A Seed Saver's Garden

The garlic you sent me is up, too!
MANY THANKS for growing so much!

Yummy yummy in our tummies. Leaks glorious leaks

Try growing grocery store garlic First. It Won't overwinter, but you can make some notes and still eat them, then look to buy locally grown garlic this Fall. That will have the best chance to do well in your garden.
You plant them in the Fall like you plant Spring bulbs in the Fall.
Best time where I live is in October, and I did that and I had some growth, then they died back and came back the next Spring.

Oh oh oh came upon a most interesting news bit! Tied to gardening too. So! The Khafre pyramid in the Giza complex was analyzed (last week I think?) using the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) tomography scan & it found a subterranean system that extends approximately two kilometers beneath all three pyramids. This really gets my attention because it is theorized that the pyramids, as some always suspected, were actually ENERGY harvesters! AND the cylinders beneath the pyramid have coils around them! So - just like electro culture! Some speculate that the coils around the columns are even copper! Like, wow! Soooo interesting. And this seems to go hand in hand with the idea of a hidden history as documented in the Graham Hancock series Ancient Apocalypse. It never seemed plausible to me those were simply tombs. Maybe now the true purpose and reason for them will be revealed!

Coincidentally the last posts I was reading from Yannick Van Doorne on his electroculture experiments, was these pyramids out of copper that he was making & using over selected crops. It was just the basic outline of them, and he would place it over the each zucchini plant or whatever. Wild stuff!!!

I would really be happy to find these copper pyramids. That should keep the rotten slugs off what I attempt to grow

I used to get slugs pestering my lettuce, but once I put in some copper coils I never had a problem. If there is lots and lots of rain though those critters can still be a pain. Copper does do a pretty good job to repel them all in all.

I started reading the sweetest, most lovely little book. A paperback published in 1964 called 'Peacock Manure & Marigolds', by Janet Gillespie. Even reading in this format, as opposed to on an electronic device, has been such a charming, earthy experience. Been a long time since I read a paperback. As wondrous as the modern technological world is, we really are missing out now on a delicate, timeless quality of experience. The book is full of gardening wisdom, and sage observations and advice. At the time of the books writing Mrs. Gillespie's children are all grown up, but she begins with memories of her grandmother's garden, and then her father's. It occurred to me as I read the first chapters that there is just something about gardening that truly transcends time. It's like gardeners are anchored in a kind of transcendental space, while the rest of the world swirls through it's phases and tumults. When she describes her fathers endless, joyful research into compost, mulch, fertility, pest control it just all feels so relatable. This was a time before the word organic was specifically applied, when it was just the way things were done. I was shocked to read her talk of cloud seeding too, I had never even heard of that until the last couple of years. I'm only just beginning the book and already I don't want it to end!

Anyway, it's a wonderful gardening classic. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a slow, old fashioned read about gardening that you can enjoy with a hot cup of tea.
