Perhaps me an' my book shall keep our heads down for a bit then???
I like my system (although I've never yet used it!) it tells me exactly when to plant - I sometimes need a bit of bossing and holding back (but if you tell Mr T I shall deny it).

oooh no i wouldn't want you to keep your head down hun, i am intrigued by all 3 systems, it's just some people are finding it very confusing , which i can fully understand, and i don't want to make it harder for them, so i figured sticking to the basic one on the group would be easiest.

however it will still be interesting to see what your system says for the same days? so we can see a comparison.

Am following Gardening and Planting by the Moon by Nick Kollerstrom (which I bought after a grape mentioned it recently) - is it OK if I join in with you as well?

[King Carrot]

Thanks for setting up the group, I'm looking forward to trying a bit of this - if it fits in with my generally wet and windy weather

I was given a copy of R J Harris’s “Moon Gardening” a while back and took loads of ideas from it but never got round to the moon time planning, sowing and planting bit, so its something I’ve wanted to try since reading the book.
Any help and encouragement is great and I'm sure it will work both ways for everyone.

Just to stick my pin on the board as another generally sceptical guy - I’d stick my money on Moon gardening everytime, rather than the staged NASA moon landing – everyone can see the shadows were in the wrong place in the photos

I sincerely applaude this thread, and too where it will lead, with the fun and excitement that you'll all have along the way, it'll be fab.
I won't be able to join you often, but I hope that when I do, that I'll be welcome.
Personally, I'm convinced that gardening in this direction, is in the right direction.

Just joined this exciting group. I haven't tried any moon planting before, but was bought a book all in French for 2009 ("Jardiner avec la Lune" by Alice Delvaille) for my birthday. I have started trying to follow it so this group will help this dummy understand more about what he is trying to do. The only problem is - how do I get in to the garden when it is saturated with rain????

[Rhona]

I'm keen to try - I'll join and also following Zazen's tomato thread!

[BrideXIII]

welcome all the new ones

47 members!!! i was expecting about 5!!

[raine]

never tried it before, got no idea but am enthusiastic to give it a go!

[Marthaclematis]

I've just joined because I'd like to know more and to give it a go. My Spanish friend who is a keen gardener and THE most conservative and sceptical person you're likely to meet said "Moon Planting? - yes, deffinately - my Grandmother swore by it". So, if Francesca is for it who am I to argue.
