Listen to Granny
Growing up with grandparents who
lived on a farm gave me a pretty good education on planting a garden.
I admit that I didn’t
pay much attention to the cotton and soybeans, but seeing that
I really liked vegetables and flowers, I listened to Granny.
She believed in planting by the moon. She told me to put a rusty
nail in the hole when transplanting tomatoes. She put ashes from
the woodfire around roses and dahlias, and she always used newspapers
for weed control. I use her methods and have a very pretty garden.
