Planting fish in the next few days and small spinach

Bree

Got any room for some peas?
they don't take up any GB surface

Do NOT sow root crops as they will go to seed.
Divide and repot.
Plant beans, cauliflower, peas and other winter vegetables. ( only up until the 8th June.)
This will take us into the full moon at 3.35 on 9th June.

Full moon phase-
Ideal for growing edible sprouts
Quick germination rapid growth- very short and weak, spindly growth up until 11th June.

Waning phase- Sap returns to roots-
11-13th June (BYAP workshop)
Sow all root crops,
Treat bugs, weeds and diseases

ah you're so cool

Ivan you taught me everything I know about moon planting. I gained more experience.
I also have Mitch here dictating from the moon god calender.
Joel is also adjudicating, he supposes.

Hey wouldn't it be good if we could infect like swine flu or something
better about BYAP & things like moon planting...
all from the Day/night sky...
Oh and Fruiting annuals are plants with the seed bearing organ as the fruit
they can go in to

I thought the whole idea was codwhallop, so I planted my peas, (sugar snap and snow) and broad beans this time last cycle, and out of 18 seeds I got 17 plants. So as a test, I planted 7 seeds 2 weeks ago and got 3 weak plants that are struggling to go anywhere. Go figure. Tomorrow I will be planting more bok choy, coriander, winter lettuces, raddichio, peas, beans and so forth.

Tell me something I don't know

new moon tonight...
anyone see footage of the lunar eclipse
Do I have to kick any butts out there???

You can kick mine after I get back from sowing my seeds C1..

at least you are honest Rupe

My brother was there to witness it in person. I have some photos, but on my other poota

New moon on Thurdsay!

What is everyone upto?

What should we be doing C1?

Well, showing off his newfound knowledge, KP says:

The last quater is a barren phase, and we should be eating fish, celebrating, getting pissed and harvesting only as we need. Food harvested now wont keep. We should also be getting ready for the new Moon.

Once she hides herself from us, she begins her upheaval once again, beginning the immense gravitational cycle once again.
This will encourage plants to thrive, and bolt upward as there is less resistance to their growth, and the evening light will only increase from this point.

Waiting until the first sliver of crescent can be seen is advised by some ppl, but it will be a time to plant, graft and transplant above ground annuals. Especially lettuces and other leafy greens that seed external to the fruit.

How's that C1? Close enough?
