Lunar Calandar planting is indeed big here, some of the older and friendlier folks in my barrio are always telling me that i should be planting seeds in the days approaching the full moon.

but then they also say that anything you plant during lent will grow healthy and give plentiful fruit. I imagine this is where the indigenous methods clash with old world Christian beliefs.

This past full moon cycle I did plant some gandules and frijoles, with some amazingly rapid growth, but then it was just before this past weeks heavy rains.

I figure that if the moons gravitational pull can cause the tide to rise and fall, then it must also have some effect on plants among other things. To what extent, I truly do not know though.

The sun is setting and its been a scorcher. I gotta go put down some water. My tomaters are therstah.
