I actually have a bit more time this morning. I confess I didn't read much of that site I linked to, it was just the first Google result for 'gardening by moon phases'.

Another source of information is http://www.almanac.com/content...

For me, I mostly try to have my seedlings popping up on the waxing moon, close to the full moon (above ground crops) or on the waning moon, close to the new moon (root crops and bulbs). This means I sow the seeds about as many days before the full/new moon as the seed packet lists for 'days to germination.' My seeds usually germinate a few days early when I do this. YMMV

For transplants, I transplant the last few days before the appropriate moon phase (full or new).

My onions and garlic have been pushing through the surface the past day or two, and my potatoes are just starting to show their first leaves. Carrots and radishes sprung up over the weekend, and some are putting on their first real leaves today.
