Cooking and Crafting have been put aside for the last few months, except for the necessary kind of things; nothing fun and Halloweeny.But as I said last week, I'm getting back into the hobbies slowly and starting off with some attempted pumpkin-growing, which will inevitably fail but gosh-darn-it I'm gunna try!
All this working with dirt and seedlings reminded me of an old, old website--now defunct--called "Gothic Gardening." Does anyone else remember this site?
It was MARVELOUS, and thankfully internet archive still has it up for us to enjoy: http://web.archive.org/web/20001109030300/www.gothic.net/~malice/
If you are less-inclined to kill anything you put in the ground, that might be a fun place to stroll through and get some theme garden ideas.
Some other neat, dark gardening things I've been finding on the web:
- Grim Gardens - they have a few birdhouses and these little garden 'gnomes' like things that are incense-holding Grim Reapers.
- Live Journal Gothic Gardening Community - a place to go and chat about gardening while pale
- Botanical.com - an herbalists guide; full of interesting information and neat illustrations. Includes (if you navigate from the home) a list of some poisonous plants.
- Graveyard Garden - I don't know about this exact thing (I'm not advocating you buy it), but what a cool idea! A Graveyard/Dark-themed terrarium! Here's a similar (even cuter?) idea for that theme - just need some mini-props and to make a moss terrarium.
- Halloween plant(ing) ideas
