Lunar Planting - what have you sown today

[VirginVegGrower]

It will as fruit is on 20/21 Salilah!
I only ask as I am trying to follow the cycle with everything but take today for example I managed to plant celeriac accordingly but put my borlotti beans in too on a non fruit day. Spent most of my time weeding...ho hum!

Well, I have so many (oops) aubergine and chilli plantlets that I started on Saturday, did some more Sunday and more to do today! I really should have made a note of which ones I transplanted when, but it's a bit late for that (oops)

Today looks like another root day, so planting out my beetroot should be good - but I've also some lettuce to go out - oh well!!

I have never tried this method myself but I think if the moon controls tides what else has it the power to do?

It is all to do with the pull of water causing differing effects on plant life - would recommend you read through Guide to planting by the moon - The Gardeners Calendar
