In this episode of Old Ways, New Days, we wander through gardening folklore and summer harvest sayings from around the world — from "corn should be knee-high by the Fourth of July" to planting by the moon, midsummer herb gathering, saints'-day planting traditions, and the seasonal signs read in trees, bees, and rain. Which old sayings hold practical wisdom, and which are more magic than method? Join us as we dig into the roots of garden myth, memory, and observation.
