PLANTING BY THE MOON - 12 October 2012

I have it on good authority (from Butter Bean in Bay of Plenty actually!) that today is the day to plant out root crops according to the Lunar Calendar.  I’ve been thinking about experimenting with this concept this year, but my husband who is a Physics teacher, is adamant that there is absolutely no science behind it and it won’t make a difference.  We always laugh about it…but I actually want to give it a go!
Well – he’s at school right now preparing for the start of Term 4, so I am going to make a mad dash out to the garden and get these seeds in the ground!  Luckily, I have a great supply of seeds at hand, so out they go:
  • Yates Baby Beets
  • Yates Carrot - Egmont Gold
  • Yates Parsnip - Yatesnip
  • Yates Radish - Salad Crunch
  • Yates Swede - Champion Purple Top
Does anyone else use the Lunar Calendar?  I’d be so interested in hearing from you!  And thanks Butter Bean for your post – has given me the inspiration I needed!  :)
