Lunar Planting - what have you grown today?

[VirginVegGrower]

I know I said I was going to try biodynamic but I came over all synodic and sowed 8 more tommytoes today

SNAP I blame you! Two more...I can't stop! Step away from the compost!

What's with the hairdressing malarkey on that calender link...? Can understand compost and transplanting but hairdressing or do they mean pruning?

I think it does mean its a good day to have your hair cut as it grows back less quickly! Also for hedge cutting (especially if your hair looks lke a hedge as mine does)

Beetroot sown today - Biodynamic roots.

[Strawberry delight]

is it not a little early to be sowing beetroot? or do you find better results sowing them early?

[veggiechicken]

I sowed them on the 12th January last year, in modules indoors. Then planted them out when they're a bit bigger. They did fine last year but I'm no expert and its all experimental gardening with me! I don't have a plot where I can plant a row of seeds and wait for them to grow so most of my seeds start off in pots.

[zazen999]

I've put my first little onion seedlings into the greenhouse.

.....me too and the new seeds are in there in a unheated prop in a blowaway in the GH ( bit like the spider who swallowed a fly )

Date: 8/9th January
Flower Gemini
FULL MOON

Synodic:
Now is a good time to sow root vegetables, berries, bulbs, onions, biennials, and perennials.

Biodynamic:
Moon in Gemini: This is an Air sign. This is a good time to sow Flowering plants like Cauliflower.

Sidereal:
Moon in Gemini: Barren and dry, and yet good for promoting flower growth.
