A planted seed bursts its seed coat around the 28th day
of the lunar month and proceeds into a period of slow,
balanced, and increasing growth above and below
ground, passes into a period of stimulated leaf growth,
then goes into a period of stimulated root growth
(getting ready for the next period of stimulated leaf
growth), followed by a time of rest. This plant growth
cycle repeats itself monthly. Plants germinated from
short- and extra-long-germinating seeds are transplanted
at the full moon so they may begin their life in the
growing bed during a time of stimulated root growth to
compensate for the root shock that occurs during
transplanting. (It is also vital that the plant’s root system
be well developed so it can later provide the leaves,
owers, vegetables, fruits, and seeds with water and
nutrients.) The transplanted plant then enters a time of
rest before beginning another monthly cycle. The
workings of nature are beautiful.
Planting by the phases of the moon is a gardening
nuance that improves the health and quality of plants. If
you do not follow the moon cycles, your plants will still
grow satisfactorily. However, as your soil improves and
