The 30-day table below pairs each day's computed moon phase with what the biodynamic-gardening tradition says to do. The astronomy is real; the planting advice is folklore — no controlled study has shown a moon-phase effect on crop growth. We show it because you asked, clearly labeled.
Tradition: a rest period. Clean beds, prune, let the soil breathe. Some say sow leafy greens just after.
Tradition: sap rises — sow and transplant above-ground crops: lettuce, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers.
Tradition: peak moisture in the leaf. Harvest, brew compost tea, plant nothing in a hurry.
Tradition: energy moves down — sow root crops (carrots, beets, onions), transplant perennials, weed and mulch.

Today's phase is computed locally by the same engine that powers every page — no tracking, no server. Moon-phase bucket edges carry ±1 day of drift; the folklore was never that precise anyway.
