Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week saw the moon descending in the constellation of Leo/Lion and approaching a full moon and Luna eclipse.
The Lion is a stimulating and warming constellation which is good for sowing fruiting plants which at this time of year is aubergine, sweet and chilli peppers, melons and tomatoes. All these warmth loving plants germinate around 20oC.
Tomatoes can germinate at lower temperatures; I'll be starting these in my polytunnel whilst the other plants will get started in an insulated propagator.
This year I'll be trialling 10 heirloom beef tomato varieties, as I hunt for the healthiest and most flavoursome tomatoes around.
If you'd like to try these tasty and rare tomatoes this year, please join our WhatsApp group through this invitation link:
