Prime seeding/planting time starts Tuesday
For those who believe you get an edge planting during the correct moon phase and in a fertile water sign,like me, the prime days are almost here. So, if you are transplanting tomatoes and peppers, or sowing the seeds for mid-late May planting, here are the times (EDT):
3/23 VOC ends at 2:16 am. First Quarter Moon in Cancer (Water). 3/24 Waxing Moon in Cancer (Water). Saturn square Ceres. 3/25 Waxing Moon in Cancer (Water) goes VOC at 12:39 am and ends at 5:39 am. Moon enters Leo (Fire). Sun square Pluto. In other words, the 23rd and 24th are the perfect days. If the astrological signs don't matter to you, but the moon phase does, the 2nd quarter moon is prime time to transplant above ground crops (March 23-28), and the 3 days before the full moon to sow seeds (March 26-28). Happy gardening! |
