Beltaine Seed Thought - the ritual of planting

Finally (in October) getting to write up my seed thoughts throughout the year. 2020 has been a sh-one-t year but the blessing we've had is a house to renovate and garden to create. The first job I could do was to create a vegetable patch from an overgrown corner in the north but facing east and receiving sunlight from the west between Eostre and Ghol Dheys.
At Eostre plant the following:

  1. Broccoli Purple Sprouting
  2. Beans in a green house
  3. Leeks in a green house
  4. Tomatoes in a green house or propagator
First new moon to full moon after Eostre (depending on local weather) plant
  1. Potatoes
  2. Chard and Spinach
  3. Climbing Beans outside, as long as the weather feels warm enough
  4. First Beetroot sowing
  5. Leeks outside
At Beltaine plant the following:
  1. Pumpkins
  2. Butternut squash
  3. Courgettes
  4. First lettuce sowing outside

Beltane blessings

May the Lady's touch again,
Rest upon the barren plain,
With the sunshine and the rain,
Let the sleeper awake!
Beltane magick here we sing,
Chant the rune and dance the ring,
Joy and blessing shall it bring,
Let the sleeper awake!
Doreen Valiente

My personal Druidry is about living Life As Ritual as William Morris said "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful" however I prefer to join it together in the useful function and the beautiful form. Ideally the object has both form and function. As can be seen from the photo' there's a way to go in beautifying the form.
