Thank you Mr. Dixon. Nice Thread Topic!

My family has several agricultural admonitions but they are buried deep beneath layers of citification...perhaps, your thread may dislodge a few...in the meantime.

Foxfire � Book One � 1972 has a great section on �Planting by the Signs� full of stories from the older, eastern, USA

To confirm your father�s wisdom� Foxfire�s chapter opens with, To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens: a time to be born, and time to die; a time to plant, and time to pluck up that which is planted. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2.

Included in the chapter are:
�Cut timber in the old of the moon. It will dry better and not become worm-eaten.�
�Set fence posts in the old of the moon to prevent loosening.�
�Purge with pills in Pisces and liquids in Sagittarius.�
�Don�t nail shingles or boards on the growing side of the moon.�

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
