You too can begin your garden now (where now equals planning and ordering but not necessarily planting since I don't know where you live and what you're planting!), and I cannot recommend the Bountiful Container more strongly. This book has proved so useful time and time again, and I constantly return to its pages for the handholding that I, a novice green thumb, require.

Oy 06/12/2004 12:00 AM USA Today Jun 12 2004 3:06AM GMT Bloggercon ahoyBloggercon ahoy 09/22/2004 02:23 PM I spoke at the first Bloggercon last year and enjoyed it. Missed the second one last spring. Dave Winer asked me to moderate a discussion at the next one, on Nov. 6 at Stanford, and I was game. The topic is the next phase of the continuing dialogue on blogging and journalism. The previous discussions led by Ed Cone and Jay Rosen set high standards I'll aim to match. I've been a pro journalist for 20 years but I've always been on one fringe or another -- first, as a writer for an alternative weekly; then, as a theater critic on the "wrong" coast, writing for the underdog afternoon paper here in San Francisco; then, as a migrant from the print world to the Web, here at Salon; most recently, as a pro editor turned blogger. Since I started my publishing career in my teens cranking out mimeographed Diplomacy and Dungeons & Dragons magazines in my basement, the new world of self-publishing makes me feel right at home. I'll do my best to steer us out of the shallow familiar waters (is
blogging journalism? Of course! Much of the time, anyway) and toward
what I feel are the more challenging questions about journalists' and
bloggers' symbiotic relationship. I've tried to lay some of them out
here. Feel
free to join the discussion over on the Bloggercon site, or at the
event, or right here. Say Ahoy to Big ProfitsSay Ahoy to Big Profits 09/17/2004 02:33 PM Bulk shipping company Excel Maritime increases profits by 338% and rockets ahead on the AMEX. Googlers, ahoy!Googlers, ahoy! 04/28/2004 06:03 AM I don't usually comment on the Google keywords people use to arrive on this site, but about these two (from a single IP within five minutes from each other) I gotta say something: "una ble to form relationships", and "dealing with being ugly". Hell, what can I say? You should start blogging. It is sometimes easier to write to an invisible audience (even though consciously, you know people out there read your blog) than taking up personal issues with friends, relatives or casual acquaintance. It's like a free, bad shrink that just listens and provides no answers. But it does help. The value of the blogs is that it allows different voices to bloom, and find their audience. T his article about dating and blogging says it in the simplest possible terms:

The first is that we're looking for someone who is an absolute car nut -- someone like me, but who actually follows the whole industry, not just the part where you crash them into walls -- and who knows how to blog, play nice with others, and write fantastic dick jokes (Choire says that's optional, but I know the truth). If you're interested, send an email with a writing sample (or even better, a link to your blog) to Choire@Google mail. The other opportunity is on Gizmodo, and I'll talk about it after the jump.

A few photos from a trip to the Helsinki Winter Garden just before Easter. The garden is enclosed in a Victorian era greenhouse and hosts quite a nice succulent room, palm room and room for various seasonal plants. Easter brings little baby chicks to the Win ter Garden that little kids press their faces up to the glass to watch intently as they cheep and hop around. Tulips and daffodils also add a splash of colour to the landscape inside the green canopy. It's free to visit during its rather limited hours of operation and the outdoor garden is beautiful during the summer when the flowers are in bloom. It reminds me a lot of the Jewel Box, an art deco conservatory, and Tower Grove Park, a Victorian walking park, in St. Louis quite a bit since they were all built during a time that building public gardens for all people to enjoy was popular. I still miss living next to Tower Grove Park as it was one of the most beautiful spots in the city.

He wrote Four-Season Harvest, a lovely and remarkable book about year-round gardening in snowy climates. (You definitely want to look at the drawings.) Even in the middle of January, he's harvesting fresh salad greens and sweet carrots from old-fashioned cold frames. Coleman relies on low-tech solar heating and cold-tolerant vegetables.

Now it
doesn't get much easier than growing fresh herbs, but I still totally
dig these 'Garden-in-a-Bag' kits from Wishing Fish, which provide the
dirt, nutrients, and seeds you need to grow herbs and plants right out
of the packaging. Pop them open and add water and it won't be long
before you have a believable excuse about why your entire office
smells like chives.
