Are you doing biodynamic again or synowhatiscalled this year vvg?

I'm back to biodynamic but have sown some synodic alliums with bio ones to do as a compare and contrast I figured alliums would be a good one to go with. Which are you doing cheeky boy?

[Potstubsdustbins]

I'm in this year too I have no studying to get in the way at the mo., and I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of a 'Grow Light Garden' so I (hopefully) won't even have legginess to worry about! Whoohoo!

Sarz I bought one of those last year and it was very successful. I found it a great help to have 3 side covered with baco foil, this adds greatly to the light.

And there I was busy planning to plant in a couple if months , but no ! Going to have to have a go now and plant by this lunar timing. This really interest me but I haven't looked into it . This could be the year to do just that .

2nd is also a fruit day for those wanting to plant lunar style.

Cheeky? Moi?

I might give it a go properly this year, I didn't last year. Probably be bio if I do, as you get the few days (I think?).

Yes that's correct. Synodic is week by week based on the waxing and waning phases of the moon. Biodynamic is based on the moon's path through the constellations.

And yes, you are cheeky

You do what your like. It's just the early bush tomato thread with sowing on 2/3 Jan if you want it moon planted.

Does it have to be a bush variety ? I was gonna do Amish paste (saved seeds from Bin's) & an unknown big blackish one that I got given & saved seeds from

[VirginVegGrower]
