Seasonal+Moon Planting Guide

I spent ages yesterday plugging into a spreadsheet all of the seasonal sowing times for vegetables and then overlaying the best days to plant according to the moon's phases for the next six months, and it's quite exciting now as I can now tell you exactly what is best planted on the six or seven great planting days each month (according to the moon) for the next six months.

The data is for a temperate climate, NSW, Australia (Southern Hemisphere), 2006, and as the moon phases are different each year the dates change. On the following dates for the remainder of this year, get out into your garden and sow these seeds for maximum results seasonally AND according to the moon's phases:
