Beans & Corn - Full Moon Start      

     Spring is just around the corner and I don't know about you but my hands are just itching to dig into the dirt and plant anything that will grow in cool weather, such as, lettuce and carrots!  My Taurean sun is an enthusiastic gardener, as many of you know.  

     How to start. If you don't have a greenhouse, start your seeds inside in containers in a place where they will get about 6 hours of sunshine or use grow lights and then cover the containers with cling wrap or terrarium tops.

     When to start. This year, as every year, I'll start my veggies under the different phases of the moon:  root vegetables (veggies grown under the soil such as beets, carrots, and potatoes) should be planted when the moon is new or April 27 or May 27, 2025.  And the up-top vegetables (veggies grown above the soil such as cabbage, pumpkins, and tomatoes) should be planted when the moon is full or April 12 or May 12, 2025.

     Seasoned gardeners, such as myself, know from experience what berries, fruits, and veggies we enjoy growing in our gardens and we all know what we like to eat.  The list below includes beneficial and supportive foods for each sun sign as well as bush, flower, and/or fruit favorites.

Aries:  broccoli, hot peppers, lettuce, onions, peas, peppermint, radishes, rosemary, tomatoes; aloe plants and gladiolus flowers.

Taurus:  beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, garlic, herbs, onions, potatoes, tomatoes; any of the berries, daffodils and lily of the valley flowers.

Gemini:  chives, carrots, cauliflower, garlic, lettuce, mint, peas, spinach; lemons, baby's breath and sunflowers.

Cancer:  broccoli, cabbage, corn, herbs, lettuce, pumpkin, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, turnips, and watercress; mini-roses and tulips.

Leo:  cauliflower, corn, garlic, lettuce, onions, peas, hot peppers, radishes, spinach; oranges, marigolds and sunflowers.

Virgo:  beans, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, herbs, lettuce, onions, parsley; peaches and mini-roses.
