Tonight's Moon:
Do you pay any attention to the phase of the moon for planting?

Funny Jay.
The moon calendar also works for fishing. The barren days are not good for planting,but good for weeding.
I usually know it is ok to plant most things in the second and third week of the month. I get mixed results when planting in the 4th week of the month so I try to avoid it. I do the same things as the other times of the month, but I just don't seem to get as much germination then.
The phases of the moon and astrological signs go back across all cultures for thousands of years. Some of it is folklore but obviously some of it was based on experience. I learned from my Chinese friend that the full moon occurs in the middle of the month usually around the 14th or 15th day. The new cycle begins and ends with the new moon. It technically is a full moon, if you were on the other side of the moon.
