[trolleydolly]

Giving this a go,

Hoping to see if there are any differences in sowing on a "fruit day" than say tomorrow "root day". Time will tell.....

All of those following the schedule I am going to post it for the next few days as the forum is planning downtime due to maintenance upgrades.
Suggest you jot it down!
Also please keep your sowings diary and update on here when the site is back up and running:-

Today
Synodic: Sow root vegetables, berries, bulbs, onions, biennials, and perennials.

Biodynamic: Sow Root plants like Asparagus, Beetroot, Carrots, Chives, First Early Potatoes, Horseradish, Jerusalem Artichokes, Leeks, Onions, Parsnips, Potatoes, Radish, Second Early Potatoes, Shallots, Spring Onions.

Tomorrow - same as above

22nd
Synodic: Sow root vegetables, berries, bulbs, onions, biennials, and perennials.

Biodynamic: Sow Flowering plants like Broccoli, Cauliflowers, Globe Artichokes, but it would not be a good time to sow Rooting plants like Asparagus, Beetroot, Carrots, Chives, First Early Potatoes, Horseradish, Jerusalem Artichokes, Leeks, Onions, Parsnips, Potatoes, Radish, Second Early Potatoes, Shallots, Spring Onions.

23rd - same as 22nd

24th
Synodic: Sow root vegetables, berries, bulbs, onions, biennials, and perennials.

Biodynamic: Sow Leaf plants like Cabbages, Celeriac, Celery, Dill, Lettuce, Rhubarb, Spinach, but it would not be a good time to sow Fruiting plants like Aubergines (Eggplant), Broad Beans (Fava), Cucumbers, Peas, Peppers, Tomatoes.

25th - same as 24th

26th
Synodic: This is not a good time to be sowing anything in the garden. Instead use this time to weed and harvest from the garden. It is an excellent time to start building a new compost heap.

Biodynamic: Sow Fruiting plants like Aubergines (Eggplant), Broad Beans (Fava), Cucumbers, Peas, Peppers, Tomatoes, but it would not be a good time to sow Leaf plants like Cabbages, Celeriac, Celery, Dill, Lettuce, Rhubarb, Spinach.

Planting by the Moon cycles is not for everyone, I like to do the plantings by the Moon cycle as much as I can, even if there are skeptics that think I'm a lil nutty at my allotment, of course it doesnt help that OH has spread the word that I also dance naked in the moonlight while planting! So NOT true but does he enjoy seeing some shocked expressions lol

Honestly though I have found that when others have complained about a dismal cropping, I find my crops have out produced and shined on brilliantly, each to their own I say as long as your enjoying the efforts- stay true to you.

I also follow a fantastic newletter that I get every week in my email and it provides weekly Lunar planting times, have a look

Just planted some onions with fabulous root system on which I had sown as sets in modules.
Not much today as I am so tired after two days solid gardening.

Would it be really bad if I planted my spuds on Friday ? When's the next root day after that?

[morverngirl]

3 rows of spuds in today and 1 yesterday with help of daughter. Found some purple haze carrot and that went in raised bed in back garden. Found celariac so might plant tomorrow am if time -cat hurt paw and needs to visit vet and that's a priority over celariac. Planting shrubs tomorrow as well and my salad leaves really need thinning out but I'm not sure if they can wait 'til thursday

Tomorrow before 11am is ok. Then its from 9am on 28th to 4pm on 30th

Does it make a difference, or has anyone does this in previous years, where the seeds were sown in compost, and in soil at the same time to compare?


P.s. gardenwitch, I hate you, I have and am going to spend hours trawling through that site when I should be counting my seeds
