The garlic mustard population is really getting out-of-hand at the community garden this year. I've discovered loads of it in unused areas of disturbed, lousy soil and it is expanding rapidly into the edges around plot beds. 
Right. So. Yet another reason why I can not grow edibles in the Guerilla / Street Garden.
The other night we stepped outside for a walk to discover a giant patch of bright blue paint slapped 
We popped over for a quick mini-visit to the community garden yesterday afternoon. I wanted to bring some kitchen scraps to add to the compost bin on our way to have lunch and run errands. 
I bought another box of pansies yesterday. This new batch falls primarily within a blacks, dark purples and reds colour palette. Some are frilly.
In case you are interested they are as follows: 'Panola Fire,' 'Imperial Antique Shades,' 'Frizzle Sizzle Mix' 
Last fall I decided to participate in a national growing experiment called, The Great Canadian Garlic Collection, wherein hundreds, possibly thousands of gardening nerds are growing garlic, recording their results, and then pooling the data so 
And one most excellent misspelling.
FYI: This is what passes for an impatiens in San Francisco. If you live in a warmer climate you will be unimpressed by my discovery. If you are from my neck of the woods your mind will have been blown wide open!
