Leaf day | Fruit day | ||
Root day | Flower day |
Parts of plants favored by the moon, for most actions.
For example, sow carrots a root day, cut the foliage of an hedge a leaf day ...
Harvest root vegetables (a Root day).
Plant, transplant, prune, multiply (cuttings early in the waning moon, split, layer), to use with the part of the favored plant. Ex. plant cabbages in waning moon and a Leaf day.
Cultivate, bury the green manure. Sow (some sources [1] advise sowing in descending and ascending moon).
Harvest the aerial parts (a Fruit, Flower, or Leaf day, according to the harvested portion), take grafts and proceed to grafting (a Fruit or Flower day). Sow (some sources [2] advise sowing only in ascending moon).
The waxing and waning phases of the moon have little influence on crops in the garden.
