VEGETABLE PATCH : Tender leafy greens thrive in this waning lunar energy! Transplant young kale and collard seedlings 18 inches apart, watering them in with a gentle shower to settle roots. / Direct sow successive rows of arugula and mustard greens 1/4 inch deep for continuous harvests through early summer. / Thin existing lettuce seedlings to 8 inches apart, using the thinnings in tonight’s salad. / Apply a nitrogen-rich organic fertilizer around spinach and chard to boost leaf production while the moon’s energy supports above-ground growth.
INDOORS : Feel the soil in your houseplants – many need attention now! The ascending moon supports leaf development for indoor plants too. Check peace lilies, pothos, and spider plants for signs of new growth and provide liquid seaweed fertilizer at half strength. / Rotate foliage plants a quarter turn to ensure even growth on all sides. / Mist tropical specimens like ferns and calatheas to increase humidity during this drier spring period. / Propagate snake plants by cutting mature leaves into 3-inch sections and placing them vertically in fresh potting mix.
LANDSCAPING : The cool morning dew highlights emerging perennials! Divide and replant overgrown clumps of ornamental grasses while they’re actively growing but before they reach full height. / Edge garden beds with clean, crisp lines to define spaces and prevent lawn grass from encroaching. / Apply a thin layer of compost around hostas, astilbes, and ferns to feed their leafy growth during this favorable moon phase. / Remove spent spring bulb flowers but leave foliage intact until it yellows naturally.
