Hide and Seek

Over the past few weeks, while I've been only half paying attention, my backyard flowerbeds have been totally taken over by bluebells. At first I was fairly pleased to see them full up with lovely green lush growth; however, slowly (but definitely surely) they have become totally overtaken

Reminder to Self: Plant more bulbs!

Phase 1 Complete

Phase 1 of "Project Deck Garden 2006" was enacted yesterday afternoon. It was inspired by a sunny day and a headache that wouldn't quit, which not surprisingly, was abated after a few hours in the fresh air. I won't bore you with the details as Phase

A little update

There’s Some Livin’ Going On

We've been experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures here in Toronto which have pushed me to get out and do some early-season garden work. I can't recall being this eager to get gardening but I suspect that I am always this excited, it's just the lapse of time between

Seedy Saturday 2006

I spent the day selling t-shirts and books at the Toronto Seedy Saturday event this weekend. It really is growing bigger and better every year (see a pic here). The aisles were packed with excited gardeners from 10 am on and I got to

The Problem with Seedlings

Uh oh, now I worry that I’ll be giving them a complex. “Problem children? She’s calling us PROBLEMS?? Oh, we’ll show HER problems….grumble…” Oh yes, the seedlings have minds of their own, have no doubt about that. And there’s the crux of the matter….the seedlings are a hard

Visiting the Book

I know it's geeky but I like to stop in bookstores to check for the book. If I'm in a new city I'll check in stores I pass on the street, and in my own city I'll check in stores I know carry it just to see
