This is not really a comment on your blog, but I have some highly unscientific data on Moon planting early potatoes. I have recently (May 2008) taken over an allotment in Stamford, and am experimenting with a few crops on a Moon planting basis. I planted 8 chitted tubers of Rocket First Early on 19/3/09. This is apparently a Fire sign day and very bad for planting spuds, but I went ahead and did it anyway!!! 21/3/09 was an Earth Sign day and I planted another 8 tubers in a row next to the first(thus negating my bad spud karma from my previous act of defiance). Harvest Results 2/7/09:- Fire Sign -2.4kgs (8 plants = 0.3kg/plnt) EarthSign-2.75kgs(8plants=0.393kg/plnt) The earth sign plants had 103 days growth and the fire sign ones 105 days. Cropped a little early, maybe, but the haulms went yellow and fell over. Curious, is it not? keep on keeping on chaps Paul G Caffrey Greetings.
