Preparing Seedlings for Spring!
We experienced our last freeze of the year last week, which prompted me to get on the spring gardening! What better day than Valentine’s Day, right?
Planting your garden in sequence with the moon phases and the astrological signs increases the growth of your plants; as you are working in harmony with the Earth, for the Earth.
The fourth quarter moon begins on February 18th this year, which means that we are now at the time of the full moon; this is a great time for planting root vegetables and transplanting seedlings. The gravitational pull of the moon has increased therefore the moisture in the soil also increases providing nutrients to the roots of the plants. We are also in the Sun Sign of Aquarius, an air sign, this brings the perfect time for harvesting and planting herbs and flowers.
So, today I planted my sunflowers, chives and basil and transplanted my squash, green beans and cucumbers! Next week we will be moving into the sun sign of Pisces, a water sign, so the family and I cut back all of the water plants in the pond and got it all prepped for the new growth of spring. There is still much to do, and I look forward to every minute of it!

Hi Lisa! I live in the north western part of Florida along the Nature Coast. So, I’m probably in a warmer zone than you. I lost a bit of my winter garden to the hard freezes this year, mostly the lettuces, but the spring garden is definitely looking promising!
