Planting Seeds 13th March 2010

Earth Constellation, root vegies, moon descending and waning, Capricorn
Had to get everthing planted before 11am. After 11 moon moved into aquarius and air and this is the best time to plant for flowering plants.

Planted lots of garlic in bags and doing a trial (see photos) to test out companion relationships.

Made up bags (can be moved around)

Just Garlic - my plan is to have these in movable pots as garlic discourages pests so i plan to put some pots round the tomatoes in the greenhouse and move them round the garden as needed. Garlic can also be mashed up and made into a spray as an insectiside. Garlic is also meant to keep away mosquitos so I am hopeful that if we put some round the decking it may reduce the midgies.




Garlic and spring onion and carrot- onions and carrots planted together keep pests off each other.
Celery and carrot - not sure what my thinking was here.
Carrot and raddish - get on well together according to my book
carrot and garlic and red onion
Carrot and Leek - good companions.



In the garden we planted red onion and raddish and have to cover them with fleece as the crows like digging up the seeds and small plants.
