PLANTING BY THE MOON
a natural guide to a great garden
Planting by the Moon is such an easy way to have gardening success! When you plant on a good Moon day the Earth accepts your seeds or plants...and they thrive!
Plant on a poor Moon Day and your plants grow poorly.
Follow the guide below for a bountiful, beautiful garden!
I support & am a member of the Farmers Almanac, which is where I got this info!
