Gardeners! Is there any garden lore that you go by?

Like planting underground plants in the dark of the moon and above ground plants in the light of the moon? Companion planting? Some of it kind of makes sense when you thing about how the moon controls water. But I want to know how much validity there is.

more important to plant after last frost, and don't over water

So what zone are you and when do you plant? I'm in zone 4 so memorial day is when we consider ourselves safe from frost.

@beaisforbliss: thats about right for me too, nebraska.
also it's best to water in the morning, not evening
i'm, or was, plant specialist in a garden center

@mrmoose: Me too! I know these things. But nice of you to tell me nonetheless. 😊 I know how it is. I have so many spiels. We should be pals.

@beaisforbliss: you're a husker?

@mrmoose: Um I don't know what that means but I'm gonna say no. I work at a garden center. I wouldn't call myself a "plant specialist" necessarily but I know a lot and it's my job to answer the plant questions.

@mrmoose: I've been at my job just one year. Going on my second season but I picked everything up really quickly so I've earned the trust of my boss and the regular customers. I'm 23 but have a chubby baby face. People tend to underestimate me but I know my shit. And I'm gonna start training people this coming week. Kinda nervous but I know I can do it.
