granny had. “a ‘saying t

went something like: “Plant . §

potatoes. at. the full, dig at
the wane,” or. some’ ‘such?
No? Well, mine did. ;

The ancients observed ‘the
skies, notably. the sun and
the moon. .After-.a- while,
they observed ° “other astral
bodies, including many that
moved. They called these

planets. Early atrologiss
gave each planet a eand
charted ‘its. path through the
skies. Now, we're’ getting to
the astrological aspect of
planting and the part'where |
the “is it magic?” or. “myths
we have known” comes into
play.

The _asttologists called.

each planet's place and path >

through the skies its
“house.” Each “house” was
given a sign. ’ Sign. names
differed from™planet names
(no, we don’t know why).
For example, the path of the

planet Venussils., called the .

“House of. Libra. The’ ‘ancients
-“wound-up’ with 12 signs of
‘the zodiac. Thus, while the
names. of. the individual
planets are usually ignored,
the “sign” is still used to
denote moon phases in lunar
, planting. See, Granny wasn't
too far off, because each
phase is good for certain
_ garden activities.

“The Old Farmer's (check
. this) _Almanac,”
‘planations of lunar planting.
It tells you the moon’s own >
“house,” Cancer, is the most
fertile sign, and others
considered fruitful are
Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus,
Capricorn and Libra. Get a

If you" re the impatien
and a flower lover, have we
got one for you! It's (what
else?) Impatiens, an old-
fashioned flower updated
and big among important

flower gardeners.
Called variously “Busy
Lizzie,” ‘“Snapweed,”

“Touch Me Not,” “Patient

Lucy” or the Patient: flower, ;

it's an easy growing annual
that will fill up the ‘flower
beds now and blooni-on and

. And it’s a°colorful: ad-
dition, _ Providing — ‘riotous

white,
yellow.

You begin with flats of
plants from the nursery, for
transplanting into the garden
plot about 15 inches apart.

Mulch each with wood
chips and water. Pinch back
growth at about six inches so
Impatiens will bush out.

The flower. got its name
from its seeming impatience
to burst pods and spray seeds
_all over the place. You can,
“of course; collect these. and
nurture them into more

purple and bright

plants.
New Strains and
hybridizing have tran-

-sformed the ancient’ plant,
‘mentioned. by Shakespeare _
in “A Midsummer _ Night's
Dream,” to a Star of today’s
gardens. Hardy varieties are
bushy, as tall as 15 inches,
and come with single and

_ double blossoms.

They're at home in the
shade as well as full sun, and
are great as edging plants
and path definers.
