Serious question: Are you familiar with planting by the signs?

Question

I was brought up to plant the garden by the astrological signs in the farmer's almanac; waxing and waning moon, etc. Nobody had a problem with this, although some believed it was effective and some didn't. People with nature-based spiritual beliefs, are you familiar with this? People who want to mock/condemn, go bother somebody else, this question's not for you.

Atheist Consiglieri--not THAT kind of seed, silly man!

LabGirl not sure what you mean--do you plant only night-blooming plants? I ask only because my sis has several of those.

oh, i see what you meant about moonphases, okay

Answer 1

Hmmmm

What results did you get?

Personally I tried planting my seed using the rhythm method, it was not effective and I am the proud father of 4 boys.

Answer 2

I am familiar with it but I only plant plants that are sensitive to the moonphase by moonphase....I know of only one, a variety of night blooming jasmine that takes about 2 months to bloom.

Answer 3

Of course I do. Set out plants in a water or earth sign - Plant in the fruitful signs:Scorpio,Pisces,Taurus, or Cancer - Root flower cuttings when the signs are in the knees or feet.- plant beans when the signs are in the arms - Don't plant potatoes when the signs are in the arms or they will grow little toelike nubbins all over the main tuber.

I am a farmer and I live by the farmers almanac. Most of the farmer I know do too.

Answer 5

Almost all farmers did this in the past. Most farmers today are college educated. Now they know it was just a superstition.

I think you may have confused astrological with astronomical.

Astrology is the signs of the Zodiac, astronomy is how the planet moves in relationship with other planets -- basically the seasons.
