The daily planting guide

This week we have added a Daily Planting Guide to help you know the best day to plant your seeds and seedlings and do any transplanting. Each day the moon travels on its path through the zodiac constellations. Each constellation positively influences different parts (or organs) of plant life. To learn which constellations are associated with which plant part, see our blog, “The science of moon planting”. Think about which part of the plant you wish to use or influence most. If you are planting spinach or lettuce, you want to eat the leaves, so choose a leaf day for planting. If you are planting broccoli, cauliflower or ornamental flowering plants, choose a flower day. It’s pretty simple.

So if you’re thinking about what you might plant during the week, check our Daily Planting Guide and get off to a good start by choosing a day that will bring positive influences to your plants.

The information for our daily planting guide is sourced from Brian Keats’ Antipodean Astro Calendar, 2009. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, see Brian’s Northern Hemisphere Astro Calendar, 2009.  These calendars provide detailed information about moon phases, planetary movements, biodynamic practice and more. Our daily planting guide is intended for quick reference only - we recommend that you purchase an Astro Calendar for more detailed information.
