If planting based on the moon and what sign the moon is in, the Farmers Almanac calender is behind by a whole day! For example, the FA says best time for tomatoes is 3/20-21-22, but the second quarter moon is in the water sign Cancer 3/19-20-21 according to the calenders at www.zodiacarts.com and www.throughnightsfire.com.

Then again, the FA says their's is a "proprietary formula", so maybe they think differently. So, sorry about posting the Farmer's Almanac version. Use the other two sites if you wish to plant by the moon.
