By heavens, when do you plant?
Article Abstract:
Some observers believe that seeds should be sown and plants planted or transplanted according to the phases of the moon. Root vegetables should be planted in a period that begins two days before a full moon and finishes three days before the following new moon. For all other fruits and vegetables, sowing, planting and transplanting should take place in the period from two days before a new moon to three days before the following full moon. For some observers, the signs of the zodiac are also significant.
