Kiwi Vine in my garden. My new favorite vine
We had a question from a listener today on Let's Talk Gardening. Would you grow food in old tires. This particular listener wants to build a potato tower with tires. I probably wouldn't, but have no experience to back it up. Anyone have thoughts?

Loving my new Janus et cie chair. Unique outdoor furniture
Dafoe Design has recently become the central location for plant exchanges (not sure how that happened!). I have two clients that have the following:
8 - Chestnut seedlings 4" in height - looking for people who want to test their viability in a sunny, expansive location in Calgary (Seedlings taken from 30yr old tree in Edmonton)
100 Irises - Bearded, Arctic, Siberian, etc (grown in Bowness, Calgary)
50 Lilies - Martagon and others (grown in Bowness, Calgary)
If interested, message me and I can get you in touch with these people

Alright, I may have been a bit hasty in the interview with Bill Brooks in the Calgary Herald today. When he asked me what bugs are affecting our plants right now, I emphatically yelled "APHIDS" - obviously showing frustration surrounding my ongoing battle with my Diablo Ninebark. But seriously, is anyone else having this problem?!?

Some would say that cedar is too much work, I say...beautiful... So proud of this one. Can't wait to see it with the Mountain House furniture that has been ordered!
