California Giants

I'm currently in Northern California for the Blogher Conference. I've been to these parts once before but the massiveness of the plants, most especially the invasives really stand out this time. Monster Nasturtiums

I assumed this patch of renegade nasturtiums was a random fluke.

Growing More-erer Food

Because I am afflicted with the disease commonly known as "Can't-Walk-Past-Plants, Most-Especially-Plants-on-Sale"-itis and because an entire kitchen garden that was non-existent a few days ago doesn't seem to be enough today; I done went and bought me some pathetic-looking transplants. But wait, they were only fifty cents!

Project “Grow More Food”

It's time for me to face the cold, hard truth; my plot at The Parkdale Community Beer Garden is officially crap for growing veggies. With every new year I have found that while my soil continues to improve, the light on my tiny plot has been slowly

Versus the Squirrels (Part 2)

Well it turns out that the squirrels just up and left of their own accord. I have no idea why they would want to leave considering the cornucopia of delights waiting just outside their front door, but I'm not about to complain. And with their

Feed Them to the Squirrels

Gardening is all about experimentation and adaptability. You can try and lock down a "method" but nature has its own ideas. Every gardening season is different for one reason or another. Often times it's large and subtle differences in the weather. Some years it's a

The Aliens Have Landed

I did a bit of houseplant repotting yesterday afternoon, a chore that is sadly neglected at this time of year in favour of outdoor gardening tasks. But I have a shakey reputation to uphold and had reached the point where I no longer wanted people to come

Musings on Plants

Today I was eyeing the plants at my grocery store. We all know not to ever expect much from the grocery store plants, as they're usually completely neglected, dry, and limp looking if not half (or totally) dead. However, the grocery store plants are the closest

Plant Sales - Mark Your Calendars

I hate to be so Toronto-centric but there are a number of local and very good plant sales coming up that ya'll should know about. They're more bang for your buck, the experience is fun, and often times the haul is of better quality than your typical

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

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

Spring? In January?

It all started last week. On my way to work I noticed a dogwood tree, and the very beginning of some blossoms. I thought to myself, no way, my eyes are fooling me! I live in a warm climate, but it's only the second week

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

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
