Nope and nope. I knew you'd be confused.
I aim to sow seeds on a Monday, weather and mood permitting and they're sown wherever appropriate, never mind what VP it may be. If its Roots & Shoots week, I concentrate on those all week - sowing, thinning, transplanting, whatever they need. Then they're ignored for the next two weeks as its the turn of Fruits and leaves. It means that there is a 3 week cycle for sowing the same type of seed to maintain successional cropping.

I'm excited.
I bought a YS/half price Pukka Pad Project Book today. Its divided into 3 sections and each section has more than 17 pages in it. I stopped counting at 17 - its probably about 25. There's a section for Roots& Shoots; Fruits; and Leaves and a page in each section for the 17 Ticks that make up the year.
Its perfect for me - I couldn't have designed it better if I'd tried.
I may not sleep tonight.

I've something similar which I got cheap when Paperchase was closing down, lots of sections for different veg. I had hoped to write salient points to remember about each variety to save trawling through the daily diary to find what I'd written about a particular plant. Needless to say the enthusiasm wore off but I hope to start again next spring - along with the garden balance records.

The Luna-Tic calendar for 2025 starts today with Roots and Shoots. Just saying as I'm sure lots of you will be joining me.

A little Update!
1. The Pukka pad didn't last long as the pages weren't big enough for my waffle! .Need to rethink this for next year.
2. I'm adopting "The Rule of Three" in 2026.
Each week I have to sow 3 types of seed, - During the Roots & Shoots week it'll be 3 different Roots or shoots. Then 3 x Fruits and finally 3 x leaves. All year round - no excuses for winter!
That'll be at least 9 different seeds sown in each "Tic"
3. Every day I have to eat 3 different things from the garden. Preferably freshly picked but stored or frozen is OK. I'm calling these little harvests "Tickles" as they'll "Tickle" my palate.
I'm sure this is crystal clear - even to JJB.

I've got a headache trying to figure out your thought process? It's all 'Clear as mud' to me, but whatever turns you on!
