My name is Tipper. I blog about the heritage and culture of Appalachia at the Blind Pig & The Acorn. For the last 2 years my readers and I have attempted to plant our gardens by the Zodiac Signs. Once I started researching the age old tradition, it didn't take long to realize-it's hard to figure out exactly which day you plant what. Last summer-I published a calendar page each month for my readers that detailed in an easy to understand manner which day you should plant what. It turned out to be such a success that I developed a year long planting by the signs calendar for 2011. No more searching through which sign means what for the vegetables you're planning to grow. Each month shows which day is best suited for root crops, above ground crops, starting seedlings, weeding, and even which days are best for pickling. The only thing you'll need to worry about-is the last frost date in your area-in other words when it's safe to start gardening in your area
