Lunar Planting - what have you grown today?

[binley100]

I planted out some spuds not thinking about which day it was until the OH mentioned it ......oopsie....

I potted on some nasturtiums and I planted some sweet peas.

Interesting. I planted my sweet peas on fruit week last month and they have been a tad slow to emerge but they were just in the tunnel without fleece.

Kohl Rabi - De Vienna Bianco and Purple Vienna - this is to "compare" with growing in leaf week also the Bianco is to compare with the Vienna which just runs to long stems too often for my liking so I want to know if it's something I'm doing or the variety.
Celeriac - Monarch-horribly old seed so fingers crossed-in propogator with light.

These were interesting... the De Vienna Bianco shot up onernight and were so leggy an horrible looking that I threw them out and the Purple Vienna didn't germinate at all. So is the De Vienna a "serious root" and won't tend to bolt but the Purple Vienna a "leaf" hence its tendancy to bolt? (Tongue is in cheek here a bit guys.)

The celariac is hilarious. I dollopped the seed into each module, expecting nothing to germinate and I should think I've had 75-80% spring up so they are going to have to be thinned massively. Breaks my heart I'm a single seed person normally.

Off to plant leaves now, the pile of packets on the table is daunting which is probably why I'm here delaying a bit!

Ahhh I meant I had planted out my sweet peas - as in my hardened off seedlings are in my garden, now growing

I'm going to have to start using sow and plant correctly aren't I?

[VirginVegGrower]

Hey - use whichever words suit. I just thought I had not made myself clear

I feel some sowings coming on today

Calabrese maybe and some lettuce...

[Helgalush]

Sown some courgettes and golden mangetout today.

Potted on some black russian and san marzano tomatoes.

Also got to look at our new allotment today!! So I hopefully now have somewhere I can put all these things I have sown!! (Good motivation to get working hard on clearing it!) Its in great shape really, all things considering.

Sorry, not meaning to get sidetracked/chitchatting on the Lunar planting thread! Just happy!

[VirginVegGrower]

Sounds great Helgalush - so pleased for you

[Helgalush]

Thank you

[binley100]

I don't need piccies Helga I'll just mosey on down for a nosey

today I managed to quickly sow some crystal lemon and white wonder cucs, gherkins and some melons (minnesota midget and Amber nectar ) before I had to go and while away some hours at work ) .....got tons to sow still

[VirginVegGrower]

Quick heading calabrese and standard calabrese sown today. Also nasturtiums. Feel another marathon end session coming on tomorrow with lettuce on allotment and more nasturtiums, calendula and French marigolds. Oh gawd and Autumn cabbage, or have I sown that already?!

[VirginVegGrower]

OK 2.5 hours up the Lotty and two dirty feet later, I have sown lettuce and rocket along the rows in between my garlic. More nasturtiums sown in modules. Chard too - I hate it, but the hens love it. Thrown rockdust liberally around my fruit beds and experimental onion bed. Watered everything and picked some rhubarb for crumble tonight.
Weeded and also earthed up the tatties that are poking through.

Oh NO!!! I forgot all about the moon today. I was so busy "inventing" Pseudo root trainer mark 2 and testing it with beans, peas and sweet corn that I forgot today was a Root day
I'll tip them all out and start again on the appropriate day

[binley100]

Pure coincidence that I planted out some roots today ........it's getting to the point where its a case of what I can get done never mind the moon I'm afraid....

[veggiechicken]

You DO NOT mean Pure Coincidence Bins, You are in tune with the moon, and I'm not!
Its a beautiful little baby moon at the moment too, lying asleep in his cradle. I've just been outside to sing him a lullaby!
What was it the men in white coats said - something about too much sun?

[binley100]

but I also planted out sweet peas and strawbs ..........was that when they delivered your nice white coat with the long sleeves and buckles ?
