A few words about the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day of the year.

About the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day of the year

Daily moon calendar sowing and planting contains a list of works for every day in the garden, flower garden and vegetable garden. The lunar calendar is compiled for those who are passionate about gardening, floriculture, and horticulture. In the calendar, the days of sowing and planting different cultures are recommended based on the lunar phases and the passage of the zodiac constellation by the Moon, as well as agricultural terms.

The lunar calendar gives recommendations on what seeds to sow favorably, what plants to plant, how best to care for plants under the influence of the moon. The fertile zodiac signs Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio favor sowing, planting, and a bountiful harvest. In the days of the infertile signs Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius can be sown and planted certain types plants, mostly ornamental. Under a favorable sign of the zodiac, root crops are planted and sown on the waning Moon, and other vegetable crops, berry and fruit, ornamental plants are planted and sown on the growing Moon. On the full moon and new moon, the lunar calendar does not recommend sowing and planting, these days they are struggling with plant diseases and pests.

Also in the lunar calendar, for each day, the necessary daily work in the garden and garden is listed, the result of which the moon does not affect, these works are determined by the agrarian terms of the area and the weather. In the lunar sowing calendar for these works, we recommend days free from sowing and planting work.

The lunar calendar shows the dates of sowing and planting of many plants. These are fruit and ornamental trees, berry and ornamental shrubs, annual and perennial flower and berry crops. Our lunar calendar tells about favorable sowing and planting dates for almost all vegetable crops bred in the Middle lane, with in a different way cultivation: planting, forcing, sowing, through seedlings, including in a greenhouse, on a windowsill and in open ground.

The lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day contains astronomical information indicating the exact time of the Moon's entry into each sign of the zodiac, the hours of the full moon and new moon, the time of sunrise and sunset, the time of sunrise and sunset and the length of the daylight hours. If the Moon enters some sign of the zodiac during the day, then in the lunar calendar in the column of recommendations for sowing and planting, a note is given before the specified hour sowing, planting and caring for plants according to the recommendations of the previous day of the lunar calendar.

In addition, the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day contains folk omens according to the moon and signs for the harvest from the folk agricultural calendar.

Astronomical information about the Sun in our calendar

If you observe the position of the Sun for a long enough time, for example, for a year, you will notice that its height above the horizon on different days will be different - the largest on June 21-22, and the smallest on December 21-22. IN different years these events fall on different days. These days are called the summer and winter solstices. Twice a year, March 20-21 and September 22-23, the Sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west. These days it's under and over the horizon same time(that is, the day is equal to the night), and therefore they are called the days of the spring and autumn equinoxes. Between March 21 and September 22, the Sun rises north of the east point and, conversely, between September 23 and March 21, south of it.

Traditionally, March 21, June 22, September 23 and December 22 are considered the beginning of the seasons in the northern hemisphere of the Earth: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

We publish information on which days the listed astronomical events fall this year in the daily lunar calendar, which is given above.

How to grow plants in the rhythm of the moon phases

The very topic of the influence on the growth and development of plants of the position of the planets in the zodiac circle, in particular the closest satellite of our planet - the Moon, the interaction of the phases of the Moon and growth, plant development, and the activity of microbiological processes in the soil is interesting.

The influence of the Moon on earthly affairs has been known since ancient times. It is with this planet that the tidal and ebb phenomena of oceanic and sea waters are associated, as well as fluctuations in electromagnetic fields that affect the weather. It is believed that during the full moon, the above-ground parts of plants are filled with juice to a greater extent, and at the new moon, it seems to tend to recede to the roots. In the first case, there is a stronger hydration of the tissues, in the second - some dryness. From here, studies of the influence of the moon on plants take place, and on the basis of the knowledge gained, a lunar calendar is compiled for each day of the current year.

Plants are influenced not only by the phases of the moon, but also by its position in the signs of the zodiac. It is better to plant when our companion is in the constellations of Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. Fight weeds when she is in the signs of Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius. The presence of the Moon in the constellation Aries encourages the collection of fruits - they are better stored. Moving to the constellation of Libra is favorable for watering and grafting, to the constellation of Leo - for mowing and weeding, Sagittarius - for digging up root crops, Aquarius - for destroying pests.

According to the experience of astrological observations, the zodiac signs are divided into productive (fertile): Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, and unproductive (infertile): Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius. Planting and sowing fruit and ornamental plants according to the lunar calendar is best done when the Moon is in a productive zodiac sign.

How is the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day

From the angle of practical consideration, the recommendations of the lunar calendar will be consistent if they correspond to the local calendar dates for sowing and planting crops. Due to dissimilarity climatic conditions, landscape, soil in different areas it is impossible to develop a single lunar calendar. If we calculate the timing of sowing crops in another specific area, then we will get significant dissimilarity. In one case, these will be belated dates, in the other - too early (compare the south of Russia and the Urals). Agricultural work, as well as care and cleaning work, are also associated with the length of daylight hours.

Local folk calendar, traditional experience accumulated knowledge is the main support in practical activities gardener, florist and gardener. For neighboring regions, any lunar calendar needs to be amended regarding deadlines sowing and planting, taking into account the conditions of a particular area. Data on the exact time of the Moon's entry into the zodiac constellation can be obtained from the calendar (tear-off calendar) for gardeners and gardeners or the astrological calendar.

The weather also does not fall year on year - there are early and late springs, which is also taken into account when compiling the lunar calendar.

The dates of the passage of the phases of the moon do not coincide by year. In almost a month, the Moon passes through 12 constellations, called the signs of the Zodiac. On next year The lunar calendar is shifted by 10 days. The timing of the passage of the phases of the moon is repeated after 19 years. Every year, the daily sowing and planting calendar is amended for the specific shape of the season and for the lunar phase.

My strawberry beds have been around for ten years. I, of course, update the bushes. Before, when May and June were dry, I took two buckets from my "plantation" delicious berries and another half a bucket of berries covered with gray rot. If the beginning of the summer was rainy, then I got two buckets of gray rot and only half a bucket of ripe strawberries. It's a shame to share the harvest with some rot! I launched an attack on this bastard. So, step by step - why my strawberries never get gray rot.

For the vast majority of my acquaintances, the idea of ​​“not digging” sounds completely outlandish. Yes, it’s a sin to hide it, my husband (also of the old agrotechnical hardening) looks with pain at the undug beds. Although everything grows and bears fruit well on them. Therefore, in the spring, I allow him to dig something up so as not to radically break his worldview. We gradually get used to it: abrupt changes in habits are not for everyone. I will share my experience of farming "without a shovel".

Vermicelli casserole with sausages and green beans is a great idea for breakfast or dinner. The dish turns out to be satisfying, energize in the morning or replenish the calorie reserves spent in the evening. The ingredients are simple and so is the cooking process. Pasta casseroles are unsweetened - with vegetables, meat, sausages or sausage, and sweet - with dried fruits, cream and various spices. Sweet casseroles are served for dessert. This dish can be made with any type of pasta.

With mushrooms, you can cook an infinite number of not only tasty, but also nutritious dishes, mushrooms are dried and preserved for the winter. It is not surprising that, closer to autumn, amateurs and professionals of "quiet hunting" en masse go out for mushrooms to the nearest (and not so) forest. At the same time, the number of poisonings by these gifts of the forest increases sharply. How to protect yourself from trouble by going to the forest for mushrooms, and how not to become a victim of low-quality mushrooms, we will tell in the article.

As a child, I was delighted with a fairy tale where the main character cleverly hid from the chase. He stuck twigs from a bush into the ground, and a dense, impenetrable green forest immediately grew up behind him. I have been experimenting with twigs since I was four years old. So, summer cuttings are a great opportunity to get a young seedling of the desired variety. The procedure is simple, fast and almost always it is possible even for beginners. Unsuccessful cuttings are associated with an obvious neglect of its basic principles.

Strawberry jam with pectin is prepared quickly and easily. apple pectin(pectin powder) on an industrial scale is obtained from apple pomace. Pectin is added to many familiar products - in candy fillings, ketchup, marshmallows, marshmallows and marmalade. At home, pectin is used to make jam or jam as a thickener. The addition of pectin powder can significantly reduce the cooking time, and therefore save more vitamins.

No matter how modest the country house or household plot, and there is always a place for cucumbers. Experienced housewives they will definitely choose the time to spin a few jars of their cucumbers for the winter. Moreover, with minimal care and observance of agricultural technology, you can grow an excellent crop. At the same time, only organic fertilizers can be used as dressings. What they are, how to cook them at home and correctly apply, you will learn from this article.

Pelargonium "Pinto Scarlet Star F1" is distinguished by its early and abundant flowering, has large flowers with a gradient color from coral at the edges to white in the center, which look very nice against the background of emerald leaves. Pelargonium pleases the eye for a very long time: growers note that flowering continues until the very cold. High (up to 40 cm) bushes are suitable for planting in flower beds, flowerpots and balcony boxes.

Among the plants that came to us from the Latin American rainforests, the magnificent walking iris is far from their most modest representative. Due to its thermophilicity, it remains a room-sized culture for countries with severe winters. Without losing its fairly large size, the indoor neomarika looks elegant and very exotic. Flowers that can compete with orchids are a worthy reward for the special conditions that will have to be created for this plant.

Tomatoes "under the snow" - delicious and beautiful preparations of tomatoes for the winter, which got their name due to their similarity to glass snow globes. In this recipe, I will show you how to cook marinated cherry tomatoes with garlic and dill. The role of snow in the marinade filling is played by finely chopped garlic. If you gently shake the pickle jar or turn it upside down, the garlic will swirl in a dizzying whirlwind, no worse than artificial snowflakes in a glass bowl.

Of the soil fertilizers, the highest content of calcium, but inaccessible, is calcareous fertilizers - limestone and dolomite flour(natural origin), conversion calcium carbonate, production waste nitrogen fertilizers, but more pure in composition than previous products. The action of these fertilizers is very slow. Usually, liming is carried out in the fall, so that part of the applied fertilizers dissolves in the soil and becomes available to plants in the spring.

It seems like only yesterday it was spring. But now summer is at its zenith, mid-July has come. At this time, all plants spend a lot of energy, micro and macro elements to maintain complex processes passing inside them. And to provide them wild bloom, improve the taste of fruits and help to overwinter more efficiently, it is necessary to apply fertilizers in a timely and correct manner, that is, to carry out multi-purpose top dressing. At the same time, nitrogen in them must be minimized.

Any gardener knows that there is no more tedious and thankless task than weed control. Weeding by hand or with the help of choppers and flat cutters takes too much effort and time, and the result, if it pleases, is not for long. You will not have time to go through the section to the end, and in the weeded territories it already reappears weeds. And this is on an already inhabited area, and what can we say about virgin lands! How to quickly and permanently get rid of weeds, we will tell in the article.

Summer is not only holiday season, sun, vacation, warm sea, but also fresh vegetables, berries and fruits. However, today, when looking at the market stalls, the question more and more often arises: is it possible to eat such early watermelons, melons, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, and so on, which could not yet ripen in the open field? Are early vegetables and fruits dangerous? Do early watermelons and melons belong to the category of nitrate products that can cause poisoning?

Instruction

The period in which the main landing work, is considered spring. However, the preparation for this season is worth doing more. At this time, the pre-sowing treatment of asters and the laying of seeds for stratification of coniferous crops begin. Place the aster seeds in a container of potting mix and put it under the snow until March. If you are going to grow spruce or pine from seeds, place them in wet sand and put the container in a room with a temperature of no higher than three degrees until April.

The second half of March is suitable for sowing tomatoes and sweet Bulgarian, if you are going to grow these crops in seedlings, followed by planting in open ground. Before placing the seeds in a container with a soil mixture, hold them for ten to fifteen minutes in a strong solution of potassium permanganate. Seedlings sown at this time will appear before daylight hours are long enough for normal plant development. In order not to, use for backlighting fluorescent lamp.

If you are growing cucumbers in seedlings, in early April, soak the seeds for fifteen minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate, rinse with running water and germinate by placing them in a damp cloth. After the first roots appear, plant the seeds in a container with soil mixture and place in a well-lit area. If you are growing aster seedlings without prior stratification, sow them in a container of potting mix in April.

In April, plums, cherries, apple trees, pears and other seedlings purchased in the nursery can be planted in the thawed earth. in early spring or buried since autumn. Place the plants in the prepared autumn landing pits, straighten the roots and sprinkle them with fertile soil. This is the right time for landing. ornamental shrubs.

At the end of April, loosen the bed prepared in the fall for spring garlic and plant the cloves in the ground.

At the end of April or closer to the beginning of May, when the soil thaws and dries out, plant potato tubers in the ground prepared in autumn. After the threat of frost has passed, seedlings of peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers can be transplanted into open ground. Starting work, make sure that the soil has had time to warm up to fifteen degrees.

At the beginning of August or at the very end of July, arrange a bed for garden strawberries, from which you plan to harvest next year. As planting material you can use well-developed rosettes formed on adult bushes.

Closer to autumn, when the soil temperature is no higher than ten degrees, plant tulip bulbs in the ground. In September-early October, the landing time comes winter garlic. The same period can be used for planting winter-hardy fruit trees and shrubs.

note

The dates are given for central Russia.

Helpful advice

If you want to grow seedlings of tomatoes or peppers and then plant them in a greenhouse, move the seed sowing dates 2 weeks earlier.

Tip 2: Why you need a lunar calendar when working in the garden

The lunar calendar is called, compiled taking into account the changes in the lunar phases or rhythms (the synodic month of the moon). It contains tables with favorable and bad days to carry out various agrotechnical works.

Growing seedlings of vegetables and flower crops, fruit care and ornamental trees and shrubs, as well as work related to preparing the soil for seasonal cultivation, all this can be found in this calendar.

In the lunar calendar, the days are marked according to the passage of the Moon through the signs of the Zodiac, fruitfully suitable for work and vice versa.

What every gardener needs to know

To reap a good harvest, it is important to know:
- favorable days for sowing seedlings and its transplants
- time for plant pest control
- the most effective time for feeding plants
- schedule of agrotechnical measures

The influence of the Moon on the processes taking place on the Earth is quite obvious. These are the ebbs and flows of the seas and oceans, periodic fluctuations in sea level, changes in the Earth's magnetic field. And since in nature all processes are interconnected, certain cyclic processes occur in living organisms under the influence of the Earth's satellite.

The movement of juices within plants depends in part on atmospheric pressure. Moon month lasts 29.5 days, which is shorter than the calendar, during this period the moon goes through 4 phases: new moon; Waxing Crescent; full moon; waning moon. The growing moon gratefully influences active growth the above-ground parts of plants are leaves, stems, flowers and fruits. The waning moon has an influence on the underground parts - roots, bulbs and tubers.

During the periods of the new moon and full moon, living organisms are especially vulnerable.

Influence of lunar phases on plants.

During the waxing moon, the life processes of plant roots slow down. This is a beneficial time for tillage, loosening it, as well as for. Trimming and grafting at this time is not recommended so as not to injure above-ground part trees, shrubs, climbing plants. During this period, you need greens, leafy vegetables and fruit plants, sow lawn grass.

During the period of the waning moon, vital processes are activated in the underground part of plants, roots, and intensive root formation takes place. Active watering with the use of growth biostimulants is necessary for plants during this period. Now is the time for pruning, grafting, and plants.

Planting root crops, potatoes, onions, thinning dense seedlings and weed control are the main works during this period. Can be landing berry bushes because strong healthy root system determines a good harvest.

Full moon and new moon days are considered unfavorable for any kind of work with plants.

On the day of the full moon and in the first 2 days after it, it is recommended to pick berries and fruits. 1 day before the new moon and 1 day after it, they are engaged in destruction garden pests, removal of wild shoots and diseased plants.

In order for the garden to please with a good harvest, it is important to observe the agricultural technology of growing vegetables and herbs. Cultivation activities begin with the selection of seeds, their preparation and adherence to planting dates.

You will need

• - vegetable seeds;
• - prepared soil;
• - pots for seedlings;
• - gardening Tools.

Instruction

eggplant
They are grown in the middle part and in the north of Russia through seedlings, because they have a very long growth period from planting to the appearance of fruits. The timing of sowing eggplant for seedlings for subsequent planting in a greenhouse is the end of February. Eggplants in open ground before the middle March and then under the film.

Salad
The culture is cold-resistant, so you can plant lettuce seeds in early spring, and winter sowing. With early spring sowing, a film shelter is necessary, this will speed up the first harvest. The growth period of head varieties is from 50 to 80 days. Grown through seedlings, all types of lettuce produce a higher quality crop and in early dates.

Dill
It is better to sow dill little by little, but with a regularity of two weeks. Then fresh herbs will be on the table all the time. The timing of sowing dill seeds depends on temperature conditions. For the harvest, you can carry out the first sowing in early April, under the film. Usually, dill is sown in open ground, right on the garden bed, in the third decade of April.

Parsley
Seeds can germinate low temperatures, the plant is able to withstand even short-term frosts. Usually sowing is done in early spring, but winter sowing also gives good results.

vegetable marrow
Usually grown in open ground, since the culture is unpretentious and not very sensitive to temperature. With the seedling method, the crop appears 1-2 weeks earlier than usual. Sowing zucchini seeds for seedlings begins in the second decade of April. Sow in the ground in May.

Carrot
As a plant quite cold-resistant, carrots can withstand low temperatures. Therefore, sowing seeds of carrots can be carried out both before winter and in spring, starting from March.

cucumbers
Cucumbers can be sown in open ground or grown as seedlings. For soil sowing, it is necessary to wait until the soil begins to warm up to + 18 ... 20 ° C during the day. This happens at the very end of May.

tomatoes
Preparation of tomato seeds for sowing seedlings should be started quite early - in early February. Sow tomato seeds in pots in early March. Tomatoes are sown in the ground with seeds at the end of April.

Helpful advice

Additionally, in June, a second planting cycle of parsley can be carried out in order to get another crop of greens before autumn.

The use of lunar calendars in the country gives rise to controversy over their expediency: some summer residents claim that the position of the moon at the time of sowing is the main measure of good yields, while others are skeptical about this.

You will need

• - moon calendar;
• - online service.

The fact that the Moon affects most of the processes occurring in nature on Earth has long been proven: the force of gravity of the Moon affects sea ​​tides and ebbs, scientists have determined the influence of this satellite of the Earth on the change in the electromagnetic field of our planet. Based on this, the influence of the Moon on all living organisms that inhabit the Earth does not seem like a fantasy.

It is believed that depending on the phase of the moon, its influence on flora and fauna changes. In addition, the Moon passes through the sky through all the signs of the Zodiac, in each of them acquiring special qualities inherent in them. The waxing moon affects the rapid growth of the aerial parts of plants, and the waning moon affects the root system, tubers and bulbs. During the periods of new moon and full moon, plants experience a certain amount of stress, they are more vulnerable to disease and suffer less injury. Garden work is not recommended during this period.

On the growing moon, work with the root system and soil is welcome: during this period, the root system is less susceptible to damage, so it is easier to tolerate transplantation. During this period, it is not necessary to cut and graft plants - in the leaves and stems, life processes are accelerated, their damage can adversely affect the condition of the plants. During this period, you need to plant plants on greens, flowers, herbs. With the waning moon, you can not do everything that causes injury to the roots, but you can carry out work on pruning, weeding and thinning seedlings. At this time, you can plant potatoes and other root crops.

The zodiac is divided into four elements: Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). When the Moon passes through water signs, you should not harvest - it will not be stored for a long time, planting during this period will give a rich harvest, but these should not be root crops, but green crops, spices, cabbage.

With the Earth Moon opposite, harvested crop will be stored for a long time. This time is favorable for planting, picking, hilling root crops. The fiery moon is favorable for fertilizing and treating plants from diseases and pests. Damage caused to plants during this period is poorly overgrown. During this period, it is not recommended to plant plants - these are barren signs, good harvest cannot be obtained. The Air Moon is neutral - during this period, all work on planting, processing and harvesting can be carried out.

As you can see, the Lunar Calendar has a right to exist, so many gardeners consult with the Moon. Knowing the basic principles of constructing the Lunar Calendar, it is advisable to compile it yourself, since in magazines data on the Moon are often printed with offset dates and times. Such calendars are more intended for entertainment, you should not trust them recklessly.

It is better to use serious sources about the phases of the moon, if they are at hand. Also on the network you can find a lot of services where you can find out the phase of the moon and its sign with an accuracy of up to a minute. If this method is also not available, you can use the tear-off calendar, which details all the data related to the moon.

The question of when to plant certain crops for seedlings is most often asked by novice gardeners. Indeed, out of ignorance, you can be late with planting and eventually lose part of the crop. In general, the timing of sowing seeds should be calculated according to two indicators:

• the period from the beginning of sowing to the planting of seedlings in the ground;
• the period from the beginning of sowing to the beginning of fruiting.

For example, you can start picking mid-ripening tomato varieties 4 months after planting (120 days), and if you need to get a crop from this crop in the middle of summer, you should make simple calculations and sow on the right dates. So, to collect vegetables on July 15-20, it is necessary to count back 120 days (this is for mid-ripening varieties, 100 and 140 days are taken as the basis for calculating early- and late-ripening varieties, respectively), and also subtract about 10 more days (for germination and survival after ground transplants). In total, we get that planting seeds should begin on March 8-13.

When planting seeds for seedlings, one should not lose sight of whether the crop will be grown in the greenhouse or in the open field in the future. For example, tomatoes from the moment of sowing to landing on permanent place it takes about 60 days, middle lane In Russia, tomatoes can be planted in a greenhouse as early as mid-May, and in open ground - in early to mid-June, from which we can conclude that planting this particular crop can be started in mid-March - greenhouse varieties, in early to mid-April - varieties for open ground.

Using the above method, you can calculate when to plant seedlings, for example, peppers or eggplants. Both crops can be planted in a greenhouse in mid-May, and in open ground - in early to mid-June, however, about 90 days should pass from the moment of sowing to the moment of transplanting pepper, and 70 eggplants. From this we can conclude that that the planting of greenhouse peppers and eggplants should be carried out in mid-February and early March, respectively, and varieties for open ground - not earlier than early-mid March and early April.

First, I will give a general algorithm for calculating when to sow seedlings not only in 2018, but also in any other year. To do this, open the calendar and count back the optimal age of the seedlings from the planting date, plus another 3 to 10 days for germination. We compare the resulting date with the lunar calendar. We choose the right day for sowing seedlings of vegetable crops and flowers, always on the growing moon. If the day of sowing falls on a waning moon, then it is better to postpone sowing for a few days.

And now let's calculate when to sow seedlings in 2018 using the example of tomatoes. Age finished seedlings by May 25, the moment of landing - 40 days. We will add 5 days for shoots. Then the date for sowing seedlings - March 11 - falls on the third quarter of the lunar cycle. On the waning moon, it is good to sow root crops, so if you decide to grow celery seedlings, then March 11 is a favorable day for sowing. And we are waiting for the growing moon and sowing tomatoes on March 20, 22 or 23, on the most favorable days of the lunar month.

Terms of planting other vegetable crops:

• Eggplants and peppers - 55-60 days from germination plus 10 days from sowing to germination. In 2018, we sow from February 18 to March 1, or simultaneously with tomatoes.
• Cucumbers, melons, watermelons, zucchini and pumpkins are planted at the age of 20-25 days, seedlings appear after 3-5 days. In 2018, we sow from March 24 to March 30 on the windowsills and from April 18 - in the ground in a greenhouse.
• I do not recommend sowing all types of cabbage on the windowsill at all. It is very sensitive to lack of light and excess of heat. Good seedlings at home will not work.

Do not forget that seedlings thermophilic plants sensitive not only to heat and soil, but also to lack of lighting. When sowing in February and March, it is worth considering the possibility of additional illumination. Or shift the sowing dates for some crops to April, when the daylight hours become long enough and the sun bright. Planted in open ground, later seedlings will take root more easily and quickly overtake those sown in March.

Instruction

Seedlings are brought into the greenhouse by about May 10-20, and on open beds planted no earlier than June 10, since frosts on the soil are also possible at the beginning of summer.

Expect seedlings to appear after your sowing in 3-15 days. It is also necessary to take into account the age of the seedlings, which it must reach before planting in a permanent place. It takes 2-3 days for a plant to take root.

Here is an example of such a calculation: a celery seedling is planted in a garden around May 25th. Subtract from this date the optimal age of the plant, it is 70-80 days, subtract another 15 days that will take to germinate, and a few more days to adapt. It turns out that you need to subtract about 95 days from May 25. It turns out that you need to sow celery seedlings after February 25th.

If you need to get the first harvest by a certain period, consider the duration of the growing season of the plant from planting to the appearance of fruits. This time is indicated on the package with seeds.

The early growing season is approximately 100 days. The successful age of seedlings for moving to a permanent place is 45-50 days. Sprouts sprout in 7-8 days. Seedlings are planted in the greenhouse around June 1. Goes out to get a crop of tomatoes for fresh lettuce by July 20, you need to sow the seeds 100 days before this day, plus a week for shoots and a few days for adaptation. It turns out the date is April 1-8.

Cucumbers, zucchini, melons are more early-ripening crops, but they tolerate transplanting into the ground worse. Start growing them in separate peat pots. These are very light-loving plants, so it makes no sense to sow them earlier than April 10-20.

If you have heated greenhouses, plant tomatoes and peppers in February or early March. Then you will start repotting plants in late April or early May. There is no need to rush, there is nothing good in overgrown seedlings.

To make it easier for you to navigate the dates, the following are the landing dates of the most popular on summer cottages Plants: Celery. Ground - May 25. Seedling growth - 70-80 days. Shoot - 15 days. Sowing seeds - after February 25. Sweet pepper. Ground - June 5th. Seedling growth - 70 days. Shoot - 12-14 days. Sowing seeds - after March 10. Early white cabbage.
