Episode Details

Seed Staring using the moon phases. Does the moon phase and seed starting really matter? Let’s look at home the moon effects our plants and seeds if at all.

First-quarter moon cycle (new moon to half full) – Things that are leafy, like lettuce, cabbage, and spinach, should be planted. 

Second-quarter moon cycle (half full to full moon) – Planting time for things that have seeds inside, like tomatoes, beans, and peppers. 

Third-quarter moon cycle (full moon to half full) – Things that grow underground or plants that are perennials, like potatoes, garlic, and raspberries, can be planted. 

Fourth-quarter moon cycle (half full to new moon) – Do not plant. Weed, mow, and kill pests instead.
