HA! Dyslexia is a troubling affliction. So much for proff readin et late nite /sarc

my teleprompter messed up, yea that's it. !

OK here is some planting info

Many gardeners plant according to the position of the moon, or the signs of the zodiac, or a combination of both, and claim great success. They also report dismal results from planting on the wrong days. Moon Phase gardeners believe seriously, that if the zodiac sign and the phase of the moon are both favorable for doing a certain thing, there can be no better guarantee of success.

Keep in mind that the Light of the Moon is the period between New Moon and Full Moon when it is waxing, or growing lighter. The Dark of the Moon is the period from Full Moon to the New Moon, when it is decreasing or getting darker.

After you have figured the proper waxing and waning periods, you may want to test these suggestions.

Plant below-ground crops, or root crops (beets, carrots, potatoes or turnips) in the Dark of the Moon.

Plant above-ground crops, like beans, lettuce, corn or cucumbers in the Light of the Moon.

Plant flowers in Libra and while the moon is in the first quarter if possible.

Cut timber in the last quarter of the moon-it will dry better and not be worm-eaten.

Destroy weeds, kill brush or trees in the barren signs, Gemini, Leo or Virgo, especially if the moon is in the last quarter.

Dig a hole in the Dark of the Moon, and you will find you haven't enough dirt to fill the hole up-again. So dig your post holes in this period and the post will settle tight and firm.

Cut hay in the Dark of the Moon, it will dry quicker.

Pull out weeds in the last quarter of the moon.

Plant wheat, rye, oats, all cover crops and grasses, also leaf crops, by Cancer.

Plant onions and cucumbers in Sagittarius. They will do well.

Destroy unwanted bushes and weeds in Leo, which is a fire sign. This is also a good time for killing trees

Set out fruit trees, ornamental shrubs and vines in Scorpio. They will take hold quickly and prosper.

Make preserves and jellies and put up pickles in Aries. Jams and jellies will set well and pickles will be extra tasty.

Prune trees and vines in Capricorn if possible. The sap will not bleed nor the wounds become blight infested.

Peanuts, potatoes and all root crops are best planted In Taurus, the Neck, which is a powerful Earth sign.

Virgo is an especially potent barren sign. Do not transplant; your seedlings will not do well. Plant as little as possible in this sign.

Place a brick on top of some green grass at the waxing of the moon and the grass will grow out from under. Place another brick a foot away during the waning of moon and the grass will die under it.

Plant flowers in Pisces. You'll have, stocky vigorous plants and abundant healthy bloom.

OK, trial begins today...

That is the first easily understood moon sign guide I have seen. Now I am bookmarking the site and will be referring to it quite often...

Thanks.
