Now for the garden, it is finally in place. We turned the soil and put mushroom soil in it. We tilled it all in several times. I was given 11 Roma tomato plants and then bought eight of various varieties of the larger tomato plants including one yellow tomato.
I also planted zuccini seeds, water melon seeds, pepper plants of green bell, red bell, yellow bell, and halopino. Then I planted scallion seeds and beet seeds. it has been along wait as we have had heavy rain and mild flooding for weeks here in Pa.
I also planted a new herb garden as only two plants lived from my previous plants I brought from my other house. The lemon verbena and a mint. Flowers and herbs for generations have had specific meanings especially to the victorians who engulfed themselves in hordiculture. The medaphysical meanings of my herbs are:
mini Roses for Love, Psychic Powers, Healing, Love, Divination, Luck, Protection
Lavender for Love, Protection, Sleep, Chastity (with rosemary), Longevity, Purification, Happiness, Peace
Rosemary for Protection, Love, Lust, Mental Powers, Exorcism, Purification, Healing, Sleep, Youth
