Amaze your friends this holiday season (Part 2)

Are you, like me, sitting at your desk reading crafty blogs, itching to get home and work on your own projects? Sneak in a little bit of time to make your own wrapping paper there at work. Pssst: I won't tell if you

Plant-Related Holiday Gifts You Can Make

I was just thinking... seems like THE HOLIDAY SEASON is here, or something. I am very good at shutting out that which I would rather not see but with the powers that be pummeling us over the head with it earlier and earlier every year, it's kinda hard

Showering Them with… Water

I closed up shop on my rooftop garden this weekend. The terra cotta containers are all brought indoors and stored away for the winter. I'll admit that while I'm sad to see it end for another season, I have begun to realize that I really need

Eggling versus Real Egg: Fight

eggling1.jpg While setting up my "Eggling Experience" I thought it would fall more into the spirit of the much loved but long forgotten "The Lab" section of this site if I were to make this into an Eggling versus Real Egg experiment.

Container Garden Clean-up

Today was a dry and mild reprieve from the awful cold, wet and sometimes windy late fall weather we've been enduring here in Southern Ontario -- a good day to do some garden work. I have found frozen water in the trays underneath the containers on the

Late Season Gardening — Party Time, Excellent.

Despite the cold -- and the fact that we experienced a brief and light snowfall this afternoon -- outdoor gardening is still happening here in Toronto. I am yet to put any of my gardens to bed. The side garden is fine really. Doing a

Fall garden update

Sorry for being MIA the last little while! I got caught up with finishing my Masters over the summer months (what a way to spend the summer!), and am finally kind of getting things back in order now that it's finished... One of the things on

Garlic Lessons Learned

The only remaining bulbs I had on my list to plant for the Fall was my garlic. Planting out the garlic required a bit more preparation as I had to clean up some space in my veggie beds getting rid of finished beans, cukes and some arugula that

The Fantastic Craptastic Compost Bin

Compost Bin I made a discovery while turning the compost heap at my community garden last week. It turns out that someone had stashed away all the ingredients needed to turn our pathetic pile into a reasonable bin -- someone just had to make

Dandelion Hortopita — It’s Really Good!

Dandelion Hortopita Davin and I went on a dandelion picking mission at the community garden the other day, harvesting what we thought was enough to make the dandelion Hortopita recipe. As we picked, I repeatedly muttered that I didn't think we had enough.

Thanksgiving Inspiration

Well it took a couple of weeks, but I think I have finally accepted Fall. Once the windows were closed, the houseplants brought indoors, and the knitting projects pulled out there was no turning back. Monday is Thanksgiving here in Canada. We are a non-traditional

Bringing the Fall Indoors

The crisp fall temperatures have arrived. As I began the transition of summer to fall plants in the garden plot, I suddenly grew even more attached to the immature

‘Chinese Five Colour’ Hot Peppers

'Chinese Five Color' Hot Pepper At a Toronto area You Grow Girl meetup last week we discussed our gardening successes and disappointments of the last year. Beth, a rooftop container gardener mentioned that she was most disappointed by her container-grown 'Chinese Five Colour' (or

Saving Tomato Seeds

It's mid September and sadly most of the container-grown tomato plants on my rooftop are on their last lap. A few green stragglers remain and the vines are starting to yellow and fade. Thankfully I've got another crop still running over at my community garden plot

You get the bug then the bug gets you

They got me. I knew they would but I didn't want to pay attention to the warnings. I wanted to believe green meant go. I wanted the large, luscious leaves to be a sign of solidarity: me and them. I wanted the

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

Can’t Stop the Tomatillo!

In an effort to grow new-to-me determinant tomato varieties, I completely forgot to grow tomatillos this year. By the time I realized my mistake it was too late to start tomatillos from seed and none of my favorite local transplant suppliers were growing them. I'm

Seeds Gone Wild (Lessons for a Seed Whore)

Get seeds organized and in one place is a process I haven't been able to grasp yet. It is not easy when you collect and trade seeds. I have found seeds in bowls put away in the kitchen, seeds in packets in my drawers drawer,

Aphid Invasion

This year I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed by aphids in my yard. On my dahlias, my poppies, the shasta daisies and of course the roses. Earlier they tried to take up residence on my pole beans and recently they also tried to move in on my chard. And
