What's growing in your #toronto #garden? I spent a few hours yesterday at my garden plot picking gooseberries, raspberries, yellow beans, chard & lettuce yesterday. Also brought in the last of the day lilies (yes, mixed in with that terrible creeping bellflower). #gardening #urbanfarm
Two more gardens I visited during #Scarborough Garden & Horticultural Society's #garden tour. I particularly enjoy seeing how folks grow vegetables. Lots of tips & tricks to keeping the 'coons away! And look at the size of that container zucchini plant!!! #urbanfarm #bloomscrolling #flowers #toronto
Still a bit of a novelty to use the #crosstown LRT. I'm headed to the garden plot and took a few snaps at Mount Dennis. Normally cycle to the plot, but not today with air quality so bad. #ttc #toronto #trains
Haven't done a #garden tour for years, but went on one recently, hosted by the #Scarborough Garden & Horticultural Society. Got a $15 early-bird ticket for the self-guided, 8 garden tour, followed by a garden tea. So much fun & the gardens were extremely varied! #bloomscrolling #flowers #toronto
Kudos to Dismount on St. Clair Ave West for the thorough tune-up and nice green handlebar tape on my urbanite! Great place if you don't know them #biketo, including fun group rides on Wednesday nights. Had to mask up to get down and home on this apocalyptic day of #smoke and #pollution in #toronto.
Here are two for you @torontoboris.bsky.social... a Z28 and Thunderbird, parked on my street here in midtown. #carspotting #toronto
Bike Party! Thank you @bikepartytoronto.bsky.social #biketo #toronto
Heading to the island by bike & boat. I don't plan to fly from the island any time soon, despite using it on many past occasions. Passenger revenues are down. It's a sunk costs bias to throw money at it. No report shows otherwise. #bikeTO #NoJetsTO #toronto #cycling #waterfront
Spent time along #toronto waterfront yesterday. Dead set against an island airport expansion. Please everyone, do the survey, in good faith it's an objective consultation. #NoJetsTO #ONpoli #TOpoli tc.canada.ca/en/corporate... @lesliechurch.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social @mayoroliviachow.ca
Cycled to the #garden plot & picked some rhubarb. On my way home, explored an #alleyway with #streetart. East of Lansdowne, Dupont & Davenport have construction, making #cycling less safe than usual. Didn't feel like detouring down to Bloor. The #art made it a better outing. #bikeTO #toronto #TOpoli
Fighting Ford at Queen's Park, where he shouldn't be allowed to cast a shadow, such a corrupt schmuck, along with the MPPs who are working with him. Rotten to the core. #fightford #fordfailedontario #ONpoli #TOpoli #Greenbeltscandal
