Title: Corn ? Moon Planting

Hi

I am not sure whether corn would fall under the fruting section in the moon calendar - can someone in the know advise please?

Thanks calendula and laursen S

I have only been doing this moon planting strictly since November but I check the weekly website.  What book do you use ?  There seem to be so many on the market you are not sure which one is authentic?

the only ones I have are an outdated 2001 book version by Nick Kollerstrom and a 2005 chart by Michael Littlewood - fascinating though  :)

Kollerstrom publishes every year - currently the book for 2008 is £6.99 from Amazon.

I use the Kollerstrom book, have done for the last 3 years.  Fascinating and I have now converted friends with the great results. 

Corn is definately fruit. 

Didn't like it today as it was a no planting day so weeded instead.  If it's no good for plants it must help against weeds!

It's a flower day tomorrow so in veg terms that's Cauli, PSB etc.

Happy moon growing (I resisted the temptation to say mooning!!)

I use Nick Kollerstrom  also.

Bit stuck today also as it was a no planting day. But I'm all prepped and ready to go for tomorrow. I have loads to pot up sow and plant out.  ;D
