Gardening Thunder Bay: Christmas Gifts
http://gardenthunderbay.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-gifts.html
The diary of an ever-optimistic Northern Ontario gardener. Sunflowers, Russian Giant. Tallest about 12 foot high. Tuesday, 9 December 2008. Canadian Gardening has an interesting gift list in the current issue. My fav. Is the following: "My dream gift for Christmas would be a young, strapping male with meaty thighs and a willingness to fulfil my every desire—but mostly to dig, dig, dig.". Otherwise, consider the following. 1) A garden bandit or weed looper. 3) A pair of Felcro. Pruners, the best made.

Gardening Thunder Bay: snow, lovely snow
http://gardenthunderbay.blogspot.com/2008/11/snow-lovely-snow.html
The diary of an ever-optimistic Northern Ontario gardener. Sunflowers, Russian Giant. Tallest about 12 foot high. Sunday, 9 November 2008. Snow, lovely snow. A light snow is sifting down. The juncos leave birdy. Tracks on the patio where they are feasting on black oil sunflower seeds. The resident chickadee pecks at the bird cake in its holder. The grey squirrel arrives to steal what it can. A tender plant still holding on to its variegated leaves. And nothing on the mountain ash. Photo by John Izatt.

The diary of an ever-optimistic Northern Ontario gardener. Sunflowers, Russian Giant. Tallest about 12 foot high. Wednesday, 19 November 2008. Cue the snow, cue the storm, cue the howling winds. Now that our gardens are slipping under the snow, it is a good time to take stock of the past year. I congratulate myself on reaching November without a garden injury this year -no bursitis, no bad back, no pulled muscles. In the past, I have not been so lucky. Dr Charles Bryan, a local chiropractor, who has seen...
