I also vouch for the Stella Natura Calendar, I've been
using it for years, with wonderful results. Sowing seeds a
few days prior to a full moon increases germination speed
considerably, especially hard to germinate seeds - they
just fly out of the soil! I've also found that chile seeds
germinate best when sown with the moon in Leo, and perform
poorly when sown with a moon in Virgo. 

Happy sowing,  janie
