What changes at the full moon?

Full moon is 24 November 2026 at 14:53 UT. Third quarter is 1 December at 06:08 UT. New moon follows on 9 December at 00:51 UT, still the evening of 8 December in New York. Roots traditionally go in before the third quarter. After that the work is harvest, pruning, weeding and cultivation.

Do not harvest a crop that is not ready because the quarter has turned. The full calendar carries every window through March. This page is the one that opens on 24 November.
