Friday 16th May
The moon rises in the constellation of Sagittarius, bringing warmth to the day and a renewed sense of direction. In the garden, this is an ideal time to sow climbing beans, pumpkins, squash, and corn, all of which have an affinity with the moon in a fire constellation such as Sagittarius. In biodynamics, tree bark is understood as an extension of the soil. On fruit trees, we might consider applying a tree paste made from clay, rainwater, biodynamic preparations, and cow manure. This helps protect the bark from pests and supports healing where the tree has suffered injuries. If rabbits or deer have been chewing the bark, you can adjust the recipe to include natural deterrents such as chilli—ingredients that may gently discourage further damage.
