Okay folks, this is our agenda for this week in regards to gardening by the phase of the moon.
Yesterday or the day before....geez, I'd have to go back and look and quite frankly, I am too lazy to...I mentioned that we are going to start some seeds indoors this week...and if you wanted to jump on that bandwagon with me...get your stuff in order. This is what we are going to do.
For starters, if you plan on putting tomato or peppers (in my case both) into your garden...you should start them indoors roughly 6-8 weeks before you plan on putting them in the ground outside. Now....tomato and peppers are both 2nd quarter favored plants. They all also do best when planted in the moon signs of either Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces.... Here is the deal...I want to plant my tomato and pepper plants into my garden outdoor when the moon is 2nd quarter Scorpio (when the time is good) which happens to end up falling on June 1 and June 2 this year. I need to plant them 8 weeks earlier to be the appropriate size. Eight weeks out is roughly this week...also in keeping with the 2nd quarter deal...right now....here is a problem. This whole week is considered a barren week due to all the correspondences...except for this small about 24 hour window from Thursday the 5th at about noon (my time...CDT) to Friday around 2pm (my time again) when the moon goes full. Here is the catch....the moon will not be housed in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces...instead it will be in Libra at that point. I am going to go with it...why? Well...Libra is a semi-fruitful aspect...not as good as the three mentioned above...but fruitful more than the days prior which are all barren as barren can get. Besides, that is the only time we have to get these things started...and semi-fruitful is better than barren any day.
I also discovered that I will need to start my chives at this point....(chives are perennial, but there were none here, so I have to start some) Chives, being an herb also fall under the same rule of thumb as the tomato and pepper, so I will be starting them as well on Thursday.
So there you have it...that is the plan for this week...
Also, I thought I would add, for those of you mowing lawns already this time of year....April 1-5 is a great correspondence time for mowing to increase growth and lushness of your lawn....keep that in mind, if you want to mow your lawn to slow growth...the 2 week stretch of the 7th - 20th would be more appropriate if that is your intention.
I know personally my yard is not ready yet for mowing, so I have to not worry about this yet...I do have weeds to deal with in my garden...but I will not be doing any weed killing until the 9th....where I have a two day window until the 11th...but I will get into that more next week.
Have a blessed day...and as always...if you have any questions in regards to your own garden and gardening by the moon....feel free to shoot me a message. I will remind you that I always answer private messages back to you privately...I do not publicize any message that comes to my inbox...so don't feel that I will put your name out there if you are unsure about anything like that....=)
Take care and have a great day!
