A full moon at Yule means next years harvest will be poor.
Herbs should only be planted while the moon is in one of the moist fertile signs---Cancer, Pisces, Taurus, and Capricorn.
Trees should be planted, for strong roots, during the wanning moon before the new moon.
Flowers that are valued for fragrance should be planted during the first quarter, ideally in the sign of Libra, for best fragrance.
Flowers that are valued for abundance should be planted while the moon is in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces
Flowers, herbs, and trees for timber are thought to be best gathered when the moon is waning.
Fruit trees should be pruned during a waxing moon for an increase of fruit.
