The Full Moon

Did you see the full moon last Tuesday? It was so big and bright, my son cried out to me, “How big…! Like a ball!!” According to the article, it calls “Beaver Moon” for November’s full moon, the name came from Native-American.

Do you know a farming deeply related with the moon? It’s better to plant seeds before the full moon. WHY? As you know, the full moon causes high tide. It makes the earth weaken being pulled by the moon and the sun. If you plant seeds then, the roots will firmly root in the ground and grow stably. On the other hand, if you sow seeds in the new moon, they will be pulled by the sun and the moon in the ebb tide, only the sprout will grow and the roots won’t be stable.

Wow! Amazing the relationship between our planet and the moon!
