I have tried to....
most gardner's here in my area (the old timer's) start their spring gardening/the planting of potatoes and onion sets by Valentines day or the first full moon in Feb.
So I generally try to adopt that method and start my seeds for Spring by Valentine's day or by that first full moon of Feb... I also use the Old Farmer's Almanac as a guide for planting.
I was told that my grandfather used to use the moon method and had the best garden in his area, folks would come from the next county over to see his gardens..this was before I was born and up in Idaho...I do know I would like to adopt this method a good deal more.

Michelle,I have an account with a publisher that has a lunar almanac and it really focuses on gardening - I can get you one for 2010 if you're interested. (as well as anyone else that may be interested!) Let me know.......
