Moon Garden Planting after Easter

Cindy R. • Mar 31, 2021

What can I plant after Easter?

First the link I put in yesterday’s blog, was incorrect as it was mixed with one I intended to look at today. So, here is the correct one. https://www.calendrier-lunaire.fr/en/the-moon/the-waxing-and-waning-moon. It was very helpful in determining the Waning and Waxing of the Moon. Now, I’m on to determining which plants should be planted during the Waxing or Waning of the Moon. As we discussed several weeks ago, the moon’s gravitational pull causes tides to rise and fall which effects the moisture in the soil. This means that those plants that produce fruit above ground should be planted during the Waxing phase. Those that are root vegetables (onions, potatoes, carrots) should be planted during the Waning phase of the Moon. We just had the Pascal or Worm Full moon and while it is too cold where I live to plant a seedling plant, I think I will prep my garden box the week after Easter. Then the following weekend I will put seeds in for Carrots, Chives, Dill, Onions, Parsley, Spinach, Lettuce, and Kale. I’m a little nervous about it because our last projected spring frost date is May 4th. I’m thinking a plastic row cover will work nicely.
