The Moon in the zodiac: Virgo

The Moon in Virgo: a earth sign, a root day in the gardeners' tradition; a half-fertile sign. The sign changes every two to three days; what each means in the garden is on the planting calendar.

An earth sign, half-fertile. Root day for root crops and a day for planting flowers and shrubs; vegetables sown in Virgo are said to run to leaf.
