Richter’s 2006

The mere mention of the word "Richter's" to my step-mom, Heather, this afternoon meant we were going on a short road trip! It took about a half hour for us to get there, but man was it worth it. Imagine all the plants Richter's brings to Canada Blooms

Musings on Plants

Today I was eyeing the plants at my grocery store. We all know not to ever expect much from the grocery store plants, as they're usually completely neglected, dry, and limp looking if not half (or totally) dead. However, the grocery store plants are the closest

Eating violets

Yesterday morning you would have found me sitting in my little front yard with a bowl and a pair of scissors. The 9 year olds riding their bikes up and down the street looked at me oddly, as I sat and one by one picked violets.

Lilac Season

Sometime around last weekend the lilac in my backyard burst into bloom. Since then we've been enjoying stunning cut blooms and scent in the house. As I was bringing the cuttings into the house, I was reminded of last year around this time when I made my partner

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!

I've just finished putting my Spring planting bulbs from Botanus in the ground (mostly hostas and some peonies) and the ones planted last fall are at now really hitting their stride. When I made my choices last Fall I picked most of

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

Getting My Seeds Started, Right

This year will go down in history as the year I not only started seeds on time, organized all seeds by category (direct sow, indoor starts, and never-going-to-grow-it-so-trade-it-already), AND managed to draw up some kind of "plan" beyond casual (and quickly forgetten) mental lists. I rule.

Spring and fig advice

Since everyone else is doing their spring updates... Well, it's finally getting to the point where I'm not afraid it's going to snow again up on the hill, so time to think about getting back into the dirt! So far, I have renewed the old garden plot, though I'm

A little update

So I thought I'd make a little update because I've been thinking a lot about gardening lately, but it's been all thinking and no action. After we had are weird little cold snap about a month ago (it snowed, do you hear me?) I got all down and thought

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

A Slow July

Well, better late than never, here is my review of July--it consisted of more aphid infestation and finally planting the community garden plot (yay!) Just after ridding my herb boxes of the green aphids that sucked the life out of the dill, a new breed decided to take up

Rooftop Garden: July 1

Things are coming along swell on the rooftop garden. In fact, this is turning out to be my best year ever! The weather has been incredibly hot and dry, and as a result I have been out there religiously watering containers, sometimes as much as twice

the good, the bad, and the really ugly.

I began the season with high spirits, unfortunately, the ugly weather out here has put a cramp in my grand plans. My garden plot is a bog and has subsequently STILL not been planted. I don't know how much longer I can hold out, but the

June Update

It's time for the update, and I'm pleased. Well, sort of. My garden is going slower than I would have liked, but it's going strong regardless. Finally, last weekend I got everything in the ground that'll be there for this year. That means I

Waiting for the Rain

We've been experiencing a rather long bought of both extremely high temperatures and humidity levels plus drought here in the city. They've been getting rain and other strange weather patterns outside the city, but here in the core it's been nothing but massive heat and humidity with
