The rooftop garden is finally set up for outdoor living and the heat has suddenly cranked up, which means it's summer drink time. I've taken to making up bright red batches of roselle, aka sorrel (not Spring Ramps
Ramps, aka wild leeks, are a wild North American onion-like plant that pop up in forested areas in early-mid spring. The season for ramps is short, typically no more than a few weeks between April and The Annual, All That Money I Spent at the Parkdale Horticultural Society Plant Sale, 2009 Edition
The title says it all. Although, taking the Street Garden out of the picture this year significantly reduced the opportunity to spend more. I could completely disregard most flowers, bushes, or bedding plants, focusing instead of Experiments in Garlic Growing
Before I begin, a confession: I did not plant garlic last fall. You are horrified. You are storming away from this website in horror.
Allow me to explain / make excuses. I managed to harvest Together, Let’s Fight the Spread of Invasive Garlic Mustard (and Eat it Too)
Another spring and a new crop of garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is setting up camp for the season. We found a few small plants in the street garden cleanup last week and several at the community More Reasons Why I Don’t Grow Edibles in My Street Garden
The snow has melted and it is time to take stock of what has accumulated in the street garden since the fall. In my neighborhood, gentrification is running rampant like a pack of drunken college kids Let’s Start a Community Garden
I've been getting a lot of questions recently from people looking to start a community garden in their neighborhood. What I've included below is by no means a definitive guide, since there are lots of publications on Growing Food on a Windowsill - Microgreens
Winter is slowly coming to an end around here and it is nearly time to start lettuce outdoors. Until then I've been growing and harvesting small batches of micro-sized greens on my windowsill as a way Fondling the Beans
Whenever I get a new pack of bean seeds I am always immediately compelled to open up the packet and inspect the beans. I used to play out this ritual with all seeds but years of seed Overwintering ‘Oregano’ Thyme
Over the years I've made an experiment of trying out new plants to overwinter on my windowsills. These experiments keep me amused over the winter months and provide the first-hand experience with specific varieties required to The Impending Arrival of Seed Starting Season
Seed starting season is just around the corner. It happens every year and every year I yell to no one and everyone that I'm not ready and could I please just have another day or a week, but it comes anyways. Shifting My Worm Bin
My composting worms are housed in an average-sized bin that we keep in the hallway just outside our apartment door. This spot next to the recycling bin is great three out of four seasons of the A Hazy Shade of December
For a long list of reasons -- many of which I am still in therapy for -- I've just never been a fan of THE HOLIDAYS. This is why there has always been a distinct lack of Warm Winter Wear Drive 2008 Reminder
Just a reminder that the date to get your items shipped out is approaching. I originally said Dec 1 but have decided to give it until Dec 5 because I have been so behind in answering No Garlic
I think it's time to let it go and accept the inevitable... that garlic is not going to get into the ground this year. I'm already a month late. Thankfully I predicted this would happen Local Food Trees
Butternuts
I'd like to think I've accumulated a lot of plant knowledge over the years, but my tree knowledge is embarrassingly thin. It's all down to the fact that I don't have anywhere to plant and grow one. Warm Winter Wear Drive 2008
Winter is approaching (NOOOOOOOOO!!!) and it is actually starting to get cold out there. Real cold. I have worn hand warmers while walking. Soon it will be full mittens or gloves. Biking now requires a woolen hat that can cover the ears. The horror.
Saving Seeds and Making Pickles
Greetings from the hermit's nest where I am working feverishly, both figuratively and unfortunately quite literally through what I can only describe as a marathon of deadlines. This summer has revolved 100% around gardening and food, a My Brother’s Garden
Hey Internet,
Remember when I helped my brother make a container garden on his balcony? Behold, it LIVES!
He's done really, really well for someone with Give Me Tomatoes

I LOVE tomatoes. If I had to give up growing all other crops and choose just one I would probably choose tomatoes although basil
