on 2/28, when the moon was in aries (a dry and barren sign) i put a squash seed and black eyed susan seed in separate self watering containers i made out of soda bottles. i kept them outside in the sun, it's been nice and warm here. these seeds did not germinate until this week on 3/10, so it took 10 days to germ.

now, i did the same thing on 3/6, when the moon was waxing and was also in cancer (the most fruitful sign). the seeds germinated sometime between 3/10 and 3/11...so, only about 4 days to germ.

the moon was waxing in aries and cancer but was closer to full when it was in cancer, so i'm sure that contributed as well.

there was definitely a difference in germ. time
i will post pics soon...
