Garden Update: Side Garden and Deck

This week has been a frenzy of cleaning, selecting plants and planting. As hard as I try, I've got perpetual dirt-under-the-nails. I should have thought to take a picture to show what I mean.

I haven't been up to much in

Parkdale Horticultural Society Plant Sale 2005

Another May, another act of gluttony at the Parkdale Horticultural Society plant sale. Okay perhaps there was slightly less gluttony on my part this year -- arriving late always helps since the good stuff goes in a matter of minutes. But I just can't help myself

Seedlings’ Big Day!

There comes a time in every seedling’s life when it must leave the safety of the nest for the cold, harsh world outside. Now, I’ve been reluctant to get to this point, having been sufficiently scarred from last year’s fiasco, where monsoon rains rolled in EVERY TIME I

May!

Gayla has been kind enough to let me in on the plant journal action, thanks! So, to update, I went with some friends down to the VanDusen plant sale last weekend. Meet my new little friends, and some old ones!

April!

This month will go down as the wackiest April in recent memory. We had some unseasonably warm days followed by a handful of cold, grey, wet days. Yesterday was sunny one minute, and literally hailing ice pellets the next! Thankfully I did manage to set

I’m in love, I’m in love!

I’m sure some of you know that feeling, when you just can’t pull your eyes away, and you feel the constant need to touch and stroke and caress. Marveling at the beauty and perfection that belongs to you and only you, that needs you as much as you

I built my first garden!!!! (well, sort of my first)

I bought a house (my first house-- yea, strong independent women buying their own houses!) in November, moved in December 6th, and am now getting to, for the very first time, build a garden that is mine... Now, the "for the first time" is sort of a misnomer,

The New Plot

Today I threw in a few plants and a few seeds to my new garden just as the sun was going down and it started to rain. I'm glad I'm finally getting things started! The rest of the plants will be already started. I don't

Book Launch Party & Other Goings On

Just a reminder that the Book Launch Party is coming up this Wed night at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Details can be found here. -------------------------------------------- The view on my deck is looking somewhat more inviting today. I did not take a photo but it is

Seedy Saturday

I had a table at Seedy Saturday over the weekend where I sold some books and t-shirts. The turnout was great and I got to meet a lot of people who visit the site. Thanks so much to everyone who came out and stopped by

Seeds and Keylimes

Today's view out on my deck. Well gang, it's March which means it's time to get on the seed situation. I've gone as far as to move some plants around and hook up the *super fancy* electric warming mat. My lemongrass LOVES it, making me feel

March Madness

Yesterday I went to my favorite nursery with my friend. But before I get into that, I have to tell y'all a story about a Toothless Wonder sighting I had last fall outside of the nursery. I was filling my car up with gas, when guess

Now In Stores

The book is starting to make appearances in retail stores. I didn't expect to see it so soon here in Canada but I was informed on Saturday night that some copies were spotted at Pages Books on Queen St. Of course I had to go see

Spring Planning

Holy Cow! It's been another long stretch since I last updated this journal! I wasn't sure I even remembered my password or how to post an entry! I did some late fall planting. I know I bought some ornamental peppers, some mums, and some plant that I

It IS Real

What an exciting day! Five fresh copies of the book arrived on my doorstep this morning. The book looks great and I'm excited to finally see it in print. Here are a few photos: - Front of the book - Here I am holding all

Housewarming/Plantwarming– a big hit

It worked. If you ever have a housewarming-- or even just a party-- and want people to bring something from their heart, that they don't have to work hard to create (unlike a hand braided rug, for instance), and is basically free-- then ask them to

House plant shame

I am ashamed. I am a plant professional, and plant teacher, and I am ashamed of my own houseplants. A boy I was seeing commented about our potential future together, "well, for one thing I couldn't live here with all these half-dead houseplants." Now,

New year!

So I thought I'd finally make another update on this blog since I haven't done so in [insert embarrassing long ago date here]. It's a new year, and with that I'm planning on good things for my garden. Since moving to urban Vancouver I haven't had my little

Dog Days of Summer

What are the Dog Days of Summer? And is the this time of the year that it occurs? Is it when all dogs are tired? I know my dog is. After two and a half months of listening to my two kids bicker and

Shirking

It's been a mix of work and romantic drama this year leaving not enough time for gardening to conquer my habitual laziness. There's no cow parsley anywhere, I'll give myself credit for that. But the grass is knee deep in places, the shrubs are
