May The Force Be With You

Since the moon is full today, we should all be sowing seeds of plants that grow above ground: lettuces, peas, broccoli, cabbage, etc. April's full moon is known as the "Seed Moon." If you would like to read more about moon planting, this is a good start: http://www.moonplanting.com/ This is a basic guide for moon gardening, from Keith's Moon Planting page: http://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moongrow.htm
