I did quite a bit in the Magic Garden. I tidied up the blue berry patch by the back door and moved the troughs around. I’ve planted French Tropadome garlic cloves in between the kale plants at the back. I also planted 3 pulmonaria under the apple tree - pulmonaria Pink Dawn, Sissinghurst White & Blue Ensign from right to left behind the tree. Ben cat kept an eye on both me and his beloved nip plants.

I am not sure how much I take note of the phase of the moon - it is currently waxing with the next full moon in a week. I think I understand that during this period I should not have planted the garlic as it is a root crop but on the other hand this is the end of January so if it does not grow I think I will blame that rather than the moon. It is though supposed to be a good time to start off plants that are leafy and above ground. I have sowed rudbeckia Rustic Dwarf mix today and will start some stevia too. I will though also be using the ‘sunlight’ lamp to substitute for the lack of light and windowsills available to me.
