Planting vegetables by the moon in January

Are you a faithful gardener that plants by the moon or have you ever been curious about it and wanted to try it? Planting by the moon is a longtime Old Farmer's Almanac tradition. According to this practice, cycles of the Moon affect plant growth. Here's a list of dates (according to Almanac's website) that occur in January for planting by the moon's phases.

These are for Region 1 (which the Houston area falls into along with much of Zone 9)

January 15-19, 2015 ... Parsnips (B)
These crops grow below the ground so the idea is to plant them during the dark, or waning, of the Moon: from the day after it is full to the day before it is new again.

January 20 - February 3, 2015 ... Peas (early planting) (A)
These are aboveground crops so the idea is to plant these during the light, or waxing, of the Moon: from the day the Moon is new to the day it is full.

• Shop Burpee.com for Peas
• Shop Burpee.com for Sweet Peas

Gather your supplies, order your seeds if you don't already have some on hand (parsnips and peas), and get ready to start planting in about a week!
