My grandpa swore by planting potatoes under a full moon, and I finally gave it a shot this April.

I got almost double the yield from my Yukon Golds compared to the same patch last year, with zero other changes. Anyone else have an old family garden tip that actually worked?

My grandma always planted beans with corn.

Did she say why? The corn stalks give the beans something to climb.

Got to love when the old ways just... work. My great aunt insisted on talking to her tomato plants, like full on conversations about the weather. We all thought she was a bit nuts. Then one summer I was stressed and just started venting to mine about my job... and I swear they were the healthiest plants I've ever had. Maybe the carbon dioxide from all the talking? Or maybe we're all just a little bit nuts.
