I’m excited to announce that I will be writing a seasonal edible gardening column for The Globe & Mail that will be published most Saturdays in the Style/Life Section of the paper from now until fall. The first, introductory article was published today and is available for free viewing for a limited time on The Globe & Mail website.
It’s not too late to get started growing an edible summer bounty!
That’s so awesome!!!
Oh, fantastic, Gayla. Congratulations!
Congratulations, that’s great.
Congratulations Gayla!
Congratulations! Wonder if any of our Australian libraries has a subscription…
Congratulations Gayla! Most exciting.
awesome! and you look hot!
Hooray!! Congrats!
Congratulations! =B0)
Congratulations! I’m so excited for you! I look forward to reading your column! I’m really happy that the word is spreading about backyard farming.
Gayla – very exciting and I enjoyed your article. I’m starting some containers this summer to teach my 2 year old where food comes from… we always had a garden growing up (my parents still do) so I couldn’t imagine my daughter not having the same benefits. Hopefully others with kiddies pick up on this in your article too!
Excellent! I am a regular G&M reader, but live in the sticks. Will your column always appear in the online edition as well?

Great news, congrats!
CONGRATULATIONS!
I’m in the states, but I’m definitely going to following along!
I’m such a big fan. Since reading your column, I’ve started vermicomposting and my first vegetable garden. I owe my first harvest you you! Kale, lettuce, swiss chard, lemon cucumbers, sweet dakota rose watermelon, black krim tomatotes, and zapotec tomatoes!!
I’m so excited– even if I do have to brave suburban hoodlums (racoons)!
Best,
phd
Thanks so much for all of your warm wishes.
phd: We’ve got 2 raccoon visitors this year.
Erin: I think it will be online when it is published in the paper, but I believe they archive the online material after a certain # of weeks.
just finished reading your first column very interesting overview .i know you’ll be getting into more detail and specific’s in future column’s.look forward to reading more (online i hope as we don’t get The Globe and Mail).
*LOL* Your Globe coverage beats mine by a long shot!
What a great article! This article, plus my boyfriend reminding me that I sounded depressed every time I talked about not starting a garden this year, made me realized that I needed my garden. I grow one every year, usually a few herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach and peppers. I had decided to skip this year because of several reasons that don’t seem so powerful right now.
I read this article a couple of days ago. I got a tomato plant yesterday–yes, just one, silly I know, but I fell so good when I look at it. I also planted golden thyme, rosemary, and started some spinach and lettuce on my windowsill. I know is not much, but it’s mine and I love it!
Gayla,
I love your approach to gardening and your “anyone can do it anywhere” attitude. I am sending a link to your website to my daughter who moved to TO from Vancouver last year and has to live in an apartment. Fortunately it has a balcony where she can grow stuff in pots.
Just one small request: dont call soil “dirt”.
Donna: Yes, I do know the difference, and yes, I do know that soil is “proper”; however, I’m sorry but I reserve the right to continue to use “dirt.”
Loving your weekly column… Congratulations on landing an excellent gig!
I followed a link to your site from garden rant and am I ever glad. I like what you have to say and how you say it. Congratulations on your newspaper gig. I hope they appreciate what they’ve landed. I almost cancelled my subscription to our local (Virginia) paper 6 years ago when the garden writer “decided” to stop. I started reading online news, then blogs, as “our” paper further declined. Sunday’s paper went from the wraper to the recycling bin with barely a glance. If newspapers truely cover local events, as they claim to do, a good garden column is essential. Don’t know how things are in your neck of the woods, but down here box stores seem to dictate what gets in the news.
