    About this ebook

    There are many other sources that tell you what garden tasks to do each month. But this guide teaches you how the workings of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and stars affect your garden. Learn how to use the rhythms of the Earth, the phases of the Moon, the position of the Sun, and the seasonal stars to guide you into becoming a better gardener in tune with nature.

    After reading this guide you will create your own seasonal gardening calendar using the natural signs of the Earth.   This book includes information on growing flowers, trees, shrubs, fruits, and vegetables.

    You will know 

    • when not to prune 
    • how to have a simple compost pile 
    • how to harden off step-by-step
    • the importance of chilling hours for some plants
    • planting by the phases of the Moon 
    • the different types of annuals and when to plant them

    You will learn why you must be careful of adding Nitrogen to the soil. Also included is a four-season guide to caring for your garden and a resource guide of top quality information.
