Gardening Calendar
Contents
The gardening advice provided in the Calendar is based on the following principles...
•The actual days of the New Moon and Full Moon are considered poor days for any gardening activity, and more appropriate for ceremony.
•The Third Quarter phase of the moon (from third quarter to full) is considered poor for planting, but good for garden maintenance such as weeding or harvesting.
•The other phases of the moon are good for planting and transplanting, and the type of planting that’s most suitable is based on the sign the moon is in. Water signs are good for leafy vegetables, Earth signs for root crops, Air signs for flowers, and Fire signs for vegetables or fruits with internal seeds. (This is in line with Rudolf Steiner’s approach to Biodynamic agriculture.)
Note:
The advice is provided based on the position of the moon at noon; please observe the actual time of ingress of the moon from one sign to the next for more specific planting timing.
