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:

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
An apple a day, or perhaps a hundred
?Arbolist?Look up the word. I don?t know, maybe I made it up. Anyway, it?s an arbotree-ist, somebody who knows about trees.? George W. Bush as quoted in USA today; August 21, 2001
Well the reckoning has finally come. The cute little apple tree in our back yard
Barbarians at the Gate
Well, it’s been a trying few days here in GardenLand. I now realize just how fortunate I was to have wonderful neighbors for the past 3 years, after I bought this place and moved in. Not only did Ed and Kerri have a cute dog for Hudson to
Urban Plantlife
The following photos were taken on a walk along the railroad tracks in my neighbourhood today.

The Seedlings Have Left the Building
...or rather, they've finally moved *away* from the building. For about 2 months now, I've had trays of seedlings against the back of my house, all in various stages of hardening off. First it was the tomatoes, and then when I finally got all of those planted and/or
All Hail Mulch
Thinking upon the last weekend of May, there are words that spring to my mind. Words like ?triumph? and ?omnipotent? and ?whupass?. For yes truly, as the phoenix doth rise from its ashes so too is my garden no longer a cover candidate for ?Crackhead Landscaping?.

Chia Screech is DEAD!
I know y'all are dying to know what happened to Chia Screech. I'm sad to say that he is now with the Big Chia in the sky. Sniff. It's my fault. I murdered him. I gave him too much water and he started
Time to start building an arc
Hello, my name is Schleprock, and I have the amazing ability to effect major climatic shifts in the environment. All I have to do is decide to go nutty with tomato growing, start hundreds of plants from seed, nurture and coddle them until they're ready to go outside....and
Keeping Up With the Cabrals
I?ve decided June 1 is New Year?s Day at least when it comes to gardening. It certainly doesn?t make much sense to go with January 1. In June I can get outside, take some action and not indulge in any whimsy.
For whimsy and wishful thinking have ruled the
Parkdale Plant Sale
Today I attended the annual Parkdale Horticultural Society Plant Sale. There seemed to be less selection this year. I bought less plants then last year but still managed to break the bank.
