the 4-1-1 on the C-O-L: summer garden
http://colleenaferguson.blogspot.com/2010/08/summer-garden.html
The 4-1-1 on the C-O-L. BRINGING IT HOME WHILE I'M OUT ON THE ROAD. Cherry tomatoes and potted things. The funky weather this summer hasn't been great for growing things. The cherry tomatoes were a success, but many things didn't grow as well as I had hoped. Looking forward to fall planting! Ricki from South Africa. Perfect summer evening: flatbread pizza, vino and good company. Time for oils and elephants. Meg Tim Cole Olive.

http://colleenaferguson.blogspot.com/2010/08/soil-compost.html
The 4-1-1 on the C-O-L. BRINGING IT HOME WHILE I'M OUT ON THE ROAD. Hopefully won't have to buy too much more of this. Added this too and some blocks of coconut core for water retention along with worm castings- since everyone thinks they're the absolute ultimate for boosting your soil. Kate gave me a great tip- City of Santa Barbara sells compost buckets for $40 at the dump. Algae and seaweed are great addition if you live by the sea. Your compost will be ready anywhere from 6 wks to 6 months- depending...

After meeting with Rose and compiling ideas between the three of us- I drew a sketch to visualize what we talked about. I met Rose through my friend Lannie. Her name suits her very well- she is lovely and a true garden encyclopedia! 160;She came by to assist in some of the preliminary planning and also answer a bunch of our questions. Here's some tips she gave as well as what's going down in the ground.

http://colleenaferguson.blogspot.com/2009/10/lanterns.html
The 4-1-1 on the C-O-L. BRINGING IT HOME WHILE I'M OUT ON THE ROAD. The garden lantern idea is from Apartment Therapy ( http:/ www.apartmentherapy.com/. A great blog about home design. Meg found these mason jars at the Junk Store in Carp. Loop the wire around the top and make a hook. Fill partway with sand and drop a tea light inside. This sand is kind of special because it's from Hammonds, my favorite place to be in Santa Barbara. Meg Tim Cole Olive.
