Seeds, Soil, and a Trowel
Yahoo! It's the start of gardening season again. For new gardeners or those of you who may not know, for success in the garden and a plentiful harvest, you will want to start your veggies under different phases of the moon. Why? Because the plants are reaching for the light of the moon but they each reach for it in a different way.
Root vegetables or veggies grown under the soil such as beets, carrots, and potatoes, should be planted when the moon is new or April 21st, 2012.
Up-top vegetables or veggies grown above the soil such as cabbage, pumpkins, and tomatoes, should be planted when the moon is full or April 6th or May 5th, 2012.
Water veggies or lettuce and spinach should be planted during a water moon or moon in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
And hot peppers and squash or those veggies that like the heat need to be planted during a fire moon or Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.
Here is a list of beneficial veggies, berries, and/or fruit for each sun sign and the flowers or plants they enjoy.
