100 Mile Eating

As a follow-up to Christina's post about eating local vs. organic, I thought y'all might be interested in the 100 Mile Diet site. The site is one of the pieces of a larger puzzle put together by a friend of mine, James MacKinnon, and his partner

The Modern Alchemist

Words like hyperaccumulator and phytoremediation sound like something straight out of a 1960s Sci-Fi movie and hardly verbs describing gardens. But when the conceptual, and socially minded artist Mel Chin creates a garden, you get these lengthy words among others. Mel Chin is a Texas born artist now living in North Carolina; and when

My Trug Tub Love

Try saying that three times fast. TrugTubLove. TrugTubLove... Anyway. Gayla's post about Lee Valley got me to thinking about my last Lee Valley impulse purchase. I had stopped there on my way back from picking up a load of compost, and tried very hard to restrain myself

The Lee Valley Lure

The one-stop crack distribution depo of the Canadian gardening world recently opened a store in downtown Toronto, and... ummm... I have been there twice in two days. I want to state for the record that prior to this I have never purchased a Lee Valley product,

Local vs Certified organic

Last week I went to a film and discussion series entited "Label Me Confused: What organic, free range, and all those other words really mean" at a local theater. Several organic farmers gathered to discuss the benefits of choosing to eat locally produced and/or organic foods rather

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

Birds and Blooms

I disovered a cool magazine when I was visiting my grandmother a couple of weekends ago. It's called Birds and Blooms (Beauty in Your Own Backyard). It's an American publication dedicated to showcasing...well, you guessed it: birds and plants (and butterflies too).

How to be greener

I work at a university that has finally decided to develop a "sustainability initiative." Because I am a librarian, I was asked to create a bibliography of resources to enhance our faculty's understanding of the concept and how they might incorporate it into their departments' curricula.

Siftin’ for Gold

Some how we missed spring here in the Piedmont of North Carolina. The cool breezy afternoons have passed us over, and we went from weather in the 30's to weather in the 80's. What is a girl to do? I say its time to put some funk into

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
