From The Lunar Garden: Planting by the Moon Phases by E. A. Crawford. Two excerpts from the article: The Influence of the Moon Not only does the gravitational pull of the moon affect the tides and rainfall, but it affects the air currents on the surface of the earth as well. Plants are extremely sensitive to any tiny energy fluctuation…. Lunar winds on the earth’s surface, moving at l/20 of a mile per hour, are too minute to be felt on the human skin, but they come, as do tides, twice daily. In the morning they flow east, in the evening to the west, influencing the growth of plants as surely as sunshine and rainfall. Why the Moon Phase System Works The time at which a seed is sown is the beginning of its life cycle. Final plant yield, as every gardener knows, is crucially affected by the conditions encountered by the seed…. tinyurl.com/5v4wp7

The first link works for me.
I don't plant by the moon. I've tried it several times, but couldn't see any difference in either the plants or the amount of produce I got, so I quit fretting about it. Now I just try and plant between rainshowers.
