i also get myself in these kinds of knots! i am trying to relax more about it this year.
i try to think in terms of – strong roots are beneficial for all plants, so it doesn’t harm to sow anything on a root day.
and flowers and fruit could be interchangable as one is dependent on the other
you can always try later to transplant and otherwise tend to things on their correct days, plus maria thun didn’t seem to care at all what days things were sown, only the transplant day.
You both make interesting points. Dan I think that as later sowings tend to catch up in spring (within reason), waiting is fine.
Ashleigh I do not agree with some of your claims here, such as MT being unconcerned about sowing date. I understand the opposite, that sowing date is key, its the plant’s horoscope, and can later be somewhat modified by planting, hoeing etc.
On the other hand, sowing in good weather at the right time of year, in good soil or compost are more important than moon sowing-dates.Yes, i think number one priority is good soil and right sowing date,
Perhaps the biodynamic calendar is more a potentiation of personal intention , which maybe is more important than actual astrological circumstances , who knows?
If it works on an astrological level then great! If it works because it catalyses the gardener to focus on sowing on a deeper level then also great! If it is a useful calendar then great! etc
Interesting questions arise from the interaction between gardener and plants –

plants and indeed ourselves are mostly water!
As it happens i sowed my broad beans on saturday, a flower day – but it was a convenient time for me to do the sowing, it was dry so i took the opportunity!
and most importantly i was happy doing so!
