It is important to note that the harvested crops are not suitable for long term storage and are not suitable for seed.

Current phase – FULL MOON (SUPERMOON) at 3:04:15 am (–).

Salting and drying (but not pickling) harvested crops will also be successful. It is not a good time to prune trees and shrubs, graft or pinch plants.
