Gardening by The Moon

This will probably teach you to ask such survey questions. I voted and commented on the thread. Basically here is what I said. My grandparents and parents always used the Famers Almanac like a Bible. Would there be enough interest to start a Thread by that name, or Farmer's Almanac, so that those who know how to use an almanac, could teach us that don't know? I am a firm believer, my DF only did certain things based on the phases of the moon.

So, begging you please to consider this suggestion as a serious one.

You mean start a forum??? I would find that very interesting. My Grandfather and Great Grandfather were both Master Gardeners, and there was always a Farmers Almanac laying around. I was too young at the time to understand that part of the gardening aspect, but would gladly learn now from others that do know. What a wonderful idea!!!!!

that sounds like a great idea. All I know is you are supposed to plant root crops by the dark of the moon and above ground by the light.

Dave, are you listening|? See there is some interest, and give it overnight, and tomorrow to see how many others chime in.

Even if a lot of people don't chime in...it's still a good idea.....it would be a forum for learning....it could have a lot of things...folklore and history......the meaning of a ring around the moon, the stripes on a wooly bear caterpillar, a sun dog.......so much fun!!!! and so very interesting!!

Pleaseeee Dave :))

I would love to learn about gardening by the moon. My Grandparents did it, and always had wonderful crops.
I may not have alot to add, but I sure would be soaking all the info up.

I love the idea,so much to learn.

I just got a d-mail from someone who is supporting the garden forum, Planting by the Moon, she asked that I relay her support here.

defoecat - does not need to be a new forum - start a thread in gardening or where appropriate ( just an idea). This idea seems to work for a lot of topics.

I think this would be a great subject to have as a new forum. It would enable us to keep a running discussion about the phases of the moon and remind each other the best days for doing what etc.

How does this work around the world? I suppose we can coordinate it according to time/date

I would love a forum about moon gardening..... I was testing a few things out last winter .... seems to work

Done!

Thank you Dave, seems like there are several people who are interested. This may be the quickest turn around from asking to receiving. Thanks again.
