly Canadian sounding name, no? Michael Pollan - Ted Talk
Unfortunately when it comes to Mr. Michael Pollan I can not seem to get past an unfortunate and debilitating case of "teenage fan girl ridiculousness" (squeal!) to write about his work with a modicum of professionalism. If you haven't heard of his writings and work already I

I first came across the work of Derek Powazek online about 10 years ago when I was working as a graphic designer in the interactive department of The Place That Shall Not Be Named. Derek's retired online Giant Loofah
One of the things I love best about this site is checking out the fantastic gardening projects members of this site share via the forums. Last week, while making my morning rounds, I came across this fantastic, Godzilla-esque loofah (aka luffa) grown and recently harvested
Please Don’t Destroy My Garden No More
I really need to make a sign like this for my street garden. Except mine would include an assortment of choice words and threats... all the things I want to say to the various offenders but can't because I never catch them in Secret Gardens
I'll be traveling to Hamilton, Ontario this Sunday to do a book signing and give two presentations at the Royal Botanical Gardens. Giving gardening presentations and workshops has become a regular part of my spring schedule yet it is something I rarely seem to
Gardening Mad
Because I haven't done so in a while, be advised that this post contains cursing.
I received an email from a reader recently who was “disappointed” by the current contest prize pack which is comprised of assorted items from Julie Jackson’s Subversive Cross-stitch line. My initial
Rockin out to Heavy Petal (Interview with Andrea Bellamy)

My husband and I recently joined a local organic community garden, and were pleased to find when we paid our seasonal rate for the plot, that we had also acquired membership in Canagian Organic Growers--the national information network for organic gardeners, farmers and consumers.

Your Gardens
While harvesting a-plenty from my own gardens, I have been eagerly following the harvest from your gardens. The Garden Show & Tell section of the homepage has been filling up lately with photos of vine-ripened tomatoes and piles of peppers. And I have noticed
Dallas Hays, a Gardener After My Own Heart
I was recently inspired by a gardener profiled in the April/May issue of Organic Gardening magazine. In the interview, gardener Dallas Hays of Lewiston, Idaho talks about making his own fish fertilizer (good for nitrogen) "..using a blender and squawfish from a nearby lake." He
