My passionflower vine grew a passionfruit! This may seem like small hat (or other small things) to those of you living in the warm, Southern regions of the world, but it's a BIG deal to a Northern gardener like me. I have Foraging in the City
This article in today's Toronto Star is interesting. It's about people harvesting from neglected or owner-less trees in the city.
It made me think about an apple tree that is sitting off the side of the exit ramp I take every day on my way home from
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
‘Black Pear’ Tomato Inside
Because you asked, here's a photo of the inside of the 'Black Pear' tomato.
I ate another one yesterday afternoon. They really are soft, dense, sweet, and rich. Whether or not they beat out my #1

Update: The first of the next batch has ripened. I had both my neighbour and my spouse do a taste test and we all agree that while it is tasty, it doesn't stand up to the black indeterminates like 'Black Krim' or 'Black Plum'. My final
Cooking, Canning, and Putting Up Food
I've been busy canning and putting up food, so the updates here have been fewer than usual. Anyone notice? After all the labor and love I put into growing my babies, I refuse to let them go to waste. So besides taking baskets to friends, neighbors,
Blackberries
The blackberry bushes have been incredibly prolific at the Community Garden this year. I'd swear the plants have doubled in size, each vine exploding with fat, juicy fruit. I had thought that perhaps our cold winters curbed their invasiveness but I'm starting Pinto Progress
Back at the end of June I was pretty darned excited about the prospect of growing some hard beans in my back yard. I was excited about this for two reasons: first, new gardening experiment = fun; and second, the idea of being able to actually grow
Hanna’s Tomato Tastings 2006
I stumbled across Hanna's Tomato Tastings over at This Garden is Illegal through a link off Renee's site today. Hanna planted 16 different varieties of heirloom tomatoes this year and is undertaking a process to document the fruits of each one. She's got notes on size,
Another Anemone Attempt
I adore Japanese Anemones and when I first started digging in the dirt at our new house last year they were high on my list of plants to get up and running. My grandma has a veritable explosion of them in her yard Entering the Fall Fair
Last year we visited the Uxbridge Fall Fair and I especially enjoyed looking at all the fruits and vegetables that were entered into the fair. I'm thinking of entering this year.
These are the categories I'm considering:

Plantarium
The Gardening Educator in me wants to tell you why products like the Plantarium are not viable tools for growing healthy seedlings. Look for a moment at the product photo. The seedlings inside the vial are very leggy, thin, and weak. ‘Black Pear’ Tomato
I would love to bring you more hard-core gardening experience type information but I am completely emersed in the harvest season and relishing the fruits of my labour. I just ate lunch -- a fried egg sandwich on spelt toast with 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
My first response is a loud string of expletives followed by a very long and drawn, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

I have been in love with my rooftop garden this past month. Every meal includes something picked fresh from the garden that morning - there's a bowl of fresh produce on the 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, 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

The world of gardening containers is a sad carnival of ugly. I grow A LOT of plants, therefore requiring A LOT of pots. Unfortunately, the few stylish containers out there fall outside of a price range affordable to the
