I'm not the one who plants by the moon. My grandfather did, but I
don't. My garden soil is so wet and heavy that if I waited for the
correct moon sign as well as for the right temp and moisture level I'd
never plant anything. And I don't accept the concept that the moon sign
has any effect on vegetable anyway.
