Based on the excellent thread here. I've decided to try some biodynamic veggie growing, and thought that i should start my own thread, otherwise I'd just clutter up VVG's thread with my naive questions 
I'm not only new to this lunar planting, but I'm new to planting in general, so while I'm more than happy for any questions, please don't expect a good answer
I'm using the following website to know what 'element' I should be planting The Gardeners Calendar, and this Moon Calendar.
The very basic principle is that food is split into four categories/elements: Earth (root), Air (Flower), Fire (Fruit) and Water (Leaves). Depending on what constellation the moon is in depends on what you should sow... Simples, right
So, I've already planted 8 cloves of garlic on Thursday, which was an 'Earth' day, then went to the garden centre today to stock up, 25 packets of seeds, 2 blackberry and 2 raspberry bushes later, I'm ready.
What I have:
EARTH/ROOT:
Garlic (already in)
Parsnip
Spring Onion
Onion
Swede
Beetroot
Carrot
Leek
WATER/LEAVES:
Lettuce
Spinach
Swiss Chard
Kale
Salad Leaves (mixed seeds)
Brussel Sprouts
Cabbage
AIR/FLOWER:
Cauliflower
Broccoli
FIRE/FRUIT:
Pepper
Chilli Pepper
Sweet Pepper
Tomato (2 types)
Melon
Butternut Squash
Squash
Cucumber
Please bear in mind that I may have made mistakes in the classifications of seeds above.
They'll be grown on widowsills/containers/raised beds, wherever there's space! Maybe a plastic greenhouse.
