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

Overflowing, Amanda style

Long awaited update. At least I've been waiting, not sure about anyone else. I tend to do things full force or not at all-- gardening is much the same for me, and I use it as a sort of practice in doing things small and

Did I Mention It’s Hot?

This has been the hottest, driest summer I can remember in a while. It has been raining around the perimeter of the city on a fairly regular basis, however it has been dry as a bone in my area since June 13! The weather has

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

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

Seedlings’ Big Day!

There comes a time in every seedling’s life when it must leave the safety of the nest for the cold, harsh world outside. Now, I’ve been reluctant to get to this point, having been sufficiently scarred from last year’s fiasco, where monsoon rains rolled in EVERY TIME I

I’m in love, I’m in love!

I’m sure some of you know that feeling, when you just can’t pull your eyes away, and you feel the constant need to touch and stroke and caress. Marveling at the beauty and perfection that belongs to you and only you, that needs you as much as you

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

Epiphytic Cactus (Hatiora)

Wow. It's been so long since I last posted. I have been sitting on this for a while wondering where to start so I think I'll just start with yesterday. I bought a new plant! Whenever I pass by "Poppies", my favourite local

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
