Moon Trial

Posted 02-05-2008 at 03:08 PM by zazen999
Germination and activity since 20th April.

Moon:

1c x 1, germinated on 29th - 39 days
2c x 1, germinated on 1st may - 30 days
2d last one, germinated on 26th - 23 days
3d x 1 [26th] and 1 [28th], - 15 and 17 days to germinate

Non-moon:

1w - 1 onion germinated on 23rd - 37 days
2w x 1 [28th] and 1 [30th] - 33 and 35 days
2y x 1 on 23rd - 22 days
3x x 2 on 25th - 18 days
3y x 2 on 23rd - 14 days

repotted
1a lettuce on 23rd
1b tomato on 25th
2a lettuce today [2nd May]

1y lettuce on 28th
1z tomato on 30th

Now for the interesting bit.

The lettuce, tomato and calabrese are looking, in general [taking a look straight across the first and second sowings] better on the non-moon sowings than on the moon ones.

By this I mean, they are stronger looking, bigger leaved and just look sturdier.

Time will tell, but it's looking better for the non-moon seedlings at the moment.
