In episode 061 of Master My Garden podcast which is a solo episode have a look at my latest gardening book called "Moon Gardening" by Matt Jackson. Moon gardening is a subject that I have little knowledge of but it is really interesting and this book is fascinating. In its most basic form the moon gardening involves following the moon's monthly cycle between new moon and full moon and within each month there is a waxing phase as the moon opens to a full moon and a waning moon as it closed to a new moon. Within these phased divided into quarters for moon gardening there are phases best suited to different gardening jobs and affected by the moon's pull. for example seed are best sown at or near full moon when the moon's pull is at its greatest meaning moisture gets drawn up into the seed/ seedling and leads to better germination. Where as planting out is best done at or near a new moon where the pull is less and so the water remains at the rootzone of the plants. I will cover moon gardening in more detail in a future episode but for now I will test a few seeds at different phases and report back.

I also talk about what seed I am sowing now in the tunnel and talk about the varieties I am using to hopefully give me a succession of fresh veggies all the way to winter.
