Moon Gardening

Last year we inadvertently planted our garden by the Moon Cycle and we had a great yield. So, I am thinking I should plan it out this year. Planting your garden by the Moon cycles affects plant growth. The Moon’s gravitational pull causes tides to rise and fall. It is believed that it also affects moisture in the soil. If you plant during the full Moon and the new Moon more moisture is pulled to the soils surface which will result in greater seed germination and therefore better-established plants. Aside from this peaking my interest, I was drawn to see what holidays were on today. I am seriously getting addicted to this! Today is Donald Duck Day (I don’t know what to say), Earmuff Day (Really?), International Fanny Pack Day (Okay, I hear they are making a comeback), National Coconut Torte Day (I can get behind this one), National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day (Unbelievable!), K-9 Veterans Day, (I do appreciate dogs), Ken Day (Give me a break! The Ken doll has his own day!), there are more…..I need to get over this.
