Recommendations for the day

Garden

Waxing moon: by tradition it favours sowing, pricking out and transplanting plants grown for their parts above ground. Plants are thought to take up more moisture now, so watering and feeding are put to better use.

Root day: the day for sowing, planting and lifting carrots, radishes, beetroot, potatoes and onions. Tradition also recommends it for harvesting root vegetables meant for storage.

Lifestyle

Waxing moon: by tradition a time of building up and recharging. It favours starting new habits, nourishment, and caring for skin and hair.

Cold day: a day of stability and being grounded. It favours planning, sorting out finances and tasks, and a calm hour in the garden.

Household

By tradition a cold day suits sorting the pantry, the cellar and storage, and checking winter stores.

Nutrition

Salt day: in the traditional moon calendar the quality of minerals and salts comes to the fore. Today it is worth cooking with less salt and choosing root vegetables and seeds.
