OCTOBER 2019 49
On these two pages you will find the basic planting rules for the month of October,
derived from ancient traditions. Even if you’ve never planted by the Moon, these rules are
easy to apply. All it takes to raise a good “crop” (or tend to your house plants) is to have
a little knowledge of lunar lore, and to give your plants the care they deserve!
