There are a lot of Canada Geese here in Toronto.

One of the best places to see them, and feed them if you’d like to is down in the Beach area. Ashbridges bay has boat docks and a nice little park with paths that wander along the shore line and you can see ducks, and geese and even the occasional swan in that area year round. Of course you have to be careful where you walk because geese uhm … poop a lot. I believe I heard a report that they go every 2 minutes!

This site isn’t official part of the Saturday Photo scavenger Hunt but I’ll applying to have this site added today. I may not be able to fit the theme in every week if it really doesn’t fit this blog but we’ll see how it goes. I should have done this earlier.

Favorite garden books?

by Tricia

I have a stack of gardening books that I keep handy in my living room.

I delve into the books for information to put into this blog or whenever I’m looking up a new plant and want to learn all about it before purchasing it, or in most cases after I’ve purchased it. Yes I’m an impulse plant purchaser.

I was wondering what kinds of gardening books my readers have at home? Here’s a list of what I have on hand:

  • Botanica’s Pocket – Annuals & Perennials
  • Ortho’s All about Azaleas, Camellias & Rhododendrons
  • 500 Popular Roses
  • 100 Easy to Grow native Plants for Canadian Gardens
  • The complete book of Garden Flowers
  • Readers Digest Illustrated Guide to Gardening in Canada
  • Complete Guide to Gardening (Better Homes and Gardens)
  • Botanica – The illustrated A-Z of over 10,000 plants

I think I’ve got a good start to my collection. What do you have that I should be sure to get for myself?
