Re: What's in your garden? - charlie - 05-21-2010 So darn glad I don't have a thing planted out, just some things that are still in the pots and I just move them as necessary. Next week will be the push to get something really going in the garden. Re: What's in your garden? - Tia - 05-21-2010 I covered. Last time it got to my peppers anyway and they still haven't really recovered. The tomatoes not so bad. One even has flowers. Let's hope my coverings are more effective this time.

Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes, Long as I have my plastic Jesus Riding on the dashboard of my car Through all trials and tribulations, We will travel every nation, With my plastic Jesus I'll go far. Re: What's in your garden? - TooAnxious - 05-22-2010 reelo Wrote:Actually Demerter usually got the first fruits of the harvest Yes, in real mythology. However, I'm talking about all of those weird "fertility cult" movies. You know the kind. A family moves into a weird little isolated New England village or onto a pristine English island where the people appear to be living in the past. The wife gets sucked into the local women's "organization." Pretty soon all the women are running around naked with corn husk dolls and flower wreaths on their heads and some guy ends up a human sacrifice to make the corn grow. I think a Tom Tryon book with that plot was made into a movie where the women were all processing into the corn field chanting "Da-Da-Demeter" or something like that. I like those movies!

Re: What's in your garden? - reelo - 05-22-2010 I can't say anything, those cheesy movies are the reason I got interested in studying mythology to begin with Of course, some of the best are the plain old Salem witch ones that go horribly, horribly wrong (i.e. The Devonsville Terror but only because I like heads exploding like watermelongs near Galagher). My starts just broke the soil, hopefully the weather will mellow out (and the hubby will do his rototilling) so I can get them in the ground in the next week or so.

If you like Salem witch stuff, you might enjoy the mystery novel, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe. The author is completing her Ph.D. dissertation in American and New England Studies and (as the notes on the back of the book indicate) she "is a descendant of Elizabeth Proctor, who survived the Salem witch trials, and Elizabeth Howe, who did not." No heads exploding, but she offers an interesting perspective on the issue in the context of a fairly well-written novel. I picked it up from the "buy 2 get 1 free" table at Barnes and Noble along with another myth-based mystery that takes place in Iceland called My Soul to Take, written by Yrsa Sigurdardóttir. Abandoned ghost babies in that one. (Hey, I need some totally pointless relief from the academic crap!) And, to keep this in the context of the thread title . . . Howe's novel talks about some very interesting plants growing in the garden of the mystery house. Re: What's in your garden? - orygunluvr - 05-22-2010 In my garden right now are white buckets and a few black plastic pots. All covering tomatoes and some other various starts from the dreaded global warming we are supposed to have tonight. Other than that there is 2 types of kale, different salad greens, 4 types of onions, carrots, pea pods, mini cantaloupes, zucchini, cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, 2 types of sunflowers randomly placed for color and to attract bees, cherry maters, sun gold maters, 1 rainbow mater, ace maters, 1 brandywime mater and, and will be adding some beef steak and roma maters next week, and also will be adding at least 1 type of basil. Re: What's in your garden? - cletus1 - 05-23-2010 My garden survived another night. I planted less green beans and cucumbers this year. I also planted some new stuff including Mini Maui sweet onions and a variety of yams. The directions on the yam and sweet potato starts say to mound up soil around the plants as they grow leaving only around 12 inches of vines above the surface. We shall see how that works. Re: What's in your garden? - TennisMom - 05-24-2010 We put up some poles in anticipation of the Pole Beans growing up them. Also put in some bush beans, two kinds of scallions, some lettuce and turnips. Tomorrow the DH is going to get several types of tomatoes and some peppers which we'll plant. Those things don't do too well from seed, apparently. Not that I know anything about this. BUT. I know more than my daughter, who dug holes and poured the entire contents of the seed packets into each one. She thinks she's a big shot because her lettuce is huge. HAH. She'll have to thin it out, 'cause it's one big clump. I wonder if the wind blew down the poles... We better go check at the community plot.

Re: What's in your garden? - Cometmom - 05-24-2010 As of Sunday, my garden plot has no weeds. It's a start. Re: What's in your garden? - Tia - 05-24-2010 I've got millions of cherry tomato volunteers coming up....what to do???
