NEW MOON
The new moon is when the lunar gravity causes the moisture in the soil to be the strongest, and the water is closest to the surface. During this time, the extra moisture in the soil causes the seeds to swell more. This is what will allow the seeds and crops to thrive. This time is best for annual crops that create seeds outside the fruit like lettuce, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, and cabbage.
2nd QUARTER MOON
This is still a good time to plant crops as the moisture is still readily present in the soil. The crops that are best planted during this time are the ones that produce seeds within the fruit like beans and peas.
FULL MOON
Once the full moon begins to fade into the third quarter, you’ll want to focus on root crops as the light from the moon grows dark periodically. Because of this, focus on planting roots crops like radishes, turnips, onions, shallots, and garlic.
4th QUARTER MOON
This time proves to be the least favorable for crops to be planted as the moisture in the soil is not prevalent. This is considered a much needed resting time.
