Weirdness- is it just me?

[lainey lou]

Following on from the thread a while ago about lunar gardening, I wondered if any of you use any other unconventional methods to give your plants/plot a boost?

I talk to my plants frequently, give them all reiki and energise any water/feed i use on them.

I have a friend who is planning on meditaing among his plants this year, he is also thinking of setting up crystal grids on the plot, I couldn't do this on the lottie as it would probs get nicked!

So how about the rest of you or am I alone in my weirdness?

I am often 'smiled at' when I mention guides, crystals, piskies (wot!) or fairies
I have a Moon planting calendar on my wall, I just need to find a Moon to plant
I talk to plants, not always what you'd say in front of ya Gran

Am I weird? Nope, it's them wot is weird

I love all those things too, my husband has gradually got used to my weirdness, he does still call me a witch though when i get out my crystal ball or start chanting!

I always apologise when I have to cut anything, even when nipping out the side shoots on tomato plants.

I don't call it wierdness - just common courtesy. KK, on the other hand thinks I am completely barking

i shout a lot at mine when trying to get rid of the weeds around them or when its a crap day and i know i have to get down to the plot. does that count

but they don't listen to me..."

Just reading a book all about planting folklore from around the world. The interesting bit I've picked up so far is regarding moon planting - root (or below soil) crops plant on a waning moon and air (fruiting) crops plant on a waxing moon.

Will give it a try

I know a different version to that:
"I talk to the trees
that's why they've locked me away..."

When I plant a potted plant into the garden, I heel it in and say ' Gorw, you b*gger!' - and they do! Unsympathetic magic, that is!

Ever tried hugging a tree? My husband usually walks away muttering if I do this, but tree energy is AMAZING!


I anyone still talking to me?

I have a friend who wanted to cut down the tree in her garden, so she aksed it for permission, it said "no" so it's still there.

sorry but i am with your husband on this one. if you want to hug a tree in the privacy of your own home well thats fine but in public is just disgracefull

[lainey lou]

I do try to do it when noone's looking!

Snowdrop (the clue is in the name Snake) is the same as you and LL's hubby - barking he says totally barking

[snake the squadie]

dont get me wrong i am a modern man and i am not treeaphobic but you dont know what a dog did to that tree seconds before you started hugging it
