Gardening in the far north can be fun and funky. Monday, February 19, 2007. Design and the Paralysis of Choice. This is the time of year we gardeners are supposed to sit back and happily finish our plans for summer activities. We’ve made drawing, plans and lists. We’ve looked at glossy magazines until our eyes burn. Now we’re planting our dream seeds and resting our bodies for the onslot of summer activity. But wait! Why do I feel so tired? Perhaps, its because my reality is somethin. Fortunately, this t...

Dirt Divas Gardening: Applesauce! Oh Applesauce!

http://dirtdivasgardening.blogspot.com/2007/01/applesauce-oh-applesauce.html

Gardening in the far north can be fun and funky. Sunday, January 14, 2007. For me, winters are incomplete with ou. Winter Apple Sauce (or fall or spring or summer). Core unpealed apples and chop into bit-sized pieces - not too small. Use half red apples and half tart green apples. DO NOT use red or golden delicious. These are nice to look at, but are nasty to eat. They lack the flavor, vitality and body that it takes to make a good apple for sauce (not to mention anything else! Diva One, and Diva Two.

Dirt Divas Gardening: New Year’s Resolutions Aren’t Written in Snow!

http://dirtdivasgardening.blogspot.com/2007/01/new-years-resolutions-arent-written-in.html

Gardening in the far north can be fun and funky. Saturday, January 20, 2007. New Year’s Resolutions Aren’t Written in Snow! There’s nothing like working off holiday food stuffs by digging yourself out of the New Year snow drifts brought to us annually by the comedy team at Mother Nature. Is that a run-on sentence? I’m still trying to get my breath back and think straight after tossing chunks of concrete disguised as snow off my driveway. Actually, half of my driveway is now a legal road. It needs to age.

Dirt Divas Gardening: Musings from the Outhouse Garden

http://dirtdivasgardening.blogspot.com/2007/01/musings-from-outhouse-garden.html

Gardening in the far north can be fun and funky. Friday, January 19, 2007. Musings from the Outhouse Garden. There’s nothing like the cold shock of that first contact with an outhouse toilet seat at twenty below to make one’s mind turn to gardening! The thing is, if your mind is not in its ‘happy place’ it could be a different experience altogether. I don’t suppose one should admit that they use an outdoor privy, but sometimes that’s the way it goes. We live in my grandmoth. Why all this outhouse drivel?

Gardening in the far north can be fun and funky. Monday, November 27, 2006. Oganic beauty good enough to eat. But it’s winter here and pretty cold at the moment.

Along with poinsettias, garlands and Christmas cactus, much can be done to bring the beauty of growing things to our holiday festivities. Artichokes or pomegranates, for example,.
