Deety's 2012 Gardening Tips.

• The best advice I can give is to plant and harvest early and don't bother with any late December vegetables.
• Think Fresh: 2012 is not a good year for preserves. 2012 vegetables are best eaten fresh or sold for cash. Do not give credit or accept long term payments.
• Horticultural alignment is in fashion this year so place all your vegetables in rows parallel to the equator.
• For wine grape growers, Vin Nouveau is your best bet to maximize profits.
• For those of you who don't like vegetables and only eat them for health reasons, then this year is a good time to stop.
• Use chemical pesticides for a better crop yield and don’t worry about the long term health effects.
• Garden Furniture: Not a good year to install a Mayan sundial in your garden. It will only make you feel rushed.
• Magnetic pole shift: for best results plant tomatoes in an upright position and rotate by 11.25 degrees a week for 16 weeks. You can use a standard N-S compass to check their magnetic flux orientation.
• If you are worried about the effects of reverse earth rotation on your veggies then the north and south poles are classified as slow centrifugal growing areas.
• Moon phase planting: Note, this year the moon will only have an effect on planting whilst it is still there.
• In 2012 the saying, "Today is the first day of the rest of my life" is still true although you can be much more precise about "the rest of my life".
• And remember you will not be the only one to run out of thyme this year.
