I think it was taught that the "farmers almanac" was occult and should be avoided at all cost. What little I have seen of this book I know they do endorse the Horoscope and other questionable material. But is everything wrong in this book?

Before anyone breaks out your tar and feathers let me explain what I am thinking here.

I have been wondering about the "Moon" and its phases. We know the Moon affects the tides of the oceans, but does it affect other things as well.

I know an older Christian man in his eighties who said: He use to make fun of people for years who planted certain crops by the moon phases. Certain root vegetables are said to grow better if you plant them when the dark side of the moon is towards the earth. He went on to say his vegetables never did good until he decided to plant his vegetables when there was no full moon and he found that his vegetables grew much better when planting at certain times of the year.

There you have it, if the moon can affect the tides, could it not affect other things as well. I think if anything it is because of the gravitational pull, but not convinced of this.

The Bible does say:

Psalm 121:6
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

So there is something that takes place where the moon can smite a person by night, right?

Maybe there is something to the phases of the Moon having an affect on men.

Don't think just yet I have went out on the deep end, but when I planted "turnips" last fall it was just all tops and did not produce any turnips, and the beets were the same way. We just went out and put seeds in the garden with no consideration to where the moon was and my whole crop was just tops.

Are there any words of wisdom out there, before I consider hanging garlic from a pole near the garden? Rolling Eyes
