Spring work in the garden
Already at the beginning of the month, you need to harrow the soil dug up in the fall as quickly as possible, sow early vegetables, install temporary film shelters, sow fast-growing cold-resistant (mustard, phacelia) green manure in the beds that will be occupied by heat-loving vegetables.
Now they sell collapsible greenhouses of various sizes. They are installed over the prepared bed in a few minutes. You can simply cover the bed with a frame covered with film, or insulate the area with film on the arches.
The simplest shelter will allow you to get seedlings of radishes, lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions sown with nigella, kohlrabi in more early dates than in open beds. Seeds of cold-resistant crops begin to germinate at low positive temperatures, but if the microclimate is warmed by several degrees, seedlings will appear faster and plants will develop more actively.
In addition to Lunar's tips sowing calendar, summer residents use nature’s hints:
On open beds They begin to sow in April, when crocuses bloom in the garden.
A small greenhouse can be equipped for sowing seeds and picking tomato seedlings. You can sow dry tomato seeds directly into the garden bed and cover the arches with film. The result will be low film tunnels that will provide favorable conditions for friendly shoots and at first the seedlings will be protected from changes in April weather. On warm days, such shelters can be slightly opened or removed, accustoming the tomatoes to direct sun rays, wind, and in May, remove it altogether.
The birch trees have turned green - we are planting potatoes.
At the beginning of the month, we continue to prepare potatoes for planting: while inspecting the tubers, we remove diseased, unsprouted ones with thread-like sprouts.
Some summer residents germinate cleanly washed tubers in plastic bags, having previously made holes in them. In more wet conditions Not only eyes, but also roots begin to develop on the tubers. It’s just important not to break off both during transportation and landing.
When warm weather sets in (the birch trees turn green), we plant potatoes, even if the eyes of the tubers have not reached the required centimeter length: the tubers become more active in the soil faster.
First daffodils for early cabbage
In the second half of April, we plant hardened seedlings of cabbage - Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi - into the beds. You can navigate by the flowering of early daffodils growing in the sun. In cool weather, cabbage takes root well and begins to intensively grow leaves. In case of severe cold weather, it is necessary to provide temporary shelter for plants non-woven material, film.
When the soil in the greenhouses at a depth of 10 cm warms up to 14 degrees, we plant tomato seedlings in unheated greenhouses. To plant seedlings or sow cucumber seeds, we will wait for warmer weather. Cold soil is fraught with these heat-loving plants root rot.
If the soil in the greenhouse has not been changed for a long time, it is generously moistened with extrasol solution: 10 g (tbsp.) per 10 liters of water, consumption - 7-8 liters of working solution per square meter. m. This helps to populate the soil with beneficial microflora and suppress pathogenic ones.
Around the middle of the month, at home or in a greenhouse, we sow the seeds of cucumbers and zucchini in separate cups, so that in May we can plant the not overgrown seedlings in open ground.
Nightshade seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants) for open ground dive, feed (1 g complex fertilizer per liter of water), we begin to harden to outdoors. In April, it is not too late to sow tomatoes as seedlings - in small cassettes or cups, so that in May (without picking) they can be planted in open ground.
We try not to spoil the seedlings that have begun to outgrow: we lower the temperature (open the windows or take the plants out onto the loggia), water less, do not feed with nitrogen, and improve the lighting.
At the end of the month, we dig up green manure (both overwintered and sown in spring) in areas allocated for planting seedlings of heat-loving crops.
Lunar calendars for the following months:
Real spring has come! In April, the seedlings on the window sills turn green, and you can’t wait to plant the seeds and seedlings on your plot in the open ground. April– a month of active cleaning, pruning, preparation summer cottage for the season.

Unfavorable days
April 22 – Sown plants sprout slowly on this day, but have a strong root system.
Favorable and unfavorable days, on which work with plants and the earth depends, are directly related to the phases of the Moon.
Choosing the most suitable time for sowing, planting and replanting crops is not difficult. Having realized that sap flow in plants depends on the phases of the Moon, a simple calculation is carried out.
As the Moon grows, the movement of sap in plants is concentrated in the upper part, while the roots weaken and are often injured. Plants planted at this time gain strength in the above-ground part.
Accordingly, crops that bear fruit above the ground are planted: peppers, pumpkins, tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, watermelons, zucchini, physalis, eggplants, legumes and others.
When planting, you need to carefully handle the root system of plants, as they can be damaged.
The waxing moon is a favorable time for active growth, propagation, cuttings of plants.
During the phase of the waning moon, plant seeds are sown and crops that bear fruit in the ground are planted. Sap flow in plants during this period actively takes place in the roots.
The waning moon is a good time to care for your garden, flower garden, and fight pests and diseases.
It is better to fertilize the soil during the waning moon so that the earth can absorb all the beneficial substances.
On the Full Moon and New Moon, and on the two days closest to them, sowing and planting are not carried out, since the likelihood of plant development during this period is reduced, which leads to a poor harvest.
After the New Moon, plants that bear fruit above the ground are planted, and after the Full Moon, in the ground.
On the first lunar day, it is not recommended to plant, sow or replant plants; you can feed them.
The 23rd lunar day is extremely unfavorable. Planting, replanting and sowing of absolutely any crops are not carried out.
The 24th lunar day is considered the most fertile throughout the month.
During the Moon's revolution, it passes through all the signs of the Zodiac. This affects plants no less than the phases of the moon.
Passage of the Moon through air, water and earth signs promotes sowing, planting, hilling, mulching and watering plants.
Fire signs suggest loosening the soil and weeding the plants.
The days when the Moon is located in the signs of Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio are considered the most fertile. Sown and planted plants these days give an excellent harvest.
The average productivity signs include Libra, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces and Gemini.
Barren periods are considered to be periods when the Moon passes through the signs of Aries, Aquarius, Leo, and Sagittarius. It is better not to sow, plant, pick and graft on such days.

Experienced gardeners and gardeners advise novice plot owners to view the lunar landing calendar. It has long been known that the phases of the Earth’s satellite directly affect the growth and development of garden crops. For example, during the period of waxing of the Moon it is recommended to plant certain types of crops, and during the period of waning - others. If you do everything correctly, you can increase the yield by 30%.
The biodynamic rhythm of the plant largely depends on the position of the Moon in the sky. Remember the moments when you happened to get up “on the wrong foot”: on such days everything falls out of hand, your mood deteriorates because of any trifle. Same with the plant. If you “wake up” (sow) a seed at the wrong time, the plant will grow sluggish, develop and bear fruit very poorly.
In order for the growth rhythm of a particular crop to coincide with the rhythm of the Moon, you need to track favorable days for planting according to a special gardener’s calendar. To do this, you don’t need to take an astrologer’s course, you just need to understand the phases of the moon. There are only four of them:
- New moon. It is often believed that the new moon is best time for starting, but this does not apply to sowing work. These days, it is better to do landscaping, but not to plant seedlings or seeds.
- Waxing Crescent. The energy of the Earth's satellite is pulling plants upward these days. This favorable period for crops whose fruits are located above the ground. As for fertilizers, these are ideal days for mineral fertilizing with chemical additives.
- Full moon. Just like during the new moon, during this phase it is better to take a break from planting and do other things.
- Waning moon. Optimal time for growing root crops and bulbs. This includes potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, radishes, bulbous flowers and more. During the waning period, seedlings of fruit trees and shrubs are planted. In order for the future tree to be strong and healthy, you need to take care of the good condition of its roots. This is the best time to add organic fertilizer.
According to zodiac signs:
- Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, Pisces. These are signs that lend themselves well to gardening. If you or your loved ones were born under one of these constellations, do not be afraid to plant crops, you will succeed.
- Virgo, Capricorn, Libra, Sagittarius. These are signs belonging to the neutral group. Stick to the lunar sowing calendar, then the harvest will not keep you waiting.
- Aquarius, Leo, Aries and Gemini. Your lot is weeding and other chores.

Lunar calendar for the gardener
If you consider yourself a gardener, then experts advise paying attention to the waning phase of the moon. On favorable days for planting, seedlings take root well, fruit trees and shrubs are successfully pruned (in phases 3 and 4), when all the juices rush down, from the top to the roots. But it is better to graft trees on the waxing Moon, if the weather is suitable these days.
Lunar calendar for the gardener
If you decide to start planting vegetables, then everything is simple:
- herbaceous plants whose fruits are underground will delight you good harvest, if their seeds were planted in the garden during the waning moon;
- those who plant crops with fruits that are located above the ground need to start gardening during the growth of the Moon;
- Full moon and new moon are inappropriate phases.
Planting according to the lunar calendar
What to do if you don’t have a lunar calendar at hand, and determining the time of sowing is vital in the coming days? The phase of the Earth's satellite is easy to determine independently, unless there is heavy cloudiness in the sky. To do this, mentally attach a vertical stick to the “horns” of the month. If you succeeded:
- the letter “P” (“horns” are on the right) means the Moon is in the growth phase;
- the letter “U” (or an inverted “P”), then this indicates a decreasing phase.
