Gardening by the Moon Planting Guide

and Garden Activities Based on the Cycles of the Moon

There is always something to do in the garden, and this unique tool shows you the best days for planting by the phase and sign of the moon. Each month shows garden activities based on your growing season, and tells you when is the fertile time to plant. This is the best moon calendar for gardeners, with more planting information specific to your climate. It will keep you on track with your garden activities all year long. The lunar gravitational pull increases the moisture in the soil at the time of the new and full moon, encouraging germination and growth. By working with the forces of nature you can have a more abundant harvest.

How to Order your Gardening by the Moon calendar

Choose between three different ways of getting your lunar planting information-- the full color 11” x 17” printed wall calendar , the digital files PDF format for instant access, or the software application to give you customized frost dates, time zone, crop choices, and more planting information than the wall calendar. The software is the best option for international customers, or those who garden over winter in the hot southern areas of the US.

You will also need to decide which version is best for your length of growing season, based on your local frost dates. When choosing frost dates, remember that they are the average last frost date (and thus some frost may occur before or after that time). Need help deciding?
