		<title>Great Garlic!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In February of 2008 (that&#8217;s about 15 months ago!) I decided to plant garlic. Instead of taking the traditional route, where I&#8217;d go buy seed, or starter cloves from the garden store, I decided to go to the local co-op, and just buy some organic garlic and break up the cloves myself. Garlic from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The First Pickles of 2009&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, in preparation for next Saturday&#8217;s Block Sale, I canned kosher dill pickles, and since the canner was hot, I made 5 quarts of pickled veggie mix, too &#8211; something of a California Mix. Now, I know they sell that &#8220;California Mix&#8221; in the stores, but it is, quite frankly, nasty. But, my version is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Basil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fresh herbs are one of the best things about a backyard garden.  The freshness, the flavors.   There are some that are hardy and last year after year, and then there is basil.
In this cool Pacific Northwest it is still too early for basil.  However it is one of my garden staples so I start it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seedlings!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March is the unkindest month here in the Pacific Northwest. Day to day one never knows what to expect of the weather. After having spent time in February cleaning beds and tidying up, March comes along and suggests that it&#8217;s time to start some planting outside, and to start those seedlings indoors for late April [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In September of 2007 my partner and I purchased a home in Tacoma, Washington, and left our garden behind in Seattle.  Thankfully, my good friend Les moved into our house in Seattle and resumed care of the garden.  We moved to a larger slice of paradise located in the very southern tip of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting a jump on Springtime&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, as I was reading the news, I ran across the weather forecast and it said to expect snow. “Snow? Seriously?” was my audible gasp that echoed through the house. But, after a moment to collect myself, I remembered that it is indeed only February, and that there were still 24 days remaining until it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring &amp; Peas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thats right, the beginning of the garden season.  There is a point in winter where the cold and dark are just tiring to the soul and all I can think of is my spring garden.  But February, a full month before Spring before most anything else goes in are the peas.  The initial hope for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inspiration from Monet&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In September of 2008, I had the great opportunity to visit Paris and Giverny. My travelling companion and I went, essentially, for two reasons &#8211; to eat and relax&#8230; and we did both in great quantities.
One of the most amazing places we visited was a small town called Giverny, about an hour northwest of Paris. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a difference a day makes&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[President&#8217;s Day garden cleanup!
Okay, so I have to confess.
I cheated a bit.
I hired people to help clear the beds &#8211; and it was well worth it! If you find yourself needing some help &#8211; hire Jimmy Eager at Achlys Gardens &#8211; http://www.achlysgardens.com/ Check out his site &#8211; he&#8217;s a genius.
