Recently, I learned how we can plant by the moon according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. This doesn’t necessarily  mean we can go outside at night and plant in our pjs, unless we want to!

The Old Farmer's Almanac Explains How We Can Plant By The Moon


I’ve always been fascinated by the sun and moon. Recently, we’ve had a full moon that we’ve been able to see clearly from New York state. 

I was intrigued to learn more about The Old Farmer’s Almanac about planting by the moon. This idea includes us following the cycles of the moon to get effective growth from our plants and vegetables.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac shared that seeds would need more water during certain moon phases. In addition to that, they explained that for optimal benefit for planting, we can refer to the waxing of the moon and waning of the moon as well. 

94.3 Lite FM has additional information about how this can be done.

In addition to learning about how we plant by the moon, The Old Farmer’s Almanac has shared their weather prediction for Christmas.
