Here's How You Can Plant By The Moon In New York State

The Old Farmer’s Almanac shared helpful information about how we can plant the moon and what it means. I personally thought that it meant planting outside at night underneath the moon. However, they explained that it follows the cycles of the moon so that plants can get the growth that they need.

It was also interesting to learn that seeds need more water between certain moon phases. Some of these phases may be familiar to us if we have heard of the new moon and full moon. The Old Farmer’s Almanac has a calendar that highlights when to plant by the moon which would be a great gift idea for nature lovers!
