I visited one of the nurseries in the afternoon and brought home a wide selection of vegetable plants. It is almost 15 May, the date after which we don't expect frost anymore.
My planting is based on biodynamic calendar although I don't stick too much to biodynamic agriculture as it is too time consuming to do it properly. So, yesterday was a day when plants which bear fruit should had been be planted. Eggplants, red peepers, paprikas, tomatoes and cucumbers found their place in the beds of my garden. I covered them this morning with a veil as it is really hot in the sun these days.
In the next week I will plant celery, leek, tarragon, I have to sow parsley again as well as parsnip, more salad, replant basil and pumpkins. What a list! It takes so much time to do it all. The day was over in no time.

The day was over in no time.I am taking a day off tomorrow. I thought of going to Ikea again to claim my free electric bulbs but I think I will wait a while and see what happens with my kitchen when we demolish it next week. Perhaps the flood in my house had to happen so that I will finally have a kitchen that I like.
It is amazing that there are days when I visit blogs that I like and on most of them there are no new posts. Today seems to be one of such days.

Biodynamic and macrobiotic - they're two terms I'm aware of but I honestly don't know what either really mean. I must add finding out to my to do list.
Macrobiotic is something I have never tried to find out what it is all about. I like food that grows here and that we are accustomed to, more than cooking something 'the Asian way'. Though, it is always nice to have something unusual growing in the garden.
Biodynamic is actually more close to the way of life that our ancestors used to live.
It sounds like you're going to have quite a garden. I just learned about biodynamic gardening a couple years ago from a nice German lady I was working with at the time. I like the idea, but I don't really follow any planting schedules (except frost dates). Basically, my only concession is to buy and plant organically whenever possible.
