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. List of LG Seeds Vegetable | Approximately Days to Germination | Artichoke | 14 | Asparagus | 15 | Basil | 10 | Carrots | 12 | Garlic | 20 | Horseradish (roots) | 14 | Jerusalem Artichoke (tubers) | 14 | New Zealand Spinach | 8 | Okra | 8 | Parsnips | 14 | Potatoes, Irish (tubers) | 14 | Potatoes, Sweet (tubers) | 14 | Rhubarb | 14 | Salsify | 14 | Shallots | 8 | Spinach | 8 | Approximately Days to Germination is a minimum number and may be up 5 days later outside the proper lunar cycle.
