The moons says "Time to weed"

Columbus, OH(Zone 5b)

1st the disclaimer:
I'm not claiming to be any sort of expert, as far as I'm concerned Dusty is the Lady in the Moon
-----
It appears that the next 3 days (July 15 - 16 - 17) are good for nothing much but weeding.
Then after that you can add a couple of days (July 18 & 19) of pruning to discourage growth along with your weeding.

I just had a thought (make that a question)... Does this phase of the moon also make it a good time to till the earth?

Wouldn't weeding and tilling to together? Farmers disk up the field to get rid of the weeds, so technically, that's weeding?

I don't know. :)

Oh, good, that's what I was planning for today. Love the pic, Dovey.

Hi Joan,
Yeah, I think they go together... from what I'm learning if you weed during this time the weed seeds are less likely to germinate. Same with tilling, when you stir up the soil it can cause dormant weed seeds to germinate.

I learn best when I share what I'm learning, so as I learn I post. I don't claim to be an expert (yet ha ha)

I did a little weeding this morning, it's already too hot to do anymore.

I love that picture too, I have a few in my collection.
This one is by Virginia Lee, I love her stuff
