How to read the calendar

The traditional biodynamic calendar associates fruit, flower, leaf and root periods with crop groups. It also shows unfavorable periods, treated as pauses when planning by this tradition.

Local soil conditions, weather and season come first. The calendar can be an extra planning cue, but it cannot establish that soil is ready or guarantee yields.

Moon phase and day type are different information. Moonvine uses an independent calculation method based on biodynamic tradition; it is not the official Thun calendar and its period boundaries can differ.

Crop categories

Fruit & seeds
Tomatoes, beans, peas and pumpkins. Traditionally associated with crops harvested for fruit or seeds.
Flowers
Roses, calendula and ornamental plants grown for flowers. Traditionally associated with plants grown for flowers.
Leaves
Lettuce, spinach, cabbage and leafy herbs. Traditionally associated with crops harvested for leaves.
Roots
Carrots, beets, radishes and parsnips. Traditionally associated with crops harvested for roots.

Day types come from biodynamic tradition. They are not a plant-growth forecast or a yield guarantee.
