From my favorite, OFA, my first shot at info for the month:
Moon phase gardening – March 2008
Waning Moon...Cuttings/Propagation
Flowering bulbs and vegetables that bear crops below ground should be planted during the dark of the Moon ( from the day after it is full to the day before it is new again). During the third quarter of the moon Artichoke, Beets, Carrots, Chicory, Parsnips, Potatoes, Radish, Rutabaga, Turnip, and all bulbous flowering plants.
Best days for planting above ground crops: 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 16 17, 18
Best for planting below grown crops (root crops): 3, 4, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31
Start projects: 8,9

End projects: 6, 7
Seed beds: 16, 17, 18, 26, 27
OFA says some pruning allowed, check their site for specifics.
