Planning Ahead
What tasks are on your list for this week? We've found that over planning is a sure fire way to get behind. Put your most important garden chores on the calendar and have a list of "If I Have Time" tasks ready.
If you can work the soil, you can start planting. Be careful about overnight frosts in your area and start the hardiest flowers and vegetables first. Check out our newest articles and don't forget to visit our 2006 favorite garden:
June 2007 Lunar Cycle
Full Moon: 6/1
Last Quarter: 6/8
New Moon: 6/15
First Quarter: 6/22
Full Moon: 6/30
Many almanacs recommend planting plants that grow above ground on a full moon and root vegetables in the dark. In 30 years of gardening I don't know the science behind lunar cycles but I do know it works!
