From a Worcester Allotment: Storing vegetables for the winter
http://worcsterallotment.blogspot.com/2010/11/storing-vegetables-for-winter.html
Saturday, 6 November 2010. Storing vegetables for the winter. Storing Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, parsnip and beetroot can be a bit of a headache if, like us, you have grown far too many. Hessian sacks are useful, hung from hooks in the garden shed, they even smell good and traditional. Generations of gardeners have layered harvested roots in sand or compost in small dustbins. Indeed, all stored vegetables should be protected from freezing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some good news for...

From a Worcester Allotment
http://worcsterallotment.blogspot.com/2012/03/some-good-news-for-worcester-allotment.html
Tuesday, 13 March 2012. Some good news for Worcester allotment holders, I hear from Dan Robb the Site Rep of Droitwich Rd, Allotment site that the council have come to their senses and dropped all charges for tunnels and sheds, something which he has fought vigorously against. Well done Dan, we paid for 2 poly-tunnels this year and I was seriously thinking about taking them down altogether, and I know that others in Worcester were thinking the same way as well. 26 March 2012 at 08:53.

From a Worcester Allotment: Genetically Modified Foods
http://worcsterallotment.blogspot.com/2012/03/genetically-modified-foods.html
Friday, 9 March 2012. Genetically Modified Organisms have been in our food chain for about 20 years, but most people aren’t aware, or for that matter, don’t know, what GMO foods are. Foods that are genetically modified are created in a laboratory by splicing genes from one organism into another. Other independent studies concluded that testing done on laboratory animals fed GMO foods showed organ damage, low birth weights, infertility, and in some cases, death.

Cannas and Bananas: Creating a Bold Garden: July 2010

Cannas and Bananas: Creating a Bold Garden. Kim's adventures transforming her suburban yard from blah to bold. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. By Gardening in a Minute. So the ensete is still hanging on. I wish that it looked as good as this one that I saw at Plant Delights Nursery last year, but ultimately I think its days are probably numbered. I think I'll probably have to add it to the tally of "plants I've killed" before summer is over. Posted by Kim Kruse. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Gardening in a Minute.

Cannas and Bananas: Creating a Bold Garden. Kim's adventures transforming her suburban yard from blah to bold. Plants to drool over, part III. Monday, April 12, 2010. Welcome to the third and final post about the cool plants I saw at the 2009 Garden Writers Association conference! This time I'll be recapping what we saw at the JC Raulston Arboretum. Emily and I officially started our tour looking at some of the trees, including this cool magnolia. Can you believe that it has variegated leaves? This orang...

Cannas and Bananas: Creating a Bold Garden. Kim's adventures transforming her suburban yard from blah to bold. Saturday, February 26, 2011. One of my succulents has been looking pretty shabby for awhile now. I figured it was probably the result of cold damage. But today I hatched another theory. Do you see these? ALL of these snails came out of that one pot, and I'm guessing there were probably more that I missed. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone. Posted by Kim Kruse. Thursday, February 17, 2011.

Cannas and Bananas: Creating a Bold Garden: Lovely spring
http://cannasandbananas.blogspot.com/2011/03/lovely-spring.html
Cannas and Bananas: Creating a Bold Garden. Kim's adventures transforming her suburban yard from blah to bold. Thursday, March 24, 2011. We have had one of the loveliest springs that I've ever seen. I guess it's because we had a consistent stretch of consistent cold and then a gradual warming up, rather than the cold/hot/cold that we've had in other years. All of the flowering trees and shrubs are blooming their hearts out. I just adore this Chionanthus virginicus. Outside my husband's office.

It's been awhile since I posted. Here's the quick update on the seedlings. A good number of them survived, despite the fact that I neglected to transplant most of them out of their six-packs. That my husband set up. I seriously love that man. Busy with other things and don't like the maintenance involved. That being sai...

Cannas and Bananas: Creating a Bold Garden. Kim's adventures transforming her suburban yard from blah to bold. Friday, June 18, 2010. Originally uploaded by sassycrafter. Well, it looks like I was right. My beautiful ensete is dying. This is what it looked like after I came home from my out-of-town conference this week. Definitely not good. If that's the case, I'm thinking that my best bet would be to get a nematode assay. Done before I plant another ensete in the same spot. Posted by Kim Kruse. But back...
