Healing with Dandelions

There are a few things I have an abundance of in my garden without trying. They may be familiar to you: dandelions, chickweed and horsetail. And while I curse a blue streak as I remove the horsetail, I can't help but think of my amazing friend Signy each

Square Foot Gardening Review

This year, as I was faced with the task of starting up our veggie garden relatively from scratch, I did a bunch of research into garden design, veggie growing, etc and settled on trying the Square Foot method. I did this for two reasons really. The first

Purple Plum Radishes

I harvested my first batch of 'Purple Plum' radishes this evening from the rooftop garden. I'm growing them in an old wine crate alongside greens.

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

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.

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

End of summer wrap-up

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

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

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

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

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

An Ode to Tigerella

Garden Plot Update

It's time to start posting updates on my gardens before things get too out-of-hand. Over at the community garden plot I dug in some fresh soil amenders and finished planting quite a while back. Thanks to some rain all the

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
