The Last Quarter moon phase for February 2009 runs from 17 Feb – 25 Feb.

The Last Quarter is the time of rest in the traditional [lunar planting calendar](http://green-change.com/2008/12/11/what-is-lunar-planting/). This is not a time for sowing anything, but it is a good time to catch up on weeding, preparing garden beds, and general maintenance.

For information on what to doa in the various climate zones around Australia in the Last Quarter phase, check out Aussie Organic Gardening’s [What To Plant In February](http://aussieorganicgardening.com/blog/) page.
