I was going to plant some calendula seeds today , but , it didn't feel right somehow. It didn't feel right so I consulted the moon gradeners

"Lunar Planting
Many gardeners believe that planting during specific phases of the moon brings good results. Many calendars and almanacs carry moon phase planting guides.
Plants gain energy for growth from the sun, but they are also affected by the moon's changing phases. The moon controls tides, influences the groundwater tables beneath the earth and affects the movement of fluids within plants.

New moon - farmers and gardeners should prepare to sow seeds now. During the first quarter of the waxing moon phase the moisture level in the soil is at it's highest, so this is when you should plant seeds, repot plants, sow lawns. This brings rapid germination and growth.

Full moon - farmers should transplant now, when the lunar flowering force is strong. The moisture content becomes low during the waning moon phase and less sap is rising in the trees and shrubs, so it's a good time to do your pruning and attack weeds.

According to lunar planting folklore root plants should go into the ground during a waning moon. It is also the best time to turn over soil.

Being out in the real world takes one away from blogging.Went out to run a few errands , post letters and pick up parcel and kept bumping into people. Sunshine makes people want to talk.

Ingrid showed me photos of her daughter's artwork. FABULOUS paintings , she is really clever. The portraits ( oils ) especially were awesome and the facial expressions as enigmatic as the MOna Lisa's

Client sessions went well too. Love it when they get inspired and feel uplifted. Can almost hear the penny drop.

While having dinner I found myself inside an elephant's womb. Yes .. inside the womb of an elephant .....part of OPrah's " Places you have never been before " thanks to National Geographic.How do they do that ?
