Very detailed.<br />http://ancientmoongardening.com.au/<br />There is a free monthly day-by-day calender and heaps of information. <br />I figure, if nothing else, it gives a good schedule to follow and makes planning easier. But I do believe that it makes a difference and every little bit helps.<br />Tiny Toadstool Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741553266633373902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-18550021071188730762015-08-28T08:45:05.177+10:002015-08-28T08:45:05.177+10:00Well, a swoonworthy garden is all the encouragemen...Well, a swoonworthy garden is all the encouragement I need Fran:)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-83907039607619637412015-08-28T06:29:05.597+10:002015-08-28T06:29:05.597+10:00My grandmother used to garden by the moon.

A friend who works in horticulture swears by moon gardening and plants all of her gardens accordingly and her garden is swoonworthy. narf7http://theroadtoserendipity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-28523331458890656192015-08-27T21:53:14.096+10:002015-08-27T21:53:14.096+10:00Yep, WW, pretty dodgy:)Yep, WW, pretty dodgy:)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803297366197086152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-52849377990663873902015-08-27T19:17:48.176+10:002015-08-27T19:17:48.176+10:00Yep, I thought it was hippy-dom but I like you pos...Yep, I thought it was hippy-dom but I like you posts, so I gave it a moment, and there you go.

And like Anonymous above, I think I've always harbored some sense that gardening by the moon meant gardening at night, which of course is silly (but actually sounds sort of nice ...).<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-27253739469527342122015-08-27T09:11:48.988+10:002015-08-27T09:11:48.988+10:00Wow, thank you for simplifying that!!Wow, thank you for simplifying that!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149708163105727111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4838234360213313454.post-3934894374163220952015-08-27T08:15:52.329+10:002015-08-27T08:15:52.329+10:00Ha, Lucinda, Woman's Weekly, who'd a thoug...Ha, Lucinda, Woman's Weekly, who'd a thought? Love it, planting at night. And like you, I had an idea that it involved planting on all different days, which would drive me crazy. But at its most simple, just planting in the two major phases of the moon seems to be enough.. even I could manage two days of planting seeds in a month..<br /><br />Marieann, love it!! Clearly the moon planting bods need to do a marketing campaign:) Yes, and like you, I thought it was way too complicated. I will be doing moon planting this spring, will keep you updated..<br /><br />Hmm, Linda, writing by the moon... fascinating! Should we be writing in the waxing or waning moon?

More evidence that it can't be hippy stuff. (Though not evidence that it is efficacious - they also publish star sign predictions.) Don't know if they still do. Remember seeing it when my mum bought the magazine and thinking it looked very complicated and who had time to plant at night. OK, I was very literal. But I also thought who had time to garden every day?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
