Best Days for Parenting
We love hearing from our readers, especially those who have experienced success with our calendars. Recently, one of the greatest responses was from our parenting community who found the Best Days for weaning and potting training especially helpful! Here is a testimonial from Haley in Tennessee, via TikTok.

Hello
I am wondering if anyone here cuts their hair for growth according to the dates listed? If so, did you notice thicker hair or faster hair growth? Does this really make any difference? Thanks.
Yes I do and it does grow back faster
Yes I do and yes it definitely does!!!
When are the most favorable dates for back surgery in May and June 2025?? Thank you!!
When are the best days to prune my citrus trees, lightly. I live in southern Ca. Thanks
Hi Lisa, Generally speaking, we recommend pruning citrus trees in late winter or early spring, after fruit is harvested and before new growth emerges. Here are the Best Days to prune trees: https://www.farmersalmanac.com/best-days/prune-trees. Light pruning is fine throughout the growing season. If you are looking to encourage new growth, prune when the Moon is waxing. However, if your goal is to manage your tree(s) size (to allow for space between trees or to allow for easier harvesting from shorter branches), we would recommend pruning when the Moon is waning. Any other questions? Let us know! Also, we’d love to see pictures of your trees. Upload a picture or two! Best wishes.
I have tried for years to grow a successful garden, with very limited success. I have only a 4×8 area. The only thing I seem to have any success at are snow peas. I’ve tried everything…I’m now 70, and can’t do as much as I used to. Is the farmer’s market the only garden I’ll be able to harvest from?
Gardening can be quite the patience tester! Have you tried growing flowers or herbs? Sometime vegetables can be very hard as they depend on so much including the amount of sun they receive, soil make up, etc. Start small. Have you tried transplants instead of seeds? Good luck!
Pesticides have caused a decline in pollinators, especially honeybees.
