Questions
When are the best days to plant by the moon in 2027?
Each month table lists them. Above-ground crops go in on a waxing Moon in a fruitful sign; root crops and bulbs on a waning Moon.
Why do the dates depend on my time zone?
The Moon is checked at local noon, so a sign change that happens late in the day can land on different dates in different parts of the world.
Is the moon gardening calendar based on science?
No. It follows almanac tradition. Use it as a planning habit, not a rule.
When is the best time to harvest by the Moon in 2027?
Lore harvests on days when the Moon is in a barren sign, and the tables list those days month by month. For example, Jan 9 (Sat) has a waxing Moon in Aquarius and is listed as best for harvesting above-ground crops. Jan 23 (Sat) has a waning Moon in Leo and is listed as best for harvesting roots.
Which days in 2027 are best for weeding by the Moon?
Weeding and pest clearing show up on days when the Moon is in a barren sign. Jan 4 (Mon) and Jan 5 (Tue), with a waning Moon in Sagittarius, are both listed as best for weeding. Other months list more such days in their own tables.
Which Moon signs are fruitful and which are barren?
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are the fruitful signs. Taurus, Libra and Capricorn are called productive. Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius and Aquarius are the barren signs, which lore keeps for harvesting and weeding.
How many best gardening days are there in 2027?
The year has 313 best-day matches across the five garden activities. May and August are the fullest months with 25 each. February, March, June and November have 21 each.
What does "fair" mean next to a gardening activity?
Fair marks a weaker match than the plain listing for that activity. A day appears in the tables when at least one activity is rated best, and a fair label beside another activity on the same day means it fits less well. Only best days are listed, so days that are fair for everything do not appear.
