Growing with the Moon in November

Good blog MG. I am assuming that planting all shrubs etc from my pots want to be planted the same as root ver to encourage root growth

really interesting moongrower, enjoyed reading about these dates and times,i have some broad beans donnah kindly sent me so will pot them into pots now, thankyou :o))

Hi Sanbaz this is the info for November you should not do anything with your broad beans until Monday or Tuesday as you eat the fruits of them.

Pip shrubs should be planted/transplanted not on a root day but when the moon is descending and if possible waxing - this doesn't actually happen in November so your best time to plant would be on 8 or 9 November when the moon is descending and waning.

ok thanx moongrower will pop that on my calender :o))

You're welcome Sanbaz.

MG Although all I'll be sowing will be a few flowers, I shall definitely follow your advice.
I have long been convinced that my moods are definitely affected by the Moon. I am a Cancer subject and often feel my best when the moon is waning and vice versa when it is waxing. I had no idea that different times of the year were important too in relation to the moon. It is far more complicated than I realised. A lot to learn MG.

Hi Mad it is a huge subject and not one that I claim to be a real 'expert' on but I do follow intently. Good luck with the flowers :-)

Thanks for the advice MG. I won't have moved house until at least the 12th so that dates no good to me. Looks like I will have to do as usual and take pot luck.

Pip just give the shrubs lots of t.l.c. and I'm sure they will be fine :-))

Love the blog MG and find it fascinating.

Thx. Ian

:~))

This is fascinating MG, I have never realised the impact of the moon on horticulture. made very interesting reading.

Thx. DrB - see my pm to you.

That is really fascinating, I had no idea the moon can influence growing.

Sandra :o)

My sceptisism and sarcasm will come out ...I apologise in advance, and mean no direct or personal offence ... are you suggesting that when the moon is full, plants grow better, quicker or whatever? I do not see any plants bending towards the moon or its cycle, but just towards the light or in the case of a tree, because of the prevailing wind. Sunflowers follow the sun to ripen their seed. The grass grows because it has water and LIGHT, not because the moon is falling or rising. The oceans are a body of water, not attached to the land, only responding to the GRAVITY of the moon. Plants, however, respond to light and earth, they do not have enough water in them to respond to the pull of the moon.

The moon influences nothing unless it is water and gravity based ... think about it ...

Avkq, I started to write a long reply then realised this is a post from over two years ago! Why you've decided to suddenly respond to it I have no idea. I will say only one thing everything is at least 80% water and subject to gravity... I really have no desire to discuss this topic with you.

Just following your suggestion to read your blog about the subject following query on GOY from laburnumway about a veg plot ...

Sure.. have you found the whole set interesting? I still post one a month as some of the Goyers appreciate the info. At the end of the day you agree or you don't - it honestly doesn't bother me. Having worked this way for years and run trials which I documented in magazine articles I believe it does.. up to you if you believe or not. I'm not here to tell you this is the only way to grow veggies.

It was very interesting, MG, and I respect your view on this, but cannot join you in it ... I am politely scathing ... one man's meat is another man's poison! There are so many ways/methods involved in gardening ... each man to his own trusted methods and experience. :-)
