Moon phase & the planting calendar are real almanac data for the Texas Coastal Bend (USDA zone 9a/9b) — note our two growing seasons: warm-season crops also go in mid-summer for a fall harvest. Sun times are figured for your city and are close, within a minute or two. Solunar times are figured from the moon's position — handy for planning, not a guarantee the fish bite. The fortune is weather-lore for fun, not a forecast.
