I hear we are in for up to 30 cm of snow over the next two days.

An enabling site for the horticulturally obsessed. Life around my urban plot is green! (except in the middle of winter in Canadian zone 5a then it's mostly sludgy brown and white.)
What's going on in the garden?
Updated Sept 9 - the pest report
My cabbage was attacked by head rot because some of them split though most of the Mammath red rock was a-ok. Carrots have some bite marks but the beets look and taste fab. My alliums were raded by leek moth which not surprisingly nabbed all the leeks and left the perennial onions sparse. Garlic chives were more or less unaffected. This is the fourth year running that the chinese lanterns have kept the colorado potato beetle away from my solanums and I saw nary a cucumber beetle this year but then again I was away.
Do I have hortiphilia?
Worried that you may be afflicted?

That lion of a storm dumped snow and ice on the Quinte region as well. I'm waiting for the lamb to come hopping into our area.
