Planting vegetables by the moon in February
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 February for planting by the moon's
phases.
These are for Region 1 (which the Houston area falls into along with much of Zone 9)
