It’s time for another edition of Name That Mystery Plant! Readers were able to help me identify a Cornelian Cherry in NYC, a nightshade in my garden, and possibly the mystery yellow tomato I got at a plant swap (though I still think the tomatoes were too big to be yellow pears). This weekend out [...]

I’m back in DC after taking part in my beautiful friend’s beautiful wedding. Congratulations to Cailin and Jim! When I wasn’t at the festivities, I took myself on a little tour of various green spaces in Manhattan. I’ll write about some of them in the coming days. But first up, I am really hoping that [...]

I stopped by my plot on Tuesday after work to do a little weeding and watering. I also thought there would be some strawberries and peas to pick.
