A quick search produced little to know actual scientific information on this. The best I found was an experiment performed by a student for a science fair. The quoted text below is from the results section.

I seem to recall it from
The Old Farmer's Almanac, but I haven't bought a copy in years. The Ed Hume guy the lady mentions in my story/link is well known in these parts for his television shows and seed lines. The Wildflower seeds I bought last year are from Ed.
Anyway, today I am going to apply, for the first time, a 4-10-10 commercial fertilizer to my plot and seed Beets, Carrots, Leeks, Green Onions, Spinach, Red Radishes, and Romain Lettuce. If they go, they go, if no, then a Full Moon is only 2 weeks away & I'll plant again. My plots are so small that I never use up all my seeds anyway.
Also starting inside besides my Peas, some Heirloom Tomatos , Heirloom Cantalope, Cherry Tomatos, and some Guords. (My gourds from last year still have not dried!?)
I better hurry,
, as the Moon is already 4% past New and Waxing its Crescent.
