thanks for looking, Kathleen. that just goes to 12/31. I'll buy one when i go to town, was trying to cheat and find the dates for the weekend.

Arlene... This site posts each current month, so January should be up tomorrow. (Scroll down to see the moon signs for each day of the month.) http://www.gardeningbythemoon.com/month.html

Arlene, I'm confused - when I click on it, January 2003 comes up. Friday and Saturday are recommended for planting above ground plants as well as the 8th and 9th.

it changed right after midnight

Kathleen, you are right, and i thank you so. i had already been there, and when i went back today it still showed december. since you and tig said what you did, i thought to reload, and there it was!!!!! thanks so much!

so arlene, which is the best day to plant brug seeds??

3rd and 4th are good, 8th and 9th are best...day recommended for tomatoes. guess i'll start tomorrow, save some for the 8th and 9th.....

Arlene, I too was looking for the new guide. glad to know that it changed.

Arlene, here is the url for the Farmer's Almanac i am familiar with. it is working ... http://www.almanac.com/edpicks/astrological.html

There are many notions about planting by the phases and position of the moon in the sky.

Some of them date back to antiquity. The names of our moons (wolf moon, etc), date back to ancient Greece.

A fellow named Rudolph Steiner developed something called Biobynamics, which makes use of the moon in determining what to plant when, as well as many other ideas related to organic agriculture.

Thanks to all who gave us info. I have used the phases of the moon, to cut my hair, grow things, etc., for many years. Kept a record and it really has some merit!
