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 *Cross Country Nurseries *PO Box 170; 199 Kingwood-Locktown Road *Rosemont, New Jersey 08556-0170 www.chileplants.com View our Chile Photos! *Growers of chile peppers and perennials
