VEGETABLE PATCH : The soil beneath your fingertips feels different today – more alive as spring energy builds. With the Full Moon approaching, root crops take center stage. Prepare beds for early parsnips and radishes by loosening soil 10-12 inches deep, removing any stones that could cause forking. / Sow first succession of beetroot in rows 12 inches apart, planting clusters of seeds at 4-inch intervals that you’ll thin to the strongest seedling later. The descending moon enhances root development, making this perfect timing for planting Jerusalem artichoke tubers 4 inches deep and 15 inches apart.

ORCHARD : Late winter pruning wraps up as the Full Moon illuminates your garden tonight. Check the base of all fruit trees for signs of rodent damage, applying protective mesh if needed. / The lunar node crossing at 13h10 (UTC) creates a brief unfavorable window – avoid major interventions during this time. Instead, use these hours to clean and organize your pruning tools, disinfecting blades with rubbing alcohol between trees to prevent disease spread.

INDOORS : Houseplants sense the increasing daylight hours. The Full Moon energy encourages vigorous root growth, so today is excellent for repotting root-bound specimens like peace lilies and spider plants. Use fresh potting mix and containers just 1-2 inches larger than current ones to prevent waterlogging. / Divide overgrown herbs like mint and chives growing on windowsills, ensuring each division has healthy roots before replanting in nutrient-rich compost.
