Let's Chat w/ Sarah Hall, Planting by the Signs

Seeds & Weeds Podcast

Can the moon help your beans grow? In today’s episode, author and professor of agriculture Sarah Hall is joining us on the podcast to talk about planting by the signs and her new book, Sown in the Stars.

Learn about this traditional practice of working with the moon phases and astrological signs to guide your planting schedule. We’ll discuss when is the best time to plant, harvest and preserve your crops, according to the stars.

Sarah will share stories about the many interviews she conducted while working on the book, as well as her experiences planting by the stars in her own garden!
