Tomatoes and the Half-Lit Moon

So, my garden is doing well considering when i got to plant, late for me, but anyways, we ate our first tomatoes today and they were deliciously sweet. They were cherry tomatoes and i cant way for the full size ones to start turning... yum. our peppers are doing well too, but the show stoppers are the berries. Both of our blackberry and blueberry bushes are overflowing with berries. they've never put out this much before and my mom in particular is very excited. The herb garden is not doing well sadly but there will be a good harvest come fall for basil, sage, and lemon balm. our ferns are ridiculous this year, but it looks like the rest of the herbs just aren't growing all that well this year. So it looks like it'll be the shops this winter for supplies. Come to think of it, the cucumbers and eggplant are fairing about the same... I cant complain though, i just love seeing when seeds turn into plants and the return is so much more than i really ever need.

As to the moon. I came across an interesting bit on on the half lit moons. when the moon is equally half dark and light the time is ripe for magick to shift the outcome of a situation thats 50/50 to that of your favor. the waxing half to draw a victory, winning the prize,  and the waning half when you don"t want to (ie, when the prize is jury duty).

Thats all for now, I'll dust off my camera tomorrow!!
