Moon Gardening Calendar (Aug/Sep 2020)
Every month, on the Saturday closest to the waning 3rd Quarter Moon, I meet with Lou Lorback and Claire Reynolds from Dig It – Gardening Is Not Cancelled, a weekly garden show on 94.9 Main FM, to talk about optimal times to plant, prune and rest for the upcoming lunar cycle.
Here is a summary of the dates that we discussed for the episode on Saturday 15th August, covering the period between 15 August 2020 to 11th September 2020.
Optimal times for planting
21 / 22 / 23 Aug (1st Quarter, Moon in Libra)
Fertile for planting, especially annuals for flowering display and anything with seeds outside of the fruit/flower. Also a good time to till soil and turn compost.
24 / 25 Aug (1st Quarter, Moon in Scorpio)

Fertile for planting especially for plants requiring strong stalks, roots and annuals with seeds inside the fruit/flower
