I don't remember watching, though. <br /><br />I think my grandmother planted by the moon cycles.

What a shame :( My mom sent me this link so that I could read about people taking pictures of the television. I've never thought about how the every day citizen would document something like the moon landing. You have given me something to ponder; I appreciate that :) I have taken pics of our tv - an exercise in creativity.Marsanne Pettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816447718219069472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-61841429656226176862009-07-21T09:57:28.152-04:002009-07-21T09:57:28.152-04:00It was the summer before I left for college and I ...It was the summer before I left for college and I was totally consumed with saying goodbye to friends!

I think she was always vacuuming thoug. Isn't it weird the things we remember (and repeat).<br /><br />Signed,<br />Cleaning NutRobin Ripleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620026400198513864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-10620263998685150432009-07-21T07:52:27.305-04:002009-07-21T07:52:27.305-04:00Biointensive agriculture/gardening, as well as per...Biointensive agriculture/gardening, as well as permaculture are "branches" of gardening that strongly incorporate planting and harvesting by the lunar phases. I had a student that did a project involving lunar phases and produce yield; she determined that there is much merit to following lunar phases!Delisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-34056336395165143702009-07-21T07:24:03.615-04:002009-07-21T07:24:03.615-04:00What a lovely way to recall the moon landing ...

Though I have not been planting along with the phases of the moon, I do so enjoy its magic cast in the night garden.

I remember wondering why everyone was so excited about someone on the moon. I don't plant by the moon. I plant when it is convenient. I do think the moon affects plantings and how one feels. Sometimes more so than other times.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-85979353980768839822009-07-20T22:54:35.758-04:002009-07-20T22:54:35.758-04:00I was still a couple of years from existence in 19...I was still a couple of years from existence in 1969 but my mom, freshly married and starting her new life, remembers it vividly and loves to tell about it.

My parents used to buy film in a 12-roll, and then it would take years for them to finally finish off the roll (but was always a fun surprise to finally develop, and find out what was on that roll).

However, I have absolutely no idea what size television screen we had, and I missed the instructions on how to take a still pic of the screen. Of course you only took one or two pictures each. You had to buy the film, and then pay to have the film developed, and that could Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-66096690559010416122009-07-20T19:49:29.801-04:002009-07-20T19:49:29.801-04:00I vaguely remember watching it on TV.

I don't worry about what the moon is doing when it comes to planting, but then I'm not a serious veggie gardener either.<br />BTW, the word verification is "demetrat" which reminds me of the goddess ofMr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.com
