Behind the Headlines

Nope. Not yet. Today is not your best bet when castrating animals. You’ll have to wait until this weekend.

Today is actually the best day to go camping (along with tomorrow - which would make sense since you have to stay overnight to camp) and also the best day to prune to encourage growth.

How do I know this? The Old Farmers Almanac.

Tomorrow is a good day to begin logging, as well as harvest above ground vegetables, and set posts or pour concrete. Trying to lose weight? Kick off the effort on the 28th. Or wait for October 6th and 10th. Weaning animals and children, cutting hair to discourage growth, quitting smoking and going to the dentist are some of the other actions on the list.

The almanac provides an astrological timetable, based on the Moon’s signs, and shows the best days for certain activities during the current and next month. The whole year is available.

As to the why you would want to do stuff, that’s up to you to figure out.
