2022 - Good Morning, Afternoon, Night

Respect to you Pros, we all realise how much we depend on professionals like you. Nights can't be easy.

Hello folks I'm back, actually on the ferry home as we speak. I've had a week (well nearly) of no Internet. Its amazing how much a part of life it is and how much you miss it when it's not available. I've been going 'cold turkey'. According to my neighbour, I believe the post has brought the seed swap package, so I'm itching to get home to open it. Thanks in advance Veggie and everyone in the swap. I'm off to browse the threads to see what's been going on for the last few days and which particular madcap scheme V eggie has hatched recently.

Welcome nearly home, JJB. We've missed you - its been so quiet without you.
I do have a loony plan for 2023 but I haven't shared it yet. Not sure that I understand it myself so not point offloading it on you lot yet.

No change there then V. Just so long as you don't persuade me to join in.

I doubt that I can persuade anyone to join in, although there may be some who do it already.

Just for you, Jen, I'm prepared to share.
I'm trying to convert my Roots, Shoots, Fruits, leaves & flowers sowing plan to the Roots, Flowers and Leaves plan that is used in Biodynamic Gardening aka Sowing with the Moon. I've bought the 2023 Biodynamic Calendar to see how it works but I'm so confused by moon phases and other lunar terms that I think the only way I can do it is looking to see what group can be sown on the day and ignore all the clever stuff.
I have until 1st January to work it out.
I can't say that I believe it will make a difference but, if I don't try. I won't know (one of my mottos). .

Madness, sheer madness no you'll not see me joining in there. Don't do change very easily and I have trouble doing what I normally do without added complication. It doesn't stop me enjoying watching you though. Soldier on.

I know 'Moon Gardening' has been around for eons and some folk swear by it.

 It won't happen in my lifetime but I believe our species will be gardening ON the moon at some point in the future!  (I wonder if they will be using Earth gardening techniques?)

You're probably right, Vinny - they're already growing lettuces in space.

Today I went trout fishing at a moorland reservoir, in the snow, with a temperature of minus 2 degrees and got sunburnt on my face!

No fish caught,but such a pictureque setting, not a cloud in the sky and so peaceful, it made for a memorable day, especially as both my sons were with me for a bit of family bonding.

PS Should have been in the 'What I did today' thread.
