I'm so Impressed with the book " Raising With The Moon . . ."

I've never gardened by the signs of the moon until this year. As a matter of fact I haven't done much gardening and thinking back, I just remembered my mother did plant and harvest everything by the signs of the zodiac and she had great luck with her gardens. This year I ordered the book "Raising With the Moon: The Complete Guide to Gardening and Living by the Signs of the Moon by Jack R. Pyle. Going by this book, I've planted everything for my vegetable garden and my flower garden and I'm so impressed. Everything is growing and looks great. I really believe I'll have great luck with this type of gradening just the way my mother did. /s/ Jo Padgett

Gardening by the signs of the moon

As a child growing up in a farming community, I always heard things like; never geld a horse during a full moon, etc. What I'd thought were old wive's tales are finally explained in this delightful book! Besides giving insight to what we often heard in the farmer's almanacs, this book breaks it down into easy to read explanations. There is also a planting guide, a chapter on soil preparation, and plenty of details as to why these rules make perfect sense. Finally, everything I'd heard as a child about these ancient planting traditions has been explained. Maybe now I can actually grow that garden I've dreamed of? Chrissy K. McVay - Author
