Lunar Gardening

has been using the ancient form of gardening by the

the moon reflects the special characteristics associated with that sign:
Dry masculine cycles
Aries, Gemini, Leo or Aquarius: The best time for
pulling weeds, plowing, tilling and killing pests
Productive, moist, earthy and feminine cycle
Taurus: A good time to plant root vegetables
and potatoes
Fruitful, moist and feminine cycles
Pisces: A good time to plant most things, especially
for root growth; Cancer: A good time for planting
and irrigation; Scorpio: A very productive sign for
planting most crops, especially vines
Barren, dry and masculine cycle
Sagittarius: A good sign to plant onions and hay
and for cultivation
Moist, earthy and feminine cycle
Virgo: A good sign for weeding and cultivating—
and also for pest control
Semi-fruitful, moist, airy and masculine cycle
Libra: A good time for planting crops and root
