The ol coot and I .. for the past 12 to 15 years, or so .. have used, and have come to 'swar by' .. a body depending on, and implementin', the signs of the moon .. for our flower and veggie gardening.
This 'ticular web site .. is one, that TamaraFaye had suggested and posted (back in July of '04 .. on one of my 'our Spring '04 veggie garden pics') .. to access and use, Gardening by the Moon!!
It's very informative and most applicable .. with no doubt what so ever that it's been a loooong used and proven method. It's certainly got my seal of good garden plannin', plantin' and keepin' on it !! .. hee ..
I've jes placed my order for a couply of the calenders, fer this year ...
Well, heck .. I'll jes take some rather extensive liberties .. and post her lil reply, and the link, for you guys - - HERE >
For anyone else interested in gardening by the moon, I got a calendar from this site below which was quite helpful. It is selected according to your time zone and growing season. Has a little explanation if you care, but mostly keeps it very simple and straight forward.
I started out using the trusty farmer's almanac, and ended up starting hundreds of plants indoors in March, late at nigh tafter the kids were in bed. Turns out, it was during the moon's "void of course" which I had no knowledge of. But those seeds sure knew, as out of hundreds, I only got one tomato four peppers and six marigolds. Here is the link; you can even print it out monthly instead of buying one.
(TamaraFaye, feel free to set me strait, if'n ya feel it needs be!)
With things not lookin' like we're goin' to have any significant amount more, of any snow fall - I'm kindly turnin' my eyes towards Spring.
(but, mindja .. I still haint none too happy bout ta lack o'snow, tho') .. Who knows, still anythang's possible ... Heck, ol man Winter, haint no where near ta bein' thru with us! .. (I hope!)
