this is my third year of growing by the moon (i use michel gros book ; in tune with the moon) you can get them from amazon! this is a diary and planner and is great, the results are much better year on year, but remember the ground you grow everything in has to be in good heart to produce good results, but i would reccommend this system to everybody, other than the price of the book( £9) this is just gardening as before but using the moons influence to help.

Just as well, as I needed to sow some more aubys - only had 1 of the type I really WANT to fruit germinate

[VirginVegGrower]

Potted on my cukes and chilli peppers. No sowing today for me but roots at weekend and I have maincrop pots, beetroot, parsnips and carrots to get in/sow.

So - should you also do the potting on / putting out on the "type" day? I can just about manage the sowing, but didn't think about other activities!

[VirginVegGrower]

I am but germination is the key here. This is why I am following the biodynamic cycle as you get weekly opportunity.

[chris]

Wait.. you need to pot on at the same times as planting? hmmmmmmmmm.

[Sylvan]

I sowed some tomatoes, butter beans and lablab beans and am about to sow carlin peas and courgettes.

[salilah]

Planted out a tray of beetroot yesterday, and sowed another tray. No other roots as I don't seem to grow that many - don't really like carrots, and parsnips take up too much space!

Flowering - ho hum... I've done most I think - though for some reason I can't seem to get Comfrey to germinate! Any suggestions?
