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

Ladyfest Guelph
I've been busy over the last few months with a number of workshops and projects but thought I would take a moment to document some of that here before the experiences escape me.
I did a workshop called "Grocery Store Gardening" at Ladyfest Guelph back in Sept.

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

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!

A new 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
