Gardening in the Moonlight

Albert and I spent the early part of the year in New Zealand farm sitting, I will tell you about it later.  Whilst Albert was cutting the grass (which took 3 hours) I read gardening books and other things too.

Some gardening magazines in New Zealand suggest you garden by moonlight, what fun!  I have sorted myself a moon calendar and learnt the basics of waxing and waning – times between full moons etc. and I know all about vitality on the rise. 

Now back home in England I have attempted to put into action what I have learnt – Albert despairs of me and my neighbour is not too impressed; as for the cat he is totally confused.
