Little problem…
The lunar phases have this particularity in April: a new Moon on the 1st and a second on the 30th. The situation is complicated for its name. Normally, the Red Moon occurs between the April New Moon and the May New Moon. So the real redhead will be shifted later in May. The saying “The Red Moon burns the young shoots” means, towards the end of April or the beginning of May, that the buds turn red under the effect of the cold.
