Here is a summary of the dates that Claire, Lou and I discussed on the last episode of Dig-It Gardening Show on Saturday 12 September, covering the period between 10 September to 10 October 2022.
Optimal times for PLANTING
11 Sep (3rd Quarter Moon in Pisces) – Fertile time for longer term planting, perennials and trees. Attend to root crops. Deep watering of trees.

28-30 Sep (First Quarter Moon in Scorpio) – Very fertile time for sowing seeds, especially vegetables with seeds outside fruit / flower. Plant for strong, study growth of vines, plants and roots. Also a good time to till soil and turn compost. Good for transplanting and propogating.

7-8 October (Second Quarter Moon in Pisces) – Highly fertile time for planting, sowing seeds, propagating and transplanting to promote vigorous growth. Especially good for fruits / vegetables with seeds inside the fruit / flower.
