Friday 24th April
Our Moon now waxes to a half Moon in the constellation of Cancer, bringing a gentle watery influence into the garden. According to biodynamics, this is an ideal time to sow leafy vegetables such as lettuce, leeks, spinach, chard, cabbage, and herbs like parsley, as they are supported by the Moon’s passage through Cancer. The half Moon marks a turning point, where the waxing forces begin to gather strength and move with greater momentum towards the full Moon. Over the past days, we have quietly watched the slender crescent grow, almost unnoticed, yet steadily building. Cancer invites a mood of care and nourishment, and in the garden this may be felt in how we tend to our plants with greater sensitivity, watering, nurturing, and supporting their growth, allowing both the plants and ourselves to be held within this softer, more attentive quality of the day.
