Haiku my Heart - Luna



on seventeenth moon
a farmer watches closely
the waning crescent

It is believed by many farmers that plants producing below ground (root crops) benefit by a waning moon since the gravitational pull of the moon is less, therefore water/moisture stays further below ground.
Farmers know!

    Planting by the moon is something I've thought about, but never done. There's probably something to it, but I just take my chances. Ha!

    I love this Judie, all of your post, thank you! I too have been wanting to learn how to plant in sync with the earth and moon... and I have my first crop of potatoes growing this year in my garden! They are even flowering right now! I have to idea when to go looking for the new potatoes, however...

    moon phases dictate
    plantings and tidal cycles

    Beautiful.
    I suspect there is a lot of truth to these sadly often discounted traditions.
    Stay safe, stay well.

    Your Haiku is great.

    My grandparents planted & harvested by moon phases.

    dear friend, i love watching the moon through all her cycles. such a lesson of letting go and letting in. i never imagined we would be experiencing such a health crisis. without leadership and a united approach we are suffering gravely. such a small act of kindness and responsibility-to wear a mask. here in arizona mandates were passed on to mayors. sadly our mayor doesn't want to impose on peoples "rights". i cannot even wrap my head around such senseless reasoning. in arizona-more will die so others can exalt in their "freedom." i can hardly recognize my country anymore. please stay safe my friend. sending you love from afar, xo

    I've read a few books about planting and harvesting based on moon cycles. Still, I do better with things that are low-fuss or low-key weeds. My mint is looking super healthy. :D
