You will not have to get up in the middle of the night to sow your carrots! Country folk know that planning their work in harmony with the rhythms of the moon, produces better crops. It is that easy. Tap into the energy cycles of the moon the organic way and get: higher yields; better flavour in vegetables; stronger displays with heightened colour in flowers.

This down-to-earth gardening guide computes everything you need to know about the daily influence of the moon and planets. With its 15-month daily calendar, it is an essential timetable for the year ahead and a fine means of self-discipline for keen gardeners.

Author, Nick Kollerstrom, a scholar of lunar science and its effects on plant growth, is the lunar gardening correspondent for BBC Online. Gardening guru, Ken Wyatt, includes a seasonal guide to organic vegetable production. Together they have provided a year-round recipe for naturally higher yields in vegetables and flowers, better flavours and scents and heightened colours ñ an essential gardening manual for all seasons.
