Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves!

[veggiechicken]

Fish are planted Roots week so that they're ready the same time as the Chips

[Lumpy]

All my good intentions just evaporated over night this year.......I WAS going to repeat sow my little heart out........nope didn't quite managed it.

I am going to copy out your roots, shoots idea thingy for me to have a go at - Ta very much.

p.s does anybody want a beetroot that is now the size of a football and too tough to eat? I suppose it could be carved into a C deccie.

Ok VC are going to extend the system to buying the seeds as well?

[veggiechicken]

I think I have all the seeds I need, Jason This is a way of getting them out storage and into the ground

[Penellype]

I think I am a bit out of sync with this - I've just sown basil for microgreens.

I suppose basil does have roots...

[veggiechicken]

Oh No, Penellype
I don't know whether basil is a shoot/stem/stalk or a leaf ....................


but, its NOT a root

I think if I am eating it as microgreens it would qualify as a shoot. I'm just disorganized

Since when had that stopped you?

So if garlic is a bulb and leeks are a shoot, what is elephant garlic (which is in fact a leek) if its grown for the leek leaves and the garlic bulb?

[veggiechicken]

You're not concentrating, Jay-ell. There has been no mention of "bulbs" Leeks and onions are "Shoots", as is garlic and elephant garlic. The "bulbs" shoot out of the ground, therefore, its a shoot.
I rest my case, m'lud.

Actually, one of the problems I have with moonplanting is not understanding the categories. By making my own rules it makes it simpler................until people like you come along and try to confuse me

[Jay-ell]

Right, so beetroot are roots, leaf beets are leaves and the thinings from my beetroot is use in a salad - probably more plants get thinned that grow roots so when would I sow - root or leaves,

When would you plant grapes? I guess I'd plant them as leaves.

[veggiechicken]

Beetroot are - as it says in the name - Roots!
Leaf beet are leaves - s'obvious.
This is a sowing regime - not a picking and eating one - so you sow according to what they are.
As for grapes, I've never sown a grape

Jay-ell is just trying to confuse you VC. just work out what he is saying--- then tell me for he`s confused me

[veggiechicken]

I don't know how he thinks he can confuse me, rary. I know exactly what I'm doing here

That would depend on whether the Grape in question was a nut.......................
