Just as the tides are highest during the New and Full phases of the Moon, this theory suggests seeds will absorb the most water during these times....All aboveground crops should be planted when the Moon is waxing. During the New Moon is the best time to sow or transplant leafy annuals such as lettuce, spinach, cabbage, and celery, while the First Quarter phase is good for annual fruits, and foods with external seeds, such as tomatoes, pumpkins, broccoli and beans.<br /><br />Root crops do best when the Moon is waning. When the Moon is just past Full, it’s a good time to sow or plant root crops and fruit trees like apples, potatoes, beets, turnips, asparagus, and rhubarb. During the Last Quarter phase, it’s best to avoid planting at all. <br />Cassie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999167699205727834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247099490335087362.post-46652270112009001222015-08-29T11:28:36.146-04:002015-08-29T11:28:36.146-04:00Why farm in accordance with lunar phases?

I tried to print one- and only background color will print- 5 pages printed before i cancelled. Hope you will consider allowing visitors to print them off in the near future.LynnD.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09968585708232322002noreply@blogger.com
