@samstonehill, I had never heard of lunar planting till I read your post, it is interesting really. I know that some people say that the waves of the sea are subject to the moon so it would make sense if other things like plants would do the same.

It is something that I am going to have to look more into, back in 1919 is a long time ago but I am guessing because of the war people needed to look at the most productive time to plant food for themselves otherwise they would have gone hungry.

I also love how colourful your pots are, what paint did you use on the plastic? I would like to have something like that on my allotment. :D
