Linda Chalker-Scott’s cool. I’ve read one of her books and enjoyed it immensely! The night-feeding herbivorous insect thing is fascinating! (And maybe it’s like the chicken and the egg–what came first? The food for the insects? Then the over-population.Then the plant response?) Too many questions, and some things cannot be duplicated in a laboratory. Let’s just say I’m putting my money on the ancient ones.

I don’t doubt that the moon influences life here on earth. I’m just trying to be cautious about making claims without enough evidence. Here’s an interesting piece: https://sharepoint.cahnrs.wsu.edu/blogs/urbanhort/archive/2010/04/21/lunar-control-or-lunacy.aspx
I like the last line the most – it’s very Carl Sagan sounding to me.

I just read this anti-lunar effect entry in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_effect – BUT it’s very interesting that all the sources are anti-lunar effect! Hmmmm . . .

Really? Doesn’t the moon connect to everything on earth? We know about its effect on tides and weather (atmospheric tides). And if the effect is great there, why not on the rest of life?

Seems a bit pseudoscience-y to me…but interesting nonetheless.

That is what I am hoping for (that Greenwoman will be deemed as a publication that is needed – and wanted). Thank you!

A wonderful interview! I, too, enjoyed reading about how you began the magazine. You are filling a niche that needs your kind of publication.

I enjoyed reading about how Greenwoman came to be! (I have that book “American Garden Writing” too; it’s an excellent anthology.) I applaud your goals and congratulate you on your vision, commitment, and hard work.

It is true, there is a point at which you realize you are a gardener. Your wardrobe has changed, you spend you money on unusual plants, maybe it is the point where you realize that you plan your trips across town so that you can stop at your favorite nurseries.
