Notes From The Garden<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At Rainbow OMG we recognise the centuries long tradition of Moon Planting. In short the different phases of the Moon correspond to growth in in different parts of plants with about 7 days for each phase. The order is Leaf, Fruit\/Flower, Root and Stop. We find this cycle an excellent tool for planning and scheduling of all the regular tasks needed for a functional farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is the last day of a Leaf Week so in addition to planning and harvesting for the market we have been transplanting Spinach, 2 types of Lettuce and Bok Choi, direct seeded Coriander and as well as seeding more Basil, Thai Basil, Celery, Rainbow Chard, Lettuce and Spinach in the Greenhouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
