the best time to transplant is early, before the sun is high.
the best time to harvest herbs is after the dew dries
but before the heat draws the oils out.
the morning is for doing. the afternoon is for bearing it.
pick beans and peas now while they are cool and crisp.
if you see the bees working a particular flower, leave it alone. they were here first.
watch where the shadows fall. that is where the lettuce wants to be in july.
if the morning glory closes early, rain is coming. the old farmers read the flowers like a forecast.
when smoke from the chimney falls instead of rising, a low pressure system is moving in. finish your planting before it arrives.
