Lunar Planting - what have you grown today?

[VirginVegGrower]

Nothing - in answer to the original question because the weather is truly awful. The tunnel is chock full of modules that can't even go out for hardening off and plants that should be in beds in the tunnel itself. I'm going to have to do the thing I didn't want to, which is potting everything on but then I'll just need more room! Who said gardening was relaxing?

Snap! That polytunnel has just edged a bit closer

Singin' (gardening) in the rain

I thought it was a done and dusted deal. Just to push you a bit more; I've just come in from a blissful hour or so potting up the bigger outdoor toms and putting my vines into their big tins. I really love being out there with the sound of rain pounding down. It wasn't very warm today (3-4C) but often you can be out there in t-shirt and jeans feeling very summery. SO much nicer than my dark and gloomy and over full shed! (The pic is of some that went in a couple of weeks ago so I could plant spicey salad mixes at the bottom.)

No, it goes with leaf plants because the seeds are carried externally, like a grass or even a brassica.

You can check the reasoning out here. The easiest thing is to go to GC and type in the name of the plant you are interested in. The moon planting is the first line in the info.

[VirginVegGrower]

Courgettes, squashes and some French beans.

Peas day today, double row of Hatif D'Annonay and Charmette in the polytunnel (I know I'm getting carried away), also Goldensweet Mangetout and Champion of England in staggered planting.

See I knew this would happen ........I've totally lost the plot with the moon planting now ......just like my diary has fallen into disuse.

[veggiechicken]

Its OK Bins, You're not alone!
This is what WE do today:-
Garden works with root vegetables, compost works, transplanting, dunging, sowing the lawn, hairdressing fortunately.
As luck would have it I've just planted turmeric root. Hope that counts!!

[binley100]

I've put some gazanias in troughs .......does that work ?

[veggiechicken]

That's transplanting, innit?
