For some reason, I received a copy of the 2009 Farmer's Almanac in the mail at work last week. I was paging through it today as I procrastinated at the office (me, procrastinate? never), and I discovered something truly amazing (OK, that might be a little much, but it sure is neat).
Gardening profiles based on astrological signs — how do they come up with this stuff? Here's what mine said:
Sagittarius
Sagittarius ends the fall. The seasons are about to shift again, so the expectation of change is part of your personality. With Jupiter (the largest planet in the solar system) as your ruling planet, you are partial to plants that grow bigger: Azaleas, rhododendrons and rosemary fill the bill here. Giant sunflowers as well as beans and peas that climb tantalize your soul. You are fond of action and the outdoors; plants that spread out and seem wild and free excite you. Look for lily-of-the-valley or patches of mint in your garden. Quick and easy meals such as salmon and salad grace your dinner table, and popcorn is your regular snack.
Dead on, right down to the snack! And remember my sunflowers? Believe me, "wild and free" doesn't begin to describe the condition of my lantana and zinnias right now. It's uncanny.
This Farmer's Almanac makes for pretty interesting reading ... I just might be hooked.
