Last week I went to a film and discussion series entited "Label Me Confused: What organic, free range, and all those other words really mean" at a local theater. Several organic farmers gathered to discuss the benefits of choosing to eat locally produced and/or organic foods rather

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

How to be greener

I work at a university that has finally decided to develop a "sustainability initiative." Because I am a librarian, I was asked to create a bibliography of resources to enhance our faculty's understanding of the concept and how they might incorporate it into their departments' curricula.

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

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.

Spring and fig advice

Since everyone else is doing their spring updates... Well, it's finally getting to the point where I'm not afraid it's going to snow again up on the hill, so time to think about getting back into the dirt! So far, I have renewed the old garden plot, though I'm

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

Seedy Saturday 2006

I spent the day selling t-shirts and books at the Toronto Seedy Saturday event this weekend. It really is growing bigger and better every year (see a pic here). The aisles were packed with excited gardeners from 10 am on and I got to

The Problem with Seedlings

Uh oh, now I worry that I’ll be giving them a complex. “Problem children? She’s calling us PROBLEMS?? Oh, we’ll show HER problems….grumble…” Oh yes, the seedlings have minds of their own, have no doubt about that. And there’s the crux of the matter….the seedlings are a hard

Ladyfest Guelph

I've been busy over the last few months with a number of workshops and projects but thought I would take a moment to document some of that here before the experiences escape me. I did a workshop called "Grocery Store Gardening" at Ladyfest Guelph back in Sept.

Fall seed saving

Melon season has brought to me a new hobby: seed saving. I know it may surprising, but this has never been a priority for me... This year, however, was different, because over the course of the past month, I have eaten some of the best melons

Hey everyone! Hope the rest of your summer has been going well! As you may or may not recall, things got off to an incredibly slow start this year due to all the rain that we got out west. But, as it's better late than

Everything’s Gone Massive

The more I garden the more clearly I understand that gardening is a continuous learning process. The last few years have been excellent reminders of that. Last year's weather was unseasonably grey, cool, and wet and I had to adjust and strategise to work within those

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

U-Pick Extravaganza

Today was perfect Michigan weather-- probably in the low 80's, with a nice breeze, and very comfortable in the shade, while just hot enough in the sun to make you sweat a little. My friend Jen and I spent a good seven hours in u-pick-land-- although there
