The 8 Moon phases are split into 4 quarters:
Starting with the New Moon that pulls moisture upwards - a great time to start seeds - proceeding to the 1st quarter as the Moon light increases.
This is the best time to plant Above Ground Crops, Annuals and Perennials that
produce seeds outside of the fruit eg. Lettuces, Greens, Chard, Sorrel, Spinach, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kale, Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Strawberries, Celery, Grasses and Grain Crops.
The 2nd Quarter approaches the gravitational pull lessens - Especially 2 days before full moon.
Plant above-ground Annuals and Crops that produce seed inside of fruit eg. Beans, Peas, Melons, Cucumbers and Squashes, Eggplant, Peppers and Tomatoes.
During the 3rd Quarter - next phases after the Full Moon - the gravitational pull is high as the light begins to decrease.
During this time it is best to plant things Below Ground eg. Root Crops, Carrots, Potatoes, Garlic, Onions, Bulbs, Perennials, Trees, Shrubs. Mowing Lawn and transplanting are also OK.
In the 4th quarter the gravitational pull decreases with the moonlight becoming a period of
rest.
This is a great time to Harvest, Cultivate, Fertilize, Prune and Transplant.
