    All are invited to participate and share your experiences with the various calendars that Cristina has taken the time to share with us.

    Many (calendars) seem to be in conflict with each other, so do what you can to document the day that you sow the seeds, the conditions, and when the sprouts appear, and if they are suitable for growing on. Since we have a variety of calendars from which to chose this year, we can sow something on almost every day. It will be interesting if any are trying out the different calendars, and to see which one works the best for you.

    It does not matter which one you follow or which one you prefer. We are all interested to see what kinds of results we can gather. I, myself, will try a variety and then see if there are different results.

    Feb 2nd-3rd FA - Any Seed Planted Now Will Tend To Rot.
    2 February 2012

    Root Planet: Taurus MOON: First quarter, Waxing gibbous
    Synodic:
    Sow vegetables that produce internal seed bearing fruits. Tomatoes, beans, peas, peppers, chillis, pumpkins.

    Biodynamic:
    Moon in Taurus: Earth sign. Sow Root plants like Garlic, Onions, Shallots, Spring Onions, do not sow Flower plants like Broccoli...

    Sidereal:
    Moon in Taurus: Sow Root vegetable crops.

    So taking all of this into account as well as what I had to sow and the time available, I sowed the following seeds yesterday, indoors, under lights, February 2nd:

    TPS (true potato seeds) 2009 Blue (from a trade)
    TPS 2010 Blue (from a trade)
    TPS Park Seed Zolushka pelleted seed 2010

    Beet Bull's Blood Pinetree Seed 2010
    Beet Chiogga Pinetree Seed 2010
    Beet Cylindra Pinetree Seed 2003
    Beet Ruby Queen Pinetree Seed 2002

    Florence Fennel Pinetree Seeds 2010
