Lunar Planting - what have you sown today

[VirginVegGrower]

Reminder Lunar Planting Schedule 30/4-1/5

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 - Moon in Pisces/Water sign. Sow Leaf plants like Basil, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbages, Celeriac, Celery, Dill, Kale, Lettuce, Rhubarb, Seakale, Spinach, Swiss Chard, etc

Just sowed another length of guttering with salad mix - Italian this time I think!

There are good gardeners and there are poor gardeners.

Planting by the moon won't make a bad gardener good and ignoring the moon won't make a good gardner bad.

Just listen to the plants and give them what they want.

Reminder 3rd and 4th May

Synodic - Sow leafy vegetables and annuals that produce above ground. Lettuce, Spinach, Asparagus, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Sprouts, Sweetcorn, Cucumber. Grains are also good to plant now. This is a good time to pick vegetables if they are to be stored.

Biodynamic - Moon in Aries/Fire sign. This is a good time to sow Fruiting plants like Aubergines (Eggplant), Cucumbers, French Beans, Marrows and Courgettes, Peas, Peppers, Pumpkins, Runner Beans, Squashes, Sweetcorn, Tomatoes, but it would not be a good time to sow Leaf plants like Basil, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbages, Celery, Dill, Florence Fennel, Kale, Lettuce, Seakale, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Fruits Harvested now will store for longer.

Just a reminder that this thread is for people who are following a lunar planting calendar to note when to plant or what they planted when. Discussions over whether lunar planting is good, bad, or indifferent should be taken elsewhere please

Ok, been away for a while (as with last time not on holiday away, just away from the computer) but have still been sowing and growing following the biodynamic moon calendar.

Hope everyone else is well and getting along alright!

[VirginVegGrower]

Just you and I at the moment! I am doing quite well - lots of time spent at the moment on watering and weeding. I am planting/potting on following lunar cycle do you? Interested in whether others follow right through.

[salilah]

I'm here as well - from time to time!
I haven't managed to plant out / repot according to the cycle - it has been enough of a challenge with the sowing :-(
However - this weekend, time to pot on the chillis and aubergines into buckets - which I think will fit?
