Plant in Spring when the Moon is Full

The moon was full. It flooded the fields and spilled light into the windows of upper rooms. And all over the country, moon gardeners were planting by it -- corn, beans, sweet peas -- because they know that a full moon will make corn grow tall and pull a vining bean right up the pole.

 

Moon planters believe that the same gravitational force that pulls the tides, the same cosmic rhythms that draw a horsehoe crab ashore to mate, also cause crops, especially those that bear above ground, to leap right out of the earth. And conversely, when the moon is on the wane and its light and gravitational pull are on the decrease, the earth's gravity kicks in again, and roots burrow happily into the ground.

 

Now, I don't know if all this is true ... but I liked the idea, so I hope you do too !

 

Taken a week ago today and processed with a combination of Topaz Impression and two textures by Lenabem-Anna. Thank you Anna !
