Documentaries Worth Watching

There are thousands of wonderful documentaries out there and quite honestly the main reason I have a Netflix account is so I can watch as many of them as possible. Here are a few that I've seen in the last few years that I would highly recommend. Almost everything by Michael Moore is also great, but these deal more with our environment and/or food supply!

Blue Gold
Earthlings
Earth 2050
Food, Inc.
GasLand
Homo Toxicus
Petropolis
Super Size Me
Tapped

Beauty of Pollination

I know pollination season is over for this year, but here's what to look forward to next spring... An exceptional video by Louie Schwartzberg showing the beauty of pollination. It was featured in a TED Talk in 2011. Absolutely breathtaking!

Creative Tattoo

Nothing to do with my garden, but saw a random girl sporting this unique tattoo and just had to take a picture of it! I'm really not big on tattoos but this one is absolutely magnificent!!

Fried Green Tomatoes

I have moved to a tiny apartment in Ottawa. My Montreal garden has sadly been laid to rest until next summer. The last thing I remember seeing was the late flourishing of many tomatoes. Very odd for late August. They were still hard and green but it's only a matter of time before they change color. Fried green tomatoes actually taste really great! In the few short days that I had to reap the garden's benefit I was enjoying mint, parsley, spring onions, and jalapenos on almost a daily basis. I wish I could say I can't wait until next spring but there is no guarantee that I'll return to Montreal. In any case, I'll focus on trying to grow some plants indoors and starting a new blog:  http://lessondaily.blogspot.ca/
