Tuesday 6th August

The moon continues its ascent into the constellation of Leo, channeling its fiery energy and bringing it down to earth. In the garden, this is an ideal time to tend to your fruit plants and harvest those that are ready. Harvesting can encourage the plant to direct more energy toward ripening any remaining fruits. After clearing a vegetable bed, it's beneficial to plant seeds or cover crops to enhance soil biology and improve its ability to retain nutrients and water. Phacelia, mustard, and lupins are excellent choices for restoring soil vitality following the heavy feeding of fruits such as tomatoes and zucchini.
