Planting by the Moon

No matter what kind of weather was flung our way, Paige was able to be faithful to her lunar planting schedule of the garden. Based on the phases of the moon, certain vegetables went in at certain times of the month. Will it work? We'll see ... but we had some neighbors in Utah that grew some of the biggest carrots we'd ever seen using this method. We had to move our garden this year due to the lesson we learned last year to not plant your garden next to a black walnut tree. That's a no-no. So we tilled up nearly 1000 square feet of new gardening space for our family, and all the critters that live in our yard. Oh ... and after years of talking about building a pond, so one day we decided to dig an "experimental" hole and we'll see what happens. It only took one Midwest storm to fill it up. So far, two frogs have moved in.
