Feed Them to Assorted Mammalian Creatures

Eggplant Carnage My first response is a loud string of expletives followed by a very long and drawn, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" tomato_bite.jpg 'Black Cherry' tomato with chunk extraction. Oh the humanity. A mysterious mammalian creature has been visiting the rooftop deck and taking nibbles out

Another Reason to Compost

I discovered another cost of garbage, both economical and environmental, while watching a segment on solar powered trash compactors on Daily Planet. I don't know why this didn't occur to me, but of course fuel is needed to operate the garbage trucks that haul garbage off

EcoForms

EcoForms (photo from EcoForms.com) The world of gardening containers is a sad carnival of ugly. I grow A LOT of plants, therefore requiring A LOT of pots. Unfortunately, the few stylish containers out there fall outside of a price range affordable to the

The Scented Garden

dahlia and lilyWith summer in full swing most of my garden work these days is about maintaining: watering, weeding and reseeding the odd head of lettuce. For the past week or so these chores have been particularly lovely as a few of

At last…

So after leaving my little garden back 600 KM away in Vancouver, I'm left wondering "what does it look like now? Has it been mowed over, or is it being nurtured?" Either way, I'll never know so it's time to drop it. I've secured myself a living domicile here

Gardening for Climate Change

"As weird weather and record-high temperatures continue to afflict much of the northern hemisphere, the natural flora around us — and what we can grow in our gardens — is slowly changing." Read the rest here, at the Toronto Star.

California Giants

I'm currently in Northern California for the Blogher Conference. I've been to these parts once before but the massiveness of the plants, most especially the invasives really stand out this time. Monster Nasturtiums I assumed this patch of renegade nasturtiums was a random fluke.

Deconstructing the Shed

Several years ago, London's Victoria and Albert Museum hosted The Other Flower Show. Ten renowned artists were invited to transform a museum-provided garden shed into a work of art. The result was an exhibit conceptually based around the method of gardening rather than the garden itself. The

Square Foot Gardening Update: Box #2

Agh. A week went by and I ran out of time to do a review of what’s going on with my second square foot gardening box (a 4’x 4’ square), and now that I look back at this photo that was taken only a week ago, I realize

Leaving the Garden Behind

Well, it's come to the time when I have to stay goodbye to the garden I've built and worked for two years. But that's okay, as my mother says "there'll be other gardens to sow", and she's right. But still, it's always hard saying goodbye.

Square foot Gardening Update: Box #1

The heat, mixed with a few days of rain this week, sent the various plants in my two square foot garden boxes (to avoid confusion that's two 4'x4' squares) to growin' up a storm. This weekend I spent a whole lot of time staking, harvesting and replanting and

Growing More-erer Food

Because I am afflicted with the disease commonly known as "Can't-Walk-Past-Plants, Most-Especially-Plants-on-Sale"-itis and because an entire kitchen garden that was non-existent a few days ago doesn't seem to be enough today; I done went and bought me some pathetic-looking transplants. But wait, they were only fifty cents!

Project “Grow More Food”

It's time for me to face the cold, hard truth; my plot at The Parkdale Community Beer Garden is officially crap for growing veggies. With every new year I have found that while my soil continues to improve, the light on my tiny plot has been slowly

Versus the Squirrels (Part 2)

Well it turns out that the squirrels just up and left of their own accord. I have no idea why they would want to leave considering the cornucopia of delights waiting just outside their front door, but I'm not about to complain. And with their

Abandoning the Plot

Yesterday as I looked out on my little garden and picked out the weeds, it occured to me that I won't get to see the fruits of my labour this year. In about three weeks I'll be gone, off to another city. The finalization of this happened only

Growing Hard Beans

Last week, said friend and I were having a drink and discussing the ups and downs of local eating. He happens to be something of a literal expert on the subject and is a true wealth of info on all foodstuffs local. In my dream

Seed Ratios

As I've mentioned before I've taken the Square Foot Garden approach to my veggie garden this year, and am so far growing and harvesting a fair crop of our most regularly consumed veggies. I've been taking advantage of the very mild climate of the West Coast here and

Following the Status Quo: $16,565.00

Office Manager may sound like a hefty title, for those not in the know, but really I am just a glorified secretary. Sure I have a degree, but that doesn't equate to a high paying job in my chosen field: art. So I make enough to live

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

Audible Flavor to Savor

I must admit, rather proudly actually, that I am hooked on National Public Radio. I am rarely impressed with top 40 radio, less impressed with the hip hop of late, and classic rock bores me to tears the moment Stairway to Heaven starts up.
