We just got back from watching the rise from the highest point in Hillsborough County. It was spectacular... first red then gold. On the way home the moon glow over Lake Thonotosassa was wonderful, too.

Sometimes you just have to take a pause and drink it all in....

Just been taking a look. I am always glad there are no street lights nearby, the moon is so bright in a dark sky! Even with pretty weak binoculars it is spectacular with all its craters. Truly awesome!

Lovely picture, Lilo. Our area has just gone thru a severe thunderstorm w/ possibility of a tornado. This is the second one in a week, and there actually was a tornado that touched down in that one--verified by The National Weather Service. The only 'safe' place in our house would be our walk-in master closet. It's in the middle of the house with no windows, nearby. Talk about crazy weather!

Gardengal, Have you ever lived anywhere other than the PNW? The rub is that things DON'T perform equally as well in other places. Its not just about temperatures, either. The angle of the sun is much more intense here in the South. Where you are, the sun's rays are more oblique in their angle. I was in Seattle 2 weeks ago and it is noticeably so. A lot of things fry to a crisp down here that you can plop down in full sun up there. And then there is that horrible period in the summer where the temps are in the 90s-100s and the humidity is about the same - and it stays that way all day AND night! No relief! We call them the "dog days" of summer. Many plants give up the ghost in these conditions. Regards, K4 P.S. The owner of Whitney Gardens gave me the advice on not fertilizing A.s. 'Full Moon'. They've grown some stunning plants for many many years there, so I've taken her advice to heart. Mine is doing well on garden dirt, mulch, and no fert. :)

I am very happy to hear, I am not alone. My Rachel was a big pain all night long. She yowled, and then she jumped on hubby and ran back and forth on him, until he shut her out. She never comes near the bedroom at night, and is a very quiet cat normally, so it was competely out of character for her. The older cat is the troublemaker of the 2, and she was silent all night, which is not normal for her at all. Oh and yes, Rachel pooped on the bathroom rug. She is over 10 yrs old, and has never done this in all her years.

Doubt singing, probably howlin'! Huahauahua! And Monarchs returning to Mexico after having been born here in America is something I haven't been able to figure out, it has to be something like following a pheromone trail or similar... Other migrations, like birds, are taught... Can't fathom the thought of being born with an instinct to go to a specific spot to overwinter, can anyone elucidate me?

Was just reading about planting by phases of the moon and signs of the zodiac, as in the Old Farmers Almanac. I remember my grandparents (farmers in rural Alabama) put a lot of stock in this. Anyone a believer? I read that one theory is that during a full moon the slightly increased gravity (as illustrated by the highest ocean tides) pulls more water into plants. Interesting.

I plant by the moon in a very lackadaisical way. I like having a ritual aspect in my joyful endeavors.

Basically, I plant on the waxing moon and do infrastructure and such on the waning moon. Things usually are very busy around here just before the full moon. Due to procrastination, dont cha know...

My Dad grew survival crops in his youth and learned from his Grandmother. They were in West Virginia and they planted by the moon, too.
