On March 11 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waxing Gibbous phase in the zodiacal constellation of Leo ♌, according to the calendar it is the 12 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 92%. Moonrise will occur at 2:46 pm and sunset at 5:47 am.
During this time it is advisable to take a break from most gardening activities related to planting and growing plants. The only exception is rejuvenation and shaping pruning. The crop harvested in Leo will keep well for a long time. The ripe fruit can be used to harvest its high quality seeds. It is also a good time to prepare the harvest by canning, drying, etc. It is worth avoiding watering and fertilising with organic and mineral fertilisers.
Favourable time for gardening. Sowing and planting plants that are more interested in tops than roots. Work the soil, remove weeds, thin out seedlings, pick seedlings, prune and pinch vegetable crops in the greenhouse. Do not yet prune fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, fruit and berry bushes.
This is a good time for sowing plants with above-ground crops. Pruning on this day will have the maximum stimulating effect. Among the favourable types of work at this time are planting and transplanting ornamental, fruit and berry trees and shrubs, rooting cuttings, grafting, watering and fertilising. When working with the roots of plants, try to cause them as little damage as possible.
Tuesday is ruled by the combative Mars, so an uncompromising fight against pests and weeds is paramount on this day. You can also devote your free time to hard work in the vegetable garden. You will recover much faster than usual.
