Maybe we should set up a home planting/gardening thread somewhere.

This was the first flower I got from my laneway wildflower garden. I have some other orange and yellow ones blooming now, and some Cosmos growing rapidly.

We have one of those, here:

Growing Gardens (flowers and veg etc.)

My garden still isn't quite done....... Today's harvest ( November 4th, 2023): Chives, Chervil ('French Parsley' with a sort of anise flavour) and Portuguese Peppers (a bit undersized, but still nice like this). Not on view, my parsley still putting up new growth and my almost completely...

Tell me how much sun this patch gets? Is it naturally moist? Do you water it regularly?

Interesting location as there is a TTC shelter there that is often occupied by a person who looks homeless plus his Bike Share Bike! Now he will have a more convenient source of bikes!

I keep wanting to believe that they have the data and the know how. But I’m both surprised that this didn’t exist before- a rack outside a large employment centre that was in the middle of nowhere to begin with- and also questioning why we built a parking lot across from the park and didn’t put a rack there.

If parking had the logic of the bike share, we wouldn’t have parking across from street from Biidaasige.

I found that strange myself. They did have a bike rack in that parking lot but not a bikeshare. I keep thinking their had to be a reason but I have this gut feeling it was an afterthought and by the time they realized it was too late to get it in place for the opening of the park. It's just a hunch though.

Is it a TPA lot? Given they operate bikeshare that would be less forgivable
