Lunar Planting - what have you grown today?

[zazen999]

I just stick with Biodynamic when I can; it worked for me and I've done my little bit of research and all showed positive results.

I'm jumping on the Biodynamic Lunar bus too. Its a herbs and flowers day so maybe something from the herb collection will find its way into a pot today. I'm finding it quite exciting to have a system to follow instead of rummaging around in the seed box for something to take my fancy.

[zazen999]

That's what I enjoy most about it - to be honest.

It focuses your mind on what to sow and do - when.

The lettuce leaves are in a container on my dining table. No heating in there although it is open from the living room, which has an open fire. The tomatoes and peppers are in modules with prop lids. No heating pads needed and no electric prop either. They are on the windowsill in my living room. Once the toms and peppers are through and a little bigger, they will be potted on and live in those pots in the dining room until I am able to get them into the greenhouse,

May be you have much better natural light in your house than I have in mine, however come New Year's Eve, (synodic) I will try things like chillies/beans etc and see what happens. I really want to make the most of the mild sheltered climate the tunnel gives me but it's not warm enough for germination at the mo. Thanks.

A little photo of my first sowings

The 4 tomatoes are at the back.

The lettuce is on the right at the front *no idea what lettuces they were, they fell out of a seed parcel envelope onto my desk and as it was a leaf day, I sowed them.

The rest are the onions.

I use really small pots, and grow in those until they need to be potted on; saves compost, water and space.

Didn't sow any flowers/herbs today but there are 3 leaf days coming up. May try some spinach or chard and some more salad leaves.
