Planting By The SIGNS | Real OR Fake?!

[@hbug13_62]

Well, in Genesis 1:14 it does say that God gave us the lights in sky: “Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;”

[@CApixie22]

You two are adorable and just the way you look at each other clearly shows how in love you are 💜

[@msmachiavella]

Much appreciated❤

[@robinelkins6172]

I am so glad I'm not the only one that does things by the signs. I also go by what our cows are doing. If they are laying down all together in a group, we are going to have bad weather.

[@jackgoslee5172]

I love y'all . My grandpa always used to follow the sings of the moon to plant our garden. Always.

[@matthewmaclellan_]

this is so helpful, thank you both so much. i've been trying to understand this, because i've gotten interested in a lot of aspects of appalachian culture, and there aren't many resources that really teach this for someone who didn't grow up around it. this is so much clearer now.

[@laurarich2599]

Thank you! This information is SO interesting! I have also started following the facebook page Planting by the Signs!

[@kathleenkubiak3521]

You guys are so cute. Every time I watch your videos you make me smile.

[@scapingreality]

Ive been following this since you put the video out and it really has increased our yield. Also can't wait for this killing day to be done to plant tmrw! Thank you guys 😊

[@mrs.bizzybee4437]

Thank you both for putting this out there I never heard of this before. I’m going to try it out

[@dixsigns1717]

Thank you! Scorpio, also. Thank you, I will have to plant my beans on a good day.

[@littlefootranch4410]

So happy to know that I’m not the only who follows the signs! Jenn, I’m also a Scorpio & do is my husband. Nov 9 & 14th are our birthdays. When is yours? Oh and one of my things that I do & live by is burning sage. I truly believe it helps keep bad energy out. I do it at the start of every season & also right before we have any kind of celebration & throughout the week as I feel the need. I also never use an old broom in a new house. With being a retired military family, we moved around a lot & I always bought a new broom & smudged the house before moving in.

[@missybowen2333]

I am a Christian and as a former EMT and now work in a hospital I am here to tell you people are crazy on full moon nights. My family is from TN and VA and I have been raised on many of these things you talk about. Fun video thanks for sharing

[@beckymiller128]

I love your videos.you offer a barrel of really good information.

[@joeyhardin1288]

I am canning this morning. I had forgotten about harvesting, canning and planting by the signs, my grandparents followed them. Went looking for something, could not find it in the O.F.A., and found you guys, posted on my birthday. Then saw the Tee shirt, looked like KY. Sure enough, looked at mailing, Frankfort, I am in Burgin, little burg east of Harrodsburg. Love the content and love to support KY KZbinrs. So I think I will stick around, Subbed, Belled and smashed that Like button. Also good to know you go to church. Also, about the moon, my preacher and I go (used to go) to the hospital on Full Moon Firday and Saturday and help with all the crazies that would come in there - amazing. See you around.

[@WeeLee64]

I planted by the moon cycles this year for the first time and had the best garden in 8 years! Everything was beautiful and productive! I can't prove that planting by the signs was the reason, but you can bet I'll be doing it that way from now on.

[@donnamays24]

You guys are so fun to watch! Your energy is infectious...yes I follow the signs as well...I also tried the canning at the wrong time and lost the whole batch...it’s true! My grandparents taught me to use the almanac as a guide to all planting, harvesting and preserving. Great topic y’all! Blessings from Western NC🙏🏻💖

[@canoeloulou1166]

I love you that you shared the old wives tales. I also am from Kentucky and have heard all of these and a few not mentioned. My parents and grandparents passed these on and I have passed them on to my children as well. My mom lived by "company was coming"when she had a strong itchy nose. Lol Farmers almanac was a common topic. Some we laugh at and some we live by. Loved this video!

[@yvencia1150]

Love it's and thank you for sharing🤗🤗

[@MrRedtu]

U guys r so happy, love the smiles! Keep on spreading them!!!

[@dianeamaral3611]

Coming/leaving through the same door, my mom use to tell me always. Another one was do not whistle in the night time guess it brings not good "spirits" into ur life...lol that one always scared me, never let my kids whistle at night. You guys are so cute and fun to watch!!

[@elizabethhicks9844]

I'm not superstitious but some things are sensible...I'm going to check out some of this...very interesting thank you...from goshen ohio

[@kristicalderon2948]

I am a fairly new gardener..this is year 2. I was told by my great aunt about planting by the moon. I went to her for gardening advice because our entire family knows her as being the one person in the family, completely incapable of killing a plant. when I asked her what advice she had to offer a new gardener, her only reply,"plant by the moon". I have since been tying to learn everything I can about this topic. I have also been watching a lot of homesteading youtubers, I started watching about a month before you guys got started. I found you through Jess. I have already learned so much from all of you, but this is the first information that I have seen from my favorite youtubers. I want to thank you so much for being "crazy". I aspire to be that crazy too. Also, thank you for the printable charts...so helpful.. love yall

[@paulettaconley7914]

My husband quit smoking with the signs. It really works. I aways do the door thing too. And most of the other signs. By the way i am 70 years young and im a fellow kentuckian. Live between maysville and morehead in fleming county. Love you guys.

[@WheretoBeginHomestead]

Pauletta Conley happy to meet a fellow Fleming county resident!

[@denisekeeth4595]

We have a retired postman here in Donegal, he delivered mail in the Bluestack Mountains for over 48 years and predicted the weather too. He predicted the heatwave we had in 2018 and the big freeze in 2010. He does it all by watching nature, the birds, the animals, the leaves etc. He learnt it all from the older generation around where he grew up and he's usually right. This year he's predicting we're going to have a good summer................thank goodness.

[@christinenewell4587]

Hello Beautiful Donegal and Very Beautiful Bluestack Mountains.... From Belfast:).

[@Flowerlady731]

I love this! I am a TN native. My great grandmother, Momma Lessie, was a Pentecostal Cherokee-Irish that raised 11 children during the Great Depression. She taught me growing "by the signs" and Moon phases. I have followed this every since I started gardening. The only fails I have ever had was when I didn't adhere to the teachings. A big no-no was to not sew on Sunday. All seeds had to be planted by your own hands (no gloves), and to walk in the garden barefoot, but nowhere else. Watch your gates (Ear gate, Eye gate, Mouth gate). All gates go straight to your spirit. Ear gate, be careful of what you hear. Eye gate, be careful of what you see. Mouth gate, be careful of what you say. And, the word "hate" was forbidden, cause "hate" was of the devil. The best for learning was that what you put out you get back. "God don't like ugly". "Blessin's come to those that ain't looking for 'em." My favorite lesson of all was, "Miss Mossy, just be still. Listen a while. You might just hear what you're needin'.'" Oh, and "never climb a latter when your expecting. It will tie the cord around the baby's neck."

[@Flowerlady731]

Sorry, I had to change the word "pregnant" to "expecting". That was also a forbidden word, too.

[@redinthethevalley]

Thank you for sharing!

[@tammyhann7093]

Love yalls videos, been watching for a while now and I want to thank ya'll very much for taking the time to share with us,what great inspiration &hope ya'll have given me on our jurney 2 fulfill some dreams,May God Bless ya'll

[@Redbrick44]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This is not hooey. We are just beginning to understand energy in our lives. I have learned a lot about it as a Reiki Master and intuitive. This is all a part of understanding creation. Incidentally, science is slowly proving all this to be true. Thanks for having the courage to share.

[@KandicePolut]

Sending love to you guys!

[@inderwink]

One of the more unique video topics I’ve watched. Very interesting. Would love more mentions in your regular videos.

[@cristymenapace677]

Cool! I’m a new gardener and I’m finding this info fascinating, it actually relaxes me. I do think all things are connected. So it should make this gardening journey a smoother one. Thank you! From another Scorpio😁

[@JMK_Fam]

As I sit here with my hot tea looking at 5 bushels of cucumbers ready to be pickled...... now I’m in a rock and a hard place. They can’t sit for 4 more days and nobody else can do it 🤦‍♀️😂 I have never heard it but I’m a sucker for what the old timers stand by.

[@WheretoBeginHomestead]

Yes! Thank you for this! Exactly what we have been saying on our channel. For new gardeners, this will help with production and not give up due to not much produce! farmers almanac 2020 gardening calendar online will give you what you can plant on what days 1 month at a time. Easy to read information for new gardeners. We wait to cut hay on days that will promote new growth. We don’t wean or castorate any animals without the good moon signs. I just planted sweet potato slips in the pouring rain because it was a good day for below ground crops.

[@easyacresfarm109]

Awesome, thankyou!!

[@tennesseegirl1215]

Great video, I learned the planting by the signs from my parents and grandparents. My Mom was fanatic about the door thing, but many you mentioned here I had heard from her. One I remember was don't step across a broom lying on the floor it brings bad luck. If you drop a spoon or fork, company is coming, a spoon was a woman and a fork was a man. I have so many and alot I forgot, the older generations practiced these fervently. Blessings

[@redinthethevalley]

I have been told that the butter knife was a man, small spoon was a child, a fork was a woman.. isn’t it interesting the differences yet similarities?! Hugs!

[@sassyannie6292]

I occasionally look at astrology just for fun. It will be interesting to see how the charts coincides with gardening. Have fun, God bless, Love y'all

[@SerenityHillFarmstead]

No canning during your cycle was the very first canning rule I was taught.

[@cheyennereed4584]

I love this video so much!! Thank you guys for getting weird with us. I love how you're so open!

[@bluehillhomestead6835]

This makes me love you guys so much more!! I am right there with all you with all of this.

[@fayegibson1729]

Thanks for sharing this fun topic. I have always gardened, raised 3 great boys, and everything else by the signs. I have all the same traditions you have like always entering and exiting the same door, no canning or gardening during that time and so on. They really do work and I passed this information onto my children and grandchildren. I always throw salt over my left shoulder if I spill it, this blinds the devil so that it can’t take your soul. I also put some coins out the the front porch on New Year’s Eve and then bring it back in on New Year’s Day, that way you’ll have money coming in all year long. My kids always enjoyed doing this when they were little and still do it with their families. My New Year’s dinner is always Fried chicken, sweet potato casserole, turnip greens, black eyed peas, fried hog jowl and rolls. The one year I didn’t prepare this my kitchen caught on fire and did $7000.00 worth of damages (34 years ago). Needless to say this meal is a big deal to me. 🤣. I have many more but I've already talked your ear off. Sending y'all love and hugs from Tennessee ❤️🤗

[@GrammaRosesHomestead]

Sounds like it's a good thing I've gone through menopause! Maybe that's why grandma always seems to have that magic touch. Planting on Good Friday is actually planting by the moon because the date Easter falls on each year is determined by the moon. It's always the Sunday following the first full moon after March 21.

[@kathyweber2089]

I'm offended that I didn't find anything to be offended by. I love ya'll. Thanks for the education. I'm going to learn more because, since we're all creatures of the earth, we should know more about how the moon affects her. Thanks for MORE awesome information.

[@joeyhardin1288]

Our family follows the knife thing. Was just old enough to drive and went to see my grandparents. My Grandfather was out in the fields, turning over rocks, pushing them back into the dead spot. Asking what he was doing, he said, by the time hay season gets here, these rocks will be buried.

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

The patio turned out to be just lovely!I plants roots during a full moon, i always have because that's what my gramma taught me!I don't care what the naysayers think, It works for me!"Blessings of Bounty and May Your Gardens and your Life always Bring You Joy,Inspiration and Abundance!" - Hope PS, I had no idea the almanac had contained all that info@Wish I had know n about the potty training thing many , many years ago, it felt like it took me three years per kid!😁

[@Cindysmiths-homesteadlife]

Guess canning tomatoes does not apply to me anymore. Don’t have monthly’s anymore....lol

[@chaseharmony9172]

I don't think that its just the actual cycle itself but the hormones affected by the energy of the moon. Let me know if you notice a difference......enquiring mind🙂.

[@WeeLee64]

Hehe...maybe we shouldn't touch the jars or tomatoes during a hot flash...? LOL

[@kathyloftin3565]

I was a teacher and we could always tell when the moon was full without looking at the calendar ! Kids were always out of control ! Lol

[@mississippigirlgardening8396]

I love the Signs..So glad y'all were the ones to share this video..I'm a Libra here in Mississippi that wants as much advice and tips that will help me helps others.. I have a huge passion for life of others..thank you both for sharing this with us..life changing already ...again...thank y'all 💚🌱💚

[@marilyngodfrey868]

My son will be 56 in early August. When he was a baby, he drank from a bottle, because hubby did not want me to breast feed. So my hubbys grandmother told me that when I was ready to wean him from the bottle, to look at the Old Farmers Almanac. I had never heard of that but we looked and planned ahead. He had been using a sippy cup for a couple of months, so at age 10 months he walked and was weaned ! It was so easy. He never asked or cried...he ate real good and drank his fluids from his sippy cup. My hubby has always planted by the signs.

[@marilyngodfrey868]

It does work to plant this way!

[@EnchantadoreaPlumaDelDragon]

Love this video. We always planted by the signs. And we had the same superstitions growing up.

[@bottomviewfarm7800]

If a broom falls on its own across a doorway, expect company.

[@cindysmith7304]

My family always did the no garden or canning during you're cycle

[@rainbird2112]

I have had a weird habit that I've never found any proof of but... I have always had better luck with my plantings when I put them in the ground while it was raining.

[@christyjohnson6967]

You guys! This was a really fun one! ❤️

[@tanyadolton9623]

My grandma always said you shouldn’t can if your sick. You will can the sickness in your jars.

[@flyingpigpreserve8562]

I follow my Sign. I'm also a Cancer so you know about my Sign. I've seen Fence Post come out of the ground. Seems crazy but I know you understand. Thanks for the Charts and the Facebook page.

[@GrammaDebsStorytime]

One thing that I have always done...not sure where it even came from is that if we pas by a graveyard, I lift my feet off the ground (really the car floor). Does not make any sense to me at all, but I still do it! 😲

[@ellenwhite134]

Y'all Two Are Just A Joy To Watch And Yes I Believe In The Signs Of The Moon Myself ..My Grandma And Grandpa Always Did Everything By The Signs And So Have My Parents .. The Pocket Knife Tell. Has Always Be A Thing With My Family.. Don't Wash Clothes On New Years Day Are Christmas Day ..Just So Many Tell Of Life As A Child I Grow Up On And Yes I Am A Christian Too..

[@dorindahill57]

You are so right Jen you don't ever go in to the garden or can, or bake bread there is a lot of things you font do at that time of the month. You don't ever give someone anything sharp like a knife ext. They have to have give you a pics of silver like a dime, quarter, ect.. Coz that's bad luck they or you will get cut bad... I have a lot that I live by...

[@GingerScruggs]

about four years ago i had my driveway regraveled. it was so weird. a day or two later it was like someone had come during the night and stole my driveway! not a piece of that gravel could be found! i couldnt figure it out. now i know why.

[@wooby9898]

Don’t take the broom with you when you move.

[@BonnieLeah]

I didn’t bottle break or potty train my kids by “the signs”. I bottle broke them first, ( not too long after they turned 1 year old) and then potty trained them after. I didn’t really have a problem with bottle breaking or potty training. I have also researched being in the garden during a woman’s monthly and according to what I have read, it won’t hurt your garden for you to be in it during your monthly cycle.

[@rosanna5schmidt732]

Very interesting.

[@kathyroberts5870]

For leg cramps at night place your shoes upside down under the bed. My mom said my brother had epileptic seizures when he was little .He was on the couch and she had a washcloth washing him off and he slide down between her leg a uncle left came back with a gallon of warm moonshine gave him a bath till it ran off cool and he never had another seizure.

[@shirleymccoombes9153]

So glad I am not the only crazy person on the planet, thanks for sharing this topic.

[@sadiechristenson2754]

It's bad luck to have the bread loaf on the counter upside down. My grandma said that. I've always followed it. It's bad luck to open an umbrella inside the house as well.

[@BonnieLeah]

Sadie Christenson I have opened my umbrella in my house quite a few times and I have never had anything bad happen. I don’t believe in luck, I believe in God. God loves you. God bless.

[@sadiechristenson2754]

It was my grandma's thing, and I guess I just picked it up.

[@terripoe]

So, I have a legit reason to make my husband do all the canning and gardening when it's my time. Thanks.

[@ritamccartt-kordon283]

YEP! What y'all said! That pocket knife thing is a big one for me! I've always wondered if the parking space is always been situated so people have to come in and go out the same doors?? Humm! We have a local Funeral Home who gives out Almanac Calendars every year! I love it! Never have surgery, or have a tooth pulled or worked on in the Bowels! Infection! Have surgery or anything like that as near to the FEET as possible! It HEALS faster! My doctor couldn't believe that I insisted on this, but he was SO shocked at how fast my knee healed up and I was walking on it on the 2nd day after surgery! No crutches! But with a brace!! Yes, it's all in the Bible too!! GOD gave us the signs! GOD bless

[@redinthethevalley]

Hello Rita could you please tell me where I can read this in the bible as I’m new

The best example of this if you have ever dug holes sometimes you don't have enuf to refill the hole and sometimes you have too much dirt.

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

My dad always said that if you dont have enough to refill it, it's not good dirt, lol

[@kyfaithhavenfarm9228]

Farmers almanac has been apart of my life since as far back as I remember. My grandparents and parents followed it and also lived by the FoxFire books. I’m old school and it works. 🙌 God created it all from the moon to the stars to the soil we plant in. Ecclesiasticus tells us there’s a time for everything. Even planting and harvesting

[@appalachianmercantile]

This brought back memories of my Granny keeping one of those funeral home calendars so she could plant by the moon. We were also never allowed to do some things on Sunday (not due to religion). No planting, no cutting nails, no playing cards....

[@bakeneggsdesertgarden5068]

I garden by the moon too!

[@angieo.2389]

I plant by the moon cycles..it works for me,it's just the ebb and flow of mother nature.you guys are just so much fun,I look forward to your videos!

[@quilterinthewoods62]

Jen, my mom and grandmother would not touch cucumbers when making into pickles at "that time of the month". We have a recipe for 14 day pickles and my mom will not touch them at that time. You have to stir and drain them on different days, and on those days my dad did it, or I did, if it wasnt my time. Weird is weird!

[@melissagreen94]

My grandpa said it was bad luck to have your hat on inside the house. And, he swore that once we walked on the moon, our weather was never the same.

[@suesmith5033]

Italians won’t can tomatoes during their monthly.

[@GreenWitchHomestead]

This is so much fun. This is what I grew up with. The one I get odd questions of is shoes off at the door and I have a little mat that you wipe your feet on. Once everyone is entered I take the mat and shake it off out the door. I also every time I go to wild forage for food I bring a bit of nutts and butter that I leave behind to say thanks

That’s how I knew what days she would want to go to the casino. Lol. Thanks so much for this video. I’m going to try some of your tips. And thanks very much for reminding me of Mum. Bless you.

[@jcook6352]

When my grandma was little she got burned. There was on oler lady that "talked the fire" out of her. She had no scar and it took the pain away. It was a bible verse but no one can remember what it is. She pulled a cup of coffee over on her a few years later but the old woman had passed by then. She has a nasty scar on her neck. My dad always planted corn on Good Friday. We always have a good harvest. He also had the superstition about handing a knife back the way it was handed to you. Maybe it is a Southern thing?

[@deniswalker77]

One superstition my family has done for generations back is having a big mirror at each main doors (the front door, back door, side door etc) to keep the bad spirits/ shadows out. Another is what the Spanish goes by called ojo (where a child gets sick due to envious from another person. Like a Hispanic child having blue and people just staring without touching the eyes. The child will start running fever). Us Hispanics/Spaniards have weird ones as well 😬

[@yolandasgrow1311]

One of my husbands superstition is you have to ask the land for permission to cultivate and enter! Other wise things won’t go well!And they don’t kill the super big flys if they could me inside it’s a spirit usher it out

True, we used a silver dime on a string around the baby’s neck until they get done cutting there teeth. You are right don’t can food or pick vegetables at that time on the month.

[@karenlemley8656]

It's so true...DO NOT make sauerkraut when you're on your monthly. It turns into a stinking rotten mess. My grandma wouldn't even let us in the kitchen when she was shredding her cabbage. Or don't make pickled beans and don't go in the gardens lol. It will kill plants.
