Write a poem about the full moon and gardening:

After all zodiac signs are passed,

On May 28^th, start tilling the grass,

Fore planting season has begun,

So follow my steps one by one,

Plant by the moon and you shall see,

There is a reaction and it will be,

After the moon has passed all signs,

"No more cold nights" at least at this time,

Here are the quarter's from my sleeping quarter,

Plant by the moon put the quarters in order,

First quarter moons are for are for plants with seeds,

But please hold off, on plants with special needs,

They come now with the second quarter moon,

Fore plants with pods and skins you should plant around say, noon,

The third quarter moon is best for root crops,

Or plants such as carrots that only stick out their tops,

Thank you for listening to "How to plant by the moon"

It will bring you education fore the 28^th is coming soon
