Picked up a few more books for the library and starting reading Gardening for Life the Biodynamic Way by Maria Thun (Hawthorn Press, 1994). Which is based off Steiner's Eight Lectures (Rudolf Steiner Press, 2005). Just for fun I created a biodynamic chart for my own February gardening. You do chores at the right time too.
Feb 7-8 (Tue/Wed) is Leo Fruit/Seed time, which I take to mean time to do last minute garden chores. Such as turning in the cover crop. Testing the soil. Weed around the wooden perimeter. Clean/santize tools. Pull the hoses back out. Organize tools. That's probably all I'll get to this month. Unfortunately I will be out of town Feb 11-15, which actually makes me realize I should put all that bed prep on hold for one more cycle and just sow later. But I'll see what happens.
I still want to only experiment in biodynamics with the biodynamic seed. Because it seems more authentic. And it could be less work. It could also be more complicated, maintaining charts for some plants and not others. Although once I got into a groove it would probably be fine. February will show what I can take care of.
