		<description><![CDATA[This is the first summer of commute gardens: two rented plots in public gardens 3 and 30 miles from my home, respectively. It&#8217;s also the first time I have actively looked into eating weeds &#8212; things I never thought I would grow so successfully. I fully intended to work in each garden on alternating days, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s balcony garden yield (?) included a negligible salad, early and utterly doomed squash blossoms, and initially unwelcome radish flowers &#8212; a bunch of quote-unquote mistakes I have been really thoroughly appreciating.
The salad just kind of happened when my daughter and I were outside on a sunny morning and &#8220;thinning lettuce&#8221; became the spring&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trying to get a clear overview of this past year’s garden is like trying to recreate in the kitchen a meal fantastically dreamed.  I have a hazy overview, a generally very positive impression of events, and a real desire to recreate it, but most of the essential details completely elude me now: I made something [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s late fall here &#8212; the bush beans finally dried a papery tan on the plants so that I could collect some for seed, and we&#8217;re really loving  &#8220;Carnival&#8221; acorn squash from the farmers&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Using the free demo of GardenCAD, this is the plan I drew for my main garden in 2009: A balcony full of greens (lettuce, chard, watercress, and spinach), vegetables, alpine strawberries, and herbs. My balcony faces westward into the condo development&#8217;s front yard, the de facto local dog park. Love dogs, but think it&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seeds contain all the nutrients they need to produce their first set of leaves, so most will sprout happily on a damp paper towel. (Easy, yes; efficient? No!) If you&#8217;re starting seeds indoors in the springtime, there are better ways to get them off to a good start and stave off diseases from the get-go.
