d from the corner store mr kiwi a bustling hub that never closes and now open at last beyond these walls and windows the city is dripping with them their petals chilly today after a very strange week that soared into the nineties before thundering on friday into a storm and dropping to today s high of just below 50 degrees corner stores whenever we think about living somewhere else we think of the things we don t think about like walking around the corner to buy milk at 9pm or our favorite bar soap or organic eggs how is it to get into a car every time you need something i mean we have a car and she is the only thing of value that we own but she is reserved for adventure yes she is a she i posted some of our local ornamental cherry blossoms to gardenista photographed over two days posted

and here i am clearing my camera s memory stick and filing photos that began in february as i walked out of prospect park one dark afternoon i noticed in the failing winter light a flurry of pigeon activity at grand army plaza they flocked around a woman in blue who was feeding them she looked down tenderly at the birds when they perched on her coated arm her electric citibike rental was provisioned with various containers of seeds and when one was was empty she d return to her bag in its basket for more supplies soon all the seed was eaten up i don t like to skulk around stealing pictures of people so before i left i walked up gently and said they love you she smiled shyly hopped back on the bike and sped away zipping south on prospect park west posted by marie at 2 40 00 pm 2

warm slopes the ramps are rising allium tricoccum harbinger of a native spring often the only green thing on the brown forest floor while they can grow wall to wall where they are prolific commercial over harvesting of wild populations has threatened ramps in some locations in the wild i collect a small handful of bulbs and focus instead on the leaves a practise i began hm maybe six years ago and i grow them too in pots where they are remarkably resilient weathering and surviving the brutal freeze thaw that turns many bulbs to mush ____________________ find me on instagram posted by marie at

of earth in front of our building i must measure it i m guessing about two feet by three feet so that s six square feet neat its southern border is the concrete sidewalk some dog owners tend to let their pets linger here as they pass where their stream of pee hits the plants on the frontline their leaves burn salt residue in winter especially the icy one just behind us i began planting it years ago it s the first thing that greets us when we come home between the townhouse steps and the omnipresent trash recycling and compost bins you need to feel good arriving at your doorstep a tiny agastache from the gowanus lowlands nursery now towers by late summer and is a constant theatre of bees mostly native a self sown white snakeroot native ageratina altissima resembles a shrub and does its species name proud i have to cut it back hard to keep the steps to the basement accessible to delivery people who leave parcels there if no one answers the intercoms it blooms in autumn for white weeks the agastache blooms continuously from mid summer to frost sometimes there is fennel sometimes balloon plant that southern african milkweed tall and skinny both there should be native asclepias verticillata too but it hates the dog pee the most but this year last year i planted bulbs too alliums liatris and in existential panic tulips i only plant tulips during trump presidencies apparently the alliums and tulips are up and i have now removed their sheltering fir branches remnants of our christmas tree and i plan to squeeze in more there is about six inches of soil depth nearest the sidewalk the pee zone less towards the rear maybe an african basil because it blooms constantly and bees adore it ____________ find my books posted by marie at 12 41 00 pm 8 comments labels gardening

saturday march 14 2026 inside on the monday after the late february blizzard which was sunday the 22nd into monday the 23rd we walked in the woods of prospect park where all the shrubs and many trees were bent into taught bows by the heavy beautiful relentless snow big trees were down i beat slender spicebush branches free watching them snap upright and i noted broken branches all around the next day i went back armed with sharp felco pruners and wading through more snow to clip the broken arms of forsythia while life was still in them that was over two weeks ago now the budded branches are in bloom also weeks ahead of planted daffodils some now in bud corner store flowers at 5 bunch add bright courage to our lives supper for a friend last night meant spring flowers on every surface real

which i have called certification nowadays when a person lives somewhere in a neighborhood the place is not certified for him more than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood but if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood it becomes possible for him to live for a time at least as a person who is
