Get your free compost on Queens Quay Saturday (reminder)



Tomorrow, bright and early, bring your buckets and kitchen gloves cause the city is giving away free compost at Little Norway Park (at Bathurst and Queens Quay. )

Okay, okay, you may ask, what the hell am I going to plant in condo land? Well, may we suggest that you, like this good writer, invest in some balcony planters. Nothing like growing some basil or chives that you can snip while you're cooking and add to your culinary creations. You can pick up planters up at the Canadian Tire at Eaton Centre, the Loblaws on Queens Quay or, well, other random places. The outside Saturday market at St. Lawrence Market sells herbs you can plant and the Loblaws has a good collection of flowers and other plants you can buy closer to Victoria Day weekend.

In the meantime, happy planting.
