Starting

And almost as though to laugh at me in the face in regards to my last post, it has been snowing, snowing, snowing here for approximately four hours today, and sticking to boot. It started just as I had arrived home from buying myself a plastic flat,

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

Toasty Pot Coaster

Like many apartments mine boasts poorly insulated windows and baseboard electric heating. Yep, it's a keeper. With the weather being in the high My Ass is About to Fall Offs I've been scheming ingenius ways to keep the plants that are stuck enduring their fate on

Is It Springtime Yet?

You know you're suffering some major mid-winter gardening itch when you set out to spend a few minutes on a sunny Sunday morning bathing orchids and watering African violets... and then the next thing you know 4 HOURS have passed!! In

Kitchen Birds

One of our cat's favourite things these days is to hover around the sliding glass door in our kitchen and chatter at the birds that feed outside that door. Although I didn't see any birds this morning, I could hear them outside the house somewhere, and Farley

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

Grow-op Set-up

There have been some whispers in the Forums about starting seeds already. Some of the members of You Grow Girl live in areas where it's already the season for growing. Here in Southern Ontario, though, we're still experiencing snow and wind chill warnings. I've

Catalogue Pressure

I gave into a seed catalogue yesterday. It was about time, really, with all the spring-like weather we've been facing. I'd been scanning catalogues bit by bit, but the bad graphics usually turn me off, and ones with stock images don't get a

Winter Growth

The weather has been remarkably warm this winter, so far here in Ontario. Today I was out in the back yard for a few minutes. I just wanted to get some fresh air and it was sunny out and the yard is still fairly green.

Full Disclosure

I think it's important to go against the grain of traditional gardening magazines that focus on hyper-perfect fantasy garden porn and show you that there is no shame in a less-than-perfect garden. Here is a photo of the street garden taken just last week. Keeping up with the

Amateur Phenology

So. Ummmm. Who's a little freaked out by this crazy weather? They say Canada is totally backwards especially for an El Niño year with the west coast all wet and wild and the east unseasonably warm and snow-less. I've heard that things are also a

Affordable Gifts For Gardeners (To Buy)

I'm not one to go nuts with the gardening products since a lot of required gardening materials are either one-time buys (like good shears), tools and containers that can be purchased used, or items that can be fashioned from recycled materials (i.e. plastic water bottles) -- I am

Warm Winter Wear Drive Update

Last week I took 4 boxes of gorgeous, warm, handmade, winter items (and one You Grow Girl book) to The Redwood Women's Shelter here in Toronto. These boxes were the result of this year's You Grow Girl Warm Winter Wear Drive.

Organic Spiced Fruitcake

I have just returned from my local Farmer's Market (which also just happens to be the best Farmer's Market, ever) where I was lucky enough to score a piece of Maria Solakovski's amazing organic Spiced Fruitcake. I've been buying Maria's cake

Plant-Related Holiday Gifts You Can Make

I was just thinking... seems like THE HOLIDAY SEASON is here, or something. I am very good at shutting out that which I would rather not see but with the powers that be pummeling us over the head with it earlier and earlier every year, it's kinda hard

Out of My Element

As I mentioned in an earlier post about turbid water, Vancouver BC (and environs) has been subject to some serious weather lately. November brought us floods, then plenty o'snow, followed by a serious drop in temperature, more snow and now a

It Lives

I've recently become interested in photographing the decaying garden. It started in the spring when I spent an hour photographing a garden while it was still brown but on the verge of exploding into green. I'm starting to appreciate both the garden and nature's seasons on

Reflections on Where I Am

Since moving to Nelson I've discovered many things, not only about small towns, but also just about living in a climate that is pretty much smack dab in the middle of where I grew up, and where I've been living the past five years. I also have no land.

Fall Clean Up: Perfect Timing

This may not seem as remarkable to those of you currently outside of the South Coast of our Canadian shores, but I managed to get in a good three hours of garden clean up this weekend and not get soaking wet. This my friends, almost defies the laws

Container Garden Clean-up

Today was a dry and mild reprieve from the awful cold, wet and sometimes windy late fall weather we've been enduring here in Southern Ontario -- a good day to do some garden work. I have found frozen water in the trays underneath the containers on the
