Lunar Planting - what have you grown today?

[Helgalush]

Wasnt meaning to be cryptic, honest guv. What I meant to say is that we have been offered first refusal on a plot at LRAA, but due to other commitments we can't get over to view it til next weekend, but it sounds like a good plot, so fingers crossed....and then I can start asking lots of plot beginner's questions

Yes and a big decision! So far everything I've stuck in has been on the basis that if the weather is good and kind it could go in the garden and if it wasn't it could go in the tunnel. (Hence all the stuff on root trainers (elsewhere) and why most things are in modules) However, anything sown next week really has to go in the garden once its established and I really can't see it being very inviting even by the end of April. The man who's coming to rotovate before I put down plastic is talking about Easter before he thinks we'll be dry enough to avoid soil damage.

I don't think I can face growing stuff and then not being able to plant it and the idea of having to keep moving things into bigger plots doesn't feel very inviting either but I guess that's what I'll have to do. Winge, winge winge.

Yes, I can see potatoes being a real problem. When it's time they will have to go in even if it's a maintenance week, they've been chitting for ages already.

Off to ride the horse. (Hopefully, less complicated.)

Ooh March - a ride through lovely smelling wet fields. Am envious! My pots are in already apart from mains which are going in on Good Friday. Go synodic for this one Bins and traditional at the same time

I've got potting on to do and I'm willing the weeks away, so I can. This week of rest kills me - it's the exact opposite of what I want to do. Am off to feed and mulch in the wet later today. Mothers Day or not!!

Sunny this mornin so I'm off to plant me early spuds

I find I have to do some things though, like taking germinated seeds out of the propogator and putting them into little pots. Some of my tomatoes were getting leggy and had to be put into bigger pots, I don't think they'd even have waited until leaf week. I just explain it's for their own good and get on with it!

Ride was ace, actually trotted round the lanes and had a good look over people's hedges to see what they were doing! (in their gardens - she adds hastily).

The real trouble with this week is it makes me look at the house work and then decide to leave it til house work week (When is that?).

Housework week is always next week, but then this week happens instead. Can you pot on in this week of rest? I always wait until the relevant week or even root week for potting on and planting?

[VirginVegGrower]

OK as from tomorrow synodic rest week is off and leaf/flower week is on!

My aim is always to wait for the right week or root week but these tom's really wouldn't wait. Depending how later sowings do this year I may not start sowing before March next year just because my light levels are so low in the house (cottage windows - nice wide ledges but not much light).

[VirginVegGrower]

I potted on some nasturtiums and I planted some sweet peas. Tomorrow calls for a much busier day.

[Helgalush]

I sowed quite a bit today.
Herbs: dill, bronze fennel, flat-leaf parsley, curly parsley, lovage and lemon-balm.
Lettuce: Butterhead, little gem, oak leaf, fristina and another one that I forgot the name of.
Only a couple of each though so sounds like more than it actually is.
