Eating violets

Yesterday morning you would have found me sitting in my little front yard with a bowl and a pair of scissors. The 9 year olds riding their bikes up and down the street looked at me oddly, as I sat and one by one picked violets.

Hide and Seek

Over the past few weeks, while I've been only half paying attention, my backyard flowerbeds have been totally taken over by bluebells. At first I was fairly pleased to see them full up with lovely green lush growth; however, slowly (but definitely surely) they have become totally overtaken

Reminder to Self: Plant more bulbs!

I've just finished putting my Spring planting bulbs from Botanus in the ground (mostly hostas and some peonies) and the ones planted last fall are at now really hitting their stride. When I made my choices last Fall I picked most of

Phase 1 Complete

Phase 1 of "Project Deck Garden 2006" was enacted yesterday afternoon. It was inspired by a sunny day and a headache that wouldn't quit, which not surprisingly, was abated after a few hours in the fresh air. I won't bore you with the details as Phase

There’s Some Livin’ Going On

We've been experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures here in Toronto which have pushed me to get out and do some early-season garden work. I can't recall being this eager to get gardening but I suspect that I am always this excited, it's just the lapse of time between

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

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

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

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
