It has long been known that the moon influences humans, animals and even the tides.
Maria Thun already paid a lot of attention to the connection between moon phases and gardeners.
Many people still base their gardening work on the lunar calendar and observe the days that are particularly suitable for root plants, leaf plants, flowering plants and fruit plants.

In November everything in the garden is all about winter preparations.
These are:
sweeping leaves
Winter protection for more sensitive plants
Winterize furniture
turn off the water
Possibly loosen the bed
Historically, November was the month when the Native American tribes of North America increasingly set beaver traps to keep their pelts warm through the winter.
That is why the November full moon is also called the Beaver Moon.
According to
time and date
, other names for the November full moon are snow moon, frost moon, oak moon, mourning moon, wind moon, battle moon, and third moon of autumn.
Even if you are not supposed to kill any animals in the garden in November, you can take care of the last yields.
Onions, cabbage and root vegetables can still be harvested in the garden in November.
It is a good idea to preserve this harvest by storing it in the cellar or canning it.
If you are in the mood for fresh, crunchy lettuce even in the cold season, you should quickly and easily grow fast-growing lettuce such as rocket on the windowsill.
