Long Germinating Seeds

Long germinating seeds (8 - 21 days) are planted on or within 7 days of the Full Moon (see the organic gardening calendar).  During the Full Moon phrase, the moonlight is decreasing, and the lunar gravitational pull is increasing. This time prepares the LG seeds for germination during the next New Moon phase.
