Seed-Starting Basics

Seed-starting season is in full swing in these parts. I've been getting loads of questions about it via email and figured it was time to put together a seed-starting recap here on the site. I started my own tomato, pepper, and tomatillo seeds this weekend and put in orders with two seed companies to complete my 2007 Scary Mega Plant List.

Lee Valley Windowsill Seed Starter

Last spring the world aligned in such a way leading to what I can only describe as a collapse in judgement wherein I purchased an actual device to start my seeds in. Firstly, I am a gluttonous gardener and had compiled a frightening collection of seeds to

Seedy Saturday 2007

Another Seedy Saturday has come and gone and as usual I went in with big ideas but didn't quite make it to all the booths. However, this year I can proudly say that I made a list and mostly stuck to it! What's more, most of

It Has Begun… Seeds 2007

Have you started your seeds yet? This has been the most common topic on everyone's mind lately and the question I have been asked most in the last few weeks. People should know by now that I'm a late start. I rarely get my seeds

Windowsill Cozy

Here's the follow-up to last week's Toasty Pot Coaster project. This windowsill warmer is easily crocheted much like coaster using double crochets and shell stitches as a decorative edge. Start by measuring the width and depth of your windowsill.

Ants in my gardening pants

Maggie Wang, forum member and gardening gal, created one of the easiest ways to organize and decipher planting dates by using an Excel Spreadsheet. Gayla posted this chart last year, but its automated style makes it useful for this and years to come. If you, like me,

Seedy Saturdays

It is no secret that Seedy Saturday is by far my very favourite gardening event of the year. It's a great way to trade and purchase local, organic and heirloom seeds and support small gardening and seed suppliers. It is also a turning point in

Lilac FAQs

I saw a comment pop up on an old post of mine from last May about Lilacs that I thought I would pull out and do my best to address here. The comment, or rather question was about a healthy seeming lilac bush that doesn't seem to

$2 Gardening Porn

I want to talk about one of my favourite gardening books. It's called "New Kitchen Garden" by Adam Caplin. I bought it as a bargain book for $9.99 but in all honesty it might would have been worth the original price. (Holy moley, Chapter's

Bulb Tip Sheets

My favourite mail-order bulb folks Botanus have added a "Tip Sheets" section to their website to house PDFs with handy info on various bulb related gardening tasks. The library isn't huge as of yet, though they promise they'll be adding to it. There's a few different

Seed Catalogues MIA

I had intended to write a post about seed catalogue arrivals and all of the exciting new things I want to try this year but so far only two catalogues have arrived (one of which I didn't even order!) with rest of the usual suspects seemingly missing-in-action.

Red Mulch

It's really far too early to start getting supplies or thinking about tomatoes but with the weather outside being in the minus kill-me-nows I can't help but start peaking at the Lee Valley catalogue. I've already decided that I'm going to sacrifice a couple of my

Your Questions Answered: Gift Orchids

A constant stream of questions comes flooding through my inbox on a regular basis. I try and answer as many as I can but it's quite an arduous task. It suddenly occured to me that maybe I should start answering these questions publically where everyone can

A consortium of French environmental groups called L’Alliance pour la Planète / The Alliance for the Planet are calling for as many people as possible to turn out their lights and shut off all electrical appliances for 5 minutes today. This action is meant to acknowledge

If You Can, Plant a Garden

Veggie Garden Ribbon

It's a tad pricey at $13.00 for 2 yards but this fancy-pants woven ribbon from the Cooper Hewitt shop would make fantastic trim on your garden apron. Or maybe use just snip a little piece for a bookmark in your READ MORE...

The 6th Street and Ave B Community Garden, NYC
