Perennials. They're having a good spurt of growth and we're thinking big picture. However, we don't want to interfere with that or damage them. Thanks. :donut: :donut:

3. two days after a full moon
promotes faster and thicker growth.

same with your hair.

at least according to my little mama (maternal grandmother) who did EVERYTHING by the moon. she always got good results, too.

used the farmer's almanac for the phases of the moon.

since i believed her i cut my hair at those times. my hair (back when i had it) would grow fast and thick. it got to my waist once, and almost there three more times. i was a (clean and wellgroomed) hippie.

then i hit "that age", and had to cut it all off. about 15 years ago. but when i dream of myself, i still have long hair. :cry:

:-)

i do think there are definite interactions between plant growth and the phases of the moon. after all, it has been going on for hundreds of millions of years.

4. Good to know, thanks.
As one who came of age in the '60s, I respect alternative viewpoints, especially when they're backed by successful results. Btw, I'm not surprised to hear that the spirit of you has long hair. Makes sense when we gather all those potential neutrons and electrons and put them in a fixed position over time and supported by the values of the time. I'm sure the beauty of your spirit shines brightly through your appearance.
