Garden's ahoy
Ok, lame title but I've been throwing up for the past 24 hours and deserve a break on the creativity side of things. I have been flipping through seed catalogues during my downtime and I'm getting excited about planning this years garden. I'm pretty sure I posted about Seeds Of Diversity last year but here is the link to all the great seed sales, mostly in BC and Ontario.
In the USA? Seed Savers is also a great organization. I've had a lot of success with their seeds...
and... they have a blog...sweet!
Here is an interesting article about planting according to the moon cycles... if want to give it a go there are lots of places to pick up calenders... just google moon phase gardening.
The farmers almanac sells a 2010 calender with the moon info included.
Sorry this post is so "linky"!!

This is so cool. I hope you post pictures of your garden this spring and summer! I've always wanted to grow a garden, but I'm right in the city. Also, I kill everything I try and grow! Crazy how a person with a passion for urban and community gardens can't make anything grow! My mother, however, can bring practically dead plants to life!
ReplyDeleteOH!! :*( I hope you are feeling better now! I have been looking through seed catalogs as well. Weird thing is, that I am totally into veggies this year...not into flowers. Shaun is going to make me some raised gardens in a "wasted space area" but a sunny spot, in our yard. (I will take pictures)!
ReplyDeleteCool Holly! You are my garden hero, can't wait to see what you can do with food! You should head to a seed sale and see what you can do with some of the heirloom seed varieties!!
ReplyDeletePittsburgh I can totally relate.... I've gone from killing simply ivy plants to trying to produce food for the whole family... It's a learning curve! You should do some container gardening... easy to do tomatoes and can your own sauces etc.!!
Hey Steph, have you ever been to this website? www.yougrowgirl.com. It's a really neat blog about urban gardening here in Ontario.
