<div>To all of my horticulturally inclined members; <br/> <br/>What are you planning to do with your garden this year? <br/> <br/>Strictly flowers? One or more varieties perhaps?? <br/> <br/>Veggies maybe??? Go for the historically accurate or the I just love em and want to eat them and share them with everyone I know?? <br/> <br/>Please post, I would love to hear from all of you. <br/> <br/>Me???? Well, I plan on pulling all the dead, winter killed plants out, terrorizing gophers, chipmunks and other 4 legged critters (my cat and the dogs included of course) and watching the grass grow since I can do that without killing it.

<div>This tribe has stagnated for quite long enough!!! Come on people! lets get some info flowing!!!! <br/>I'm all excited about getting some seeds planted this morning! <br/>If all goes well I should be eating some fine antique varieties of fruits and vegies this year at faire!! <br/>I have WHITE carrots for us "common folk" and some really hard to obtain ORANGE carrots to serve to the nobles. <br/>I have a melon that looks more like a squash than a melon, but is traced back to at least the seventh century. <br/>My strawberries have poked their TINY seedling leaves through the dirt, and I can't wait until they are big enough to transplant! <br/>(the strawberries were planted over a month ago, they take FOREVER to sprout!) <br/>There is more, of course, but I'll wait til I get it planted to list it... <br/> <br/>So, What is in YOUR garden??</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>So, I'm officially stirring the pot!!! <br/>What grand schemes and fantastic floral follies do you have planned for next year? <br/>Any edibles for the Elizabethan table? <br/>Period potted plants to grace the guild yards? <br/>Enquirin' minds gotta know!!! <br/> <br/>For me it is two new Autumn Damasc roses for cutting, and candied rose petals. <br/>If they produce well enough, I might try rose petal jelly! <br/>Also going in next year is Lavender!! i CAN HARDLY WAIT!!! <br/> <br/>So, What are YOU all up to?????</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hello people!!! I wanted to let everyone know that Beth has made me moderator! Yes, you should be afraid since I can't grow anything but catnip. As a matter of fact, I have the Black Thumb of Death when it comes to gardening of any kind. Otherwise, I will try to be cheerful and make sure everyone plays fairly nice with each other. <br/> <br/>I can't really see people getting all het up over horticulture though, can you??? <br/> <br/>I check in with Tribe about once a week right now since I am in school. Any problems, please email me directly and we will try to work out the best solution that doesn't involve me or you going to jail, okay???</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 1 reply </div>

Lets hear it for the old roses! <br/>A couple of my 'old girls' blooming in the garden right now.Maiden's Blush Alba pre 1629 A fully double pink. 'Versicolor' Gallica semi double circa 1630.Reminds me of a striped peppermint candy. As pretty as they come and fragrant. Whats not to love? I would post pic's if could figure it out. Help anyone?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>So Jane, who posted some nice pictures and words is gone.... wow... <br/> <br/>I was going to say that not all tribes are active every day, I have some that have no activity for months, but I do thank her for what she did add, and hope she comes back.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>-Feeling kind of lonely out here in Elizabethan Horticulture land.Kind of feels like a Jane's garden blog. Anyone have stuff to offer from their own gardens, journals, litature, diaries, anything? Hey Beth! Where is everybody? Its June in the great NW! Lots is happening! How about the rest of the country?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>-Two more photos posted of plants worthy of garden space.Centranthus has a history that makes me cringe if you were given it as a tonic.Belongs to the valerian family. Remember valium? Yeah, that remedy. Given to people for hysteria. Then you find out it was used as an effective RAT BAIT! Imagine what your breath might attract! EWWWW! Think that knowledge would help your hysteria? I grow it because its pretty, bunny and deer proof. Think they know something?--- and well ~~~ its got a great story behind it <br/> <br/>Crambe or sea kale is just plain beautiful in my garden. Like a giant baby's breath. Belongs to the cabbage family so slugs like it but is is just lovely when its happy.Stays in bloom a long time then it remains interesting as it makes seeds.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>submitting a photo of Linaria(toad flax) blooming in my wild garden right now.I used to have a book that had a discription of the plant that was used to make flax. Can not remember if this is the plant. Must be a senior moment. Sorry. In other parts of the country and around the world it has different common names. This plant is Linaria Purpurea. It sets seeds prolifically and comes in pink some years.I love it. The bunnies and deer leave it alone as do the slugs.Insects are also no problem with this plant.Honey bees and butterflys love it.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/historicalhorticulture">Elizabethan Horticulture</a> - 5 replies </div>
