Here are a few tips for those who are interested in gardening by the moon.
This week starts off with the moon in Pisces and in the third quarter. Pisces is very fruitful, moist, and watery, and is especially good for root growth. You may plant biennials, perennials, bulbs and roots, trees, shrubs, berries, grapes, strawberries, beets, carrots, onions, parsnips, rutabagas, peanuts, radishes, rhubarb, turnips, etc., with the idea that whatever you plant now will focus its energy on the underground part of the plant. Some people recommend not to plant potatoes under Pisces or they may grow spindly. Also, this is a good sign in which to prune, irrigate, and fertilize.
On Monday, June 11 (5:41 am CDT) the moon enters the fourth quarter. It is generally recommended during the fourth quarter not to do any planting at all, but to focus entirely on cultivating, turning sod, pulling weeds, mulching, and destroying pests of all kinds, especially while the moon is in the barren signs of Aries, Leo, Virgo, Gemini, Aquarius, and Sagittarius. Use common sense, of course. If you have plants that are out-growing their pots, or for some other reason can't wait one more week, go ahead and transplant during the fruitful signs anyway.
On Tuesday, June 12 (at 11:21 am CDT) the moon enters the sign of Aries. This sign is barren, dry, and fiery. Cultivate and destroy weeds and pests. Trim plants or cut grass in order to slow its growth. Mulch to suppress weeds. Harvest fruits and root crops for food.
On Thursday, June 14 (at 11:22 pm CDT) the moon enters Taurus. This sign is productive, moist, and earthy. The next few days are the best days within the next two weeks to plant potatoes or other tubers, if you failed to plant them last week while the moon was in the third quarter. Trim or mow to inhibit growth.
The moon does not move into a different sign until after midnight Saturday night.
Blessings to all!
