Lunar Planting - what have you grown today?

[VirginVegGrower]

So when's good to sow my onion and shallot seed please?

Have put it up for you Bins (and others), if you want to follow Synodic you will need to sow after full moon, 9th January I think from recall. Just to confuse Sidereal for onion today too.

[VirginVegGrower]

Im going to have a go at this! Think im going to go bio. i guess it doesnt matter which one you choose?

Hi SD and welcome. I chose biodynamic last year as it gave me the option of sowing differing veg types every few day and wasn't as restrictive schedule wise as Synodic. I have never followed Sidereal. Do a bit of reading and decide which fits your sowing/growing schedule best. Good luck!

OK tomatoes are sown, but now I have remembered that I have some new pepper seeds...runs off to greenhouse with torch.

[chris]

Grr... I should have brought some toms etc up to my old man's place with me!

[VirginVegGrower]

Want some? Time next week...maybe!

Daughter has sown my peppers....whilst I rebrowse seed catalogues

[chris]

I've bags of toms thanks VVG.. If we go back tomorrow ill sow them then, else whenever we go back!

[VirginVegGrower]

Are you after getting some sown on a fruit day? Plenty more fruit days and synodic fruit on from 31st on. Panic not You nearly received a bag of apples today, but you had sped away...

[chris]

Zaz just said, I didn't realise you were going to see her too.

May stay up an extra day- couple family members etc haven't met the new arrival yet..

[VirginVegGrower]

Well let me know, can hand them to you as you A38

[VirginVegGrower]

OK Lettuce leaves are all up and through, rampantly mad...yeay! Spring has sprung - in my head

[marchogaeth]

Daughter has sown my peppers....

Presumably these and the toms are on a heat pad/prop'. How are you going to keep them growing on? What sort of temperatures are you working at? I'm really curious (not challenging you!). I haven't had temperatures below 2C outside yet, the tunnel is a lot warmer and I'm fleecing overnight as well but growth seems very slow so I'd wonder about chillies etc. You're probably just going to say have a go aren't you!?

The lettuce leaves are in a container on my dining table. No heating in there although it is open from the living room, which has an open fire. The tomatoes and peppers are in modules with prop lids. No heating pads needed and no electric prop either. They are on the windowsill in my living room. As I am the lady of the house I can make the rules when it comes to mess and Mr VVG does not have OCD so he does not mind my greenhouse overflow. Once the toms and peppers are through and a little bigger, they will be potted on and live in those pots in the dining room until I am able to get them into the greenhouse, which we do have a frost heater for. Last year I planted my tomatoes in end March, fleeced them and then we had the wonderful April. I suffered no damage.

OOh a root day. I'm sowing some roots tonight then. Goodie.

[veggiechicken]

What roots Zaz? I planted garlic cloves in modules yesterday - hope they qualify!

[zazen999]

Onions for me! Garlics were done on the shortest day. Maybe a few bootroots.
