Charles Dowding’s Gardening Calendar 2022 (DIGITAL VERSION)

A DIGITAL VERSION OF CHARLES’ 2022 GARDENING CALENDAR  

For a preview please click on the ‘Look Inside’ button (below right).

Once purchased, you will have unlimited access to the digital Calendar via this website, by creating a personal login and then accessing in ‘My Memberships’.

Please note that purchase of the digital Calendar is for reading on the website only, and does not give you the option of downloading its content. It is designed as a digital product which is more reader-friendly than a downloadable PDF.  We are aware that you can’t make notes on the calendar pages, and this is reflected in the lower price.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT DIGITAL PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE ACCESSIBLE VIA TABLET DEVICES

(The print version of  the 2022 Calendar can be purchased here.)

 

The calendar contains photos from Charles’ garden – a large one and a small one for each month, with explanatory captions – enjoy the seasonal beauty of Homeacres vegetable garden, all year round.
Charles has written a vegetable growing summary for every month, 170 words or so.  There are four further pages: one about the benefits of no dig, and three about where to buy seeds, and which varieties to sow.
Each month has Charles’ favourite sowing dates for each vegetable, at their best times of year. Every date is based on decades of fine-tuning.
  • Use these dates to help you enjoy a regular supply of fresh produce through all four seasons.
The calendar sowing dates are for a Zone 8b climate in southern UK. Sow later by 1-4 weeks in spring if your climate is cooler, then sow a week or two earlier in summer and autumn, from the solstice onwards.
Sowing dates are based mainly on season/climate, and partly on moon phases. Charles’ main advice is to sow at the best time of year for each different vegetable. Within that best time, there are sometimes even better times!

Solar and lunar

Charles combines two moon aspects for calculating his sowing dates. One is the phases of root-flower-leaf-fruit, based on whether the moon is passing through an astrological sign with earth-air-water-fire qualities. The other is waxing and waning – where possible, he sows on a waxing moon for faster emergence and stronger growth, especially just before full moon.
The sun and moon give a framework of action; it’s not a rigid rulebook. There are few dates when all good aspects are present.

    Karl – May 17, 2022

    Loving my calendar. Not only does it give you a prompt to get sowing but it is full of pictures of Homeacres which are themselves another source of information for the keen eye!

    Two questions:
    1. Looking at the photos it looks like cover for the brassicas and support for the peas have been [laced ion permanent positions. Is this correct?
    2. Where do you get your hoops or what do you make them from? I’m looking everywhere and not finding anything that looks like yours.

    Thanks for all the info and endless entertainment on winters evenings. way better than Netflix!

      Hi Carl, thanks for your nice comments, and keen eye!
      Actually the brassica supports are never permanent. All of our structures are simply for the duration of each planting, then we remove them. It does not take long for example using a post rammer with two handles, to put stakes in. It’s a heavy piece of kit though.
      The metal hoops are 4mm, high tensile, straightened and galvanised wire or steel which you can buy from sharanya.uk or check out the website of reddifast.co.uk

    It’s really great to have this in digital form.
    I too had a problem finding it until I read the instructions here properly. From the ‘My Account’ page it’s in ‘My Membership’ .
    One suggestion for future years – how about including the equinox and solstice dates?
    Thanks

      Thanks for this Paul, and a good idea
