Daily planting guide

June 12 - 18

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”. For optimal results, plan your seed sowing, planting and harvesting activities according to the part of the plant you wish to eat or use. For example, spinach should be planted on leaf days, tomatoes on fruit/seeded vegetable days, beetroots on root days and broccoli on flower days.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.
