First Quarter Lunar Planting Guide

The First Quarter lunar phase for March 2009 runs from 4 Mar – 11 Mar. The full moon on March 11 is known traditionally as the “Lenten Moon”.

The First Quarter is the time for planting above-ground annual fruiting crops, green manures and flowering annuals in the traditional [lunar planting calendar](http://green-change.com/2008/12/11/what-is-lunar-planting/).
