Easy Peasy Birdbath

Now that the veggies are producing quite happily, I have a few weeks of down time before I start the cooler weather veggies. So my attention has turned to the birds. Birds are great to have around, they eat some grubby little insects I

A Bag Made of Bags

Plastic Bag Tote (Marlo Cairns) This crocheted bag looks like a great project to make for toting your garden harvest or trips to the Farmer's Market. It's made using plastic grocery bags cut into workable "yarn" strips. I like that the

Project “Grow More Food”

It's time for me to face the cold, hard truth; my plot at The Parkdale Community Beer Garden is officially crap for growing veggies. With every new year I have found that while my soil continues to improve, the light on my tiny plot has been slowly

Off the Cuff Edging

Never one to adhere to tradition, I have started swallowing my grassy yard up with perennials and edibles. Several factors have prevented total success with the work so far, though, and a major one has been communication between my spouse and myself. This was especially apparent one evening

Following the Status Quo: $16,565.00

Office Manager may sound like a hefty title, for those not in the know, but really I am just a glorified secretary. Sure I have a degree, but that doesn't equate to a high paying job in my chosen field: art. So I make enough to live

Succulent Window Box 2006

Growing succulents in the windowbox on the fire escape portion of my rooftop garden has become a tradition -- most likely because they are just about the only plants that can survive the intense sun, heat, and drought. The deck is fully exposed to all sorts of

Free Fence Idea

Free Twig Fence I came across this low fence made of tree prunings while walking through Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. It's very simply constructed and relies on the v-shape where one branch joins another rather than fussing with string and wire. Mind

Green Minds

I need your help finding subjects for a project I'm starting this spring/summer. I'm looking to photograph gardeners in their gardens. What is a garden? My concept of a garden is very open-ended. It can be anything from a sprawling lush paradise to a single plant growing in a

Plant Shall Eat Plant

Make Herb Tea Fertilizer Did you know you can make liquid fertilizer for your plants using other plants? Sounds like floral cannibalism but it's not unlike compost when you think about it. Some plants are high in particular nutrients which can be extracted in the same way

Grow a Crate o’ Mache

I keep hearing that fancy, mega-expensive containers are one of the current trends in gardening this year. To which I reply with a big fat WHATEVER. You can keep your fancy-schmancy urns and leave all of that quality junk for me. I found this discarded

A House of Their Own

With a short lull in a bathroom reno project that's been occupying most of my creative energy, I've been thinking about taking some of the wood scraps in the basement and building a birdhouse. Cally's post and photo about hers kind of sold me on the

Just in Time for the Weekend!

Okay, so not all of us are quite. . .ummm. . .physically prepared for the gardening season. One day out planting veggies equals 2 days inside vegging out, sore and slightly grumpy.   Come on, now.  You're thrifty, you're crafty, you're talented, you can do anything! (Except for move your sore tush.)

Paper Houseplants

Paper Houseplants As if gardening with living plants isn't enough to keep me occupied, I've recently become obsessed with plants crafted from paper. Download and construct your own garden of indoor houseplants, from the Epson Hong Kong site. Patterns include ivy, lucky

Pop Bottle Pots

Pop Bottle Pots So they're not very stylin', but these self-watering planters made from junked pop bottles are pretty handy for the well-intentioned but forgetful gardener. The bottom watering system keeps cuttings and seedlings on the right side of moist without

Don’t have room for a garden? Knit Your Own!

So besides being an avid gardening, I've an avid knitter. That means I'm always looking for cool new things to knit up. Today I got the idea in my head "hey, what about knitting plants??" So after a little searching I found these awesome knit plants that you can

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.

New garden: Dug!

So I finally got it done - yesterday admist the gloom of a rainy day, I dug my garden. It only took me about 1.5-2 hours, and it's about 4x3 feet (I figured I could always expand it a bit more if I needed to). I

And so it begins.

I took at stroll down to Granville Island (which isn't an island, nor is it on Granville St.), where I happened upon a gardening shop that I had never seen before. Besides all the cool garden supplies they already had a good stock of herb, veggie and

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

Chia Screech Update

After NOT following the written instructions, CS is finally growing hair. I didn't realize that you had to also soak the seed for 24 hours also. I was wondering how the seeds would stick to the head. When you soak them for 24 hours, it makes this
