How the phases of the moon change
The gardener's calendar is compiled taking into account the four main phases of the Moon:
- new moon - the period when the Earth's satellite is not visible in the sky;
- growing or young moon;
- full moon - the period when the appearance of the satellite repeats an evenly outlined circle;
- aging or waning moon.
You can distinguish between a growing and an aging moon if you mentally place a pencil at the ends of the crescent.
The resulting letter “P” indicates the waxing Moon. If the letter "P" is turned in the other direction, resembling the letter "U", then the Moon is waning. When you remove the pencil, you can clearly see the letter “C”.
