Growing up we planted potatoes on Good Friday when the weather permitted. I still try to plant at least a few. Good Friday is always on the full moon and vegetables that produce under ground, potatoes,carrots, beets, etc. should be planted on a full moon. Vegs that produce above ground, toms,peppers,eggplant,etc. get planted on the new moon. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. If I remember right it was to help convert the pagans whose lives were centered on lunar cycles.
