What to Plant Now: August 9 -15

It's that time again, to start planning and planting indoors for fall. We just passed the New Moon phase and are now approaching the First Quarter and are in Waxing Crescent. During the waxing of the moon (the period extending from the day the moon is new to the day it reaches its fullest point), the moon pulls moisture upwards. Seeds do well during this time because moisture is available at the surface of the soil.

In Central Texas you can start your brassica seeds indoors in late summer and set them in the garden in autumn for winter harvest. These crops need 120 days to harvest.
