I know that this cute little product has made the rounds in the design and gardening world so I know I'm probably not showing you anything new. I have been resisting the charm of the Eggling since I first heard of them Falling in Love with Grassland
I am finally accepting the fact that winter is coming and I had better enjoy fall (despite all of this horrible rain) while it lasts. One of the gifts gardening has given me is the ability to look at the landscape and plantlife around me with new
Grinding Herbs
Today I got around to grinding up my dried herbs. Why? Because I found a great deal on a coffee bean grinder at Loblaws...$9.99! It worked really well.
Each weekend lately I've been harvesting from the garden whatever edibles I can. I managed to bring
Flowering Stevia
Unbelievable! My stevia plant is flowering!
I brought my large stevia plant indoors about a month ago. We have had a very cold, wet Fall in Toronto which does not bode well with the delicate nature of stevia. I have learned My Minty Centrepieces
I got married last month and I sure as sugar wasn't going to incorporate the usual, boring, over-the-top, expensive floral centrepieces I saw in most wedding magazines into our reception!
Instead, I thought I'd buy scented geraniums. However, when I got to Richter's to buy them
Growing More-erer Food
Because I am afflicted with the disease commonly known as "Can't-Walk-Past-Plants, Most-Especially-Plants-on-Sale"-itis and because an entire kitchen garden that was non-existent a few days ago doesn't seem to be enough today; I done went and bought me some pathetic-looking transplants. But wait, they were only fifty cents!
Herb Fair 2006
For the third year in a row, I attended the Harbourfront Herb Fair this weekend with some of the You Grow Girls. I think this was the best one yet. There were a few new vendors, some new samples to try (mmm, green tea), and as

They Were Right
"Invasive" does, in fact mean, well, "invasive". I'm always curious when I buy a new plant labelled as invasive, just how invasive can it be, really? That one little starter plant can't really get to be that big in one season, can it?
Besides the usual mints,
Richter’s 2006
The mere mention of the word "Richter's" to my step-mom, Heather, this afternoon meant we were going on a short road trip!
It took about a half hour for us to get there, but man was it worth it. Imagine all the plants Richter's brings to Canada Blooms
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
Canada Blooms: Herbs & Edibles
I gave a workshop/demonstration today at Canada Blooms on growing herbs and other edibles in a strawberry pot but I ran out of handouts. I wasn't expecting such a great turnout! Thanks to everyone who came.
As promised I have posted a printable version of the
A Slow July
Well, better late than never, here is my review of July--it consisted of more aphid infestation and finally planting the community garden plot (yay!)
Just after ridding my herb boxes of the green aphids that sucked the life out of the dill, a new breed decided to take up
Rooftop Garden: July 1
Things are coming along swell on the rooftop garden. In fact, this is turning out to be my best year ever! The weather has been incredibly hot and dry, and as a result I have been out there religiously watering containers, sometimes as much as twice
the good, the bad, and the really ugly.
I began the season with high spirits, unfortunately, the ugly weather out here has put a cramp in my grand plans. My garden plot is a bog and has subsequently STILL not been planted. I don't know how much longer I can hold out, but the
Herb Fair 2005
Last Sunday marked the annual Ontario Herbalist's Association Herb Fair at Harbourfront. I am pleased to announce that it was also the most successful You Grow Girl Toronto Meetup to date with our best turnout yet!!
Before I go any further I'm just going to come
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
Herb Fair 2004
In keeping with tradition I am posting this year's Herb Fair haul. And in further keeping with tradition I was a complete glutton.
This year I got smart and devised a buggy system that would allow me to carry lots of herbs (that buggy was one of
