Saturday-Sunday: Moon in the sign of Aries – Harvest, cultivate, weed, and control pests

... Peppers are harvested at almost any time. They become sweeter and/or hotter as they mature. Many varieties will snap off easily at the stem while others may need a knife or scissors.

Later in the Week:

Wednesday/Thursday: Moon in the sign of Gemini – Harvest, cultivate, weed and control pests.

… Yellow Jackets are very active in the fall months and easily agitated, as it’s mating season. It is recommended that you empty the trap(s), rinse them out with soapy water and add new attractants.

Other 'ToDo' things:

...It's not a bad time to prune the dead wood out of citrus and shape the plant(s). It is normal for citrus to have dead wood in the center of the plant. Also, remove all the sucker growth from the below the bud line. This growth is very aggressive, will easily dominant the plant and will never produce fruit.

...And finally, Lily of the Nile, Agapanthus, do not shed their spent flowers. You’ll need to cut them off with a pair of shears or scissors when they faded.
