A few words about the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each 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 tasks for every day in the garden, flower garden and vegetable garden. The lunar calendar was compiled for those who are passionate about gardening, floriculture, and vegetable gardening. Sowing and planting days on the calendar different cultures recommended based on the lunar phases and the Moon’s passage through the zodiac constellation, as well as agricultural dates.

The lunar calendar gives recommendations on what seeds are favorable to sow, what plants to plant, how best to care for plants under the influence of the Moon. Fertile zodiac signs Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio favor sowing, planting, and a bountiful harvest. In the days of low-fertility signs Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, you can sow and plant individual species plants, mainly ornamental. Under a favorable zodiac sign, root crops are planted and sown on the waning Moon, and the rest are planted and sown on the waxing Moon. vegetable crops, berries and fruits, ornamental plants. During the full moon and new moon, the lunar calendar does not recommend sowing and planting; on these days they fight against plant diseases and pests.

Also in the lunar calendar for each day the necessary daily work in the garden and vegetable garden is listed, the results of which are not influenced by the Moon; these works are determined by the agricultural conditions of the given 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 for sowing and planting many plants. These are fruit and ornamental trees, berries and ornamental shrubs, annual and perennial flower and berry crops. Our lunar calendar tells us about the favorable times for sowing and planting almost all vegetable crops grown in the Middle Zone, with various methods of cultivation: planting, forcing, sowing, through seedlings, including in a greenhouse, on a windowsill and in open ground.

The lunar sowing and planting calendar for each day contains astronomical information indicating the exact time of the Moon's entry into each zodiac sign, the hours of the full moon and new moon are indicated, the time of moonrise and sunset, the time of sunrise and sunset and the length of daylight are given. If the Moon enters a certain zodiac sign during the day, then in the lunar calendar, in the sowing and planting recommendations column, a note is given before the specified hour to sow, plant and care 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 is given folk signs 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, throughout the year, you will notice that its height above the horizon on different days will be different - the highest on June 21-22, and the lowest 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, on March 20-21 and September 22-23, the Sun rises exactly at the east point and sets exactly at the west point. These days it is below and above the horizon same time(that is, day is equal to night), and therefore they are called the days of the spring and autumn equinox. 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 lunar phases

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

The influence of the Moon on earthly affairs has been known since ancient times. It is with this planet that the tidal phenomena of oceanic and sea ​​waters, as well as fluctuations in electromagnetic fields that affect the weather. It is believed that on a full moon, the above-ground parts of plants are filled with juice to a greater extent, and on a new moon, it seems to tend to flow back to the roots. In the first case, there is a stronger hydration of the tissues, in the second - some dryness. From here comes research into the influence of the moon on plants, and based on 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 zodiac signs. 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 is conducive to collecting fruits - they are better stored. Moving to the constellation Libra is favorable for watering and grafting, to the constellation Leo - for mowing and weeding, Sagittarius - for digging up root crops, Aquarius - for exterminating pests.

If you believe the experience of astrological observations, then 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 of fruit and ornamental plants according to the lunar calendar is best done when the Moon is in a productive zodiac sign.

How the lunar calendar of sowing and planting is compiled for each day

From a practical perspective, the recommendations of the lunar calendar will be valid 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, we will get significant differences. In one case it will be late, in the other it will be too early (compare the south of Russia and the Urals). Agricultural work, as well as care and cleaning work, are also related to 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 corrections regarding deadlines sowing and planting taking into account the conditions of a specific area. Data on the exact time of the Moon’s entry into the zodiacal constellation can be obtained from a chisel (tear-off calendar) for gardeners or an astrological calendar.

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

The timing of the moon phases does not coincide from year to year. In almost a month, the Moon passes through 12 constellations, called the signs of the Zodiac. On next year the lunar calendar shifts by 10 days. The timing of the moon phases repeats itself every 19 years. Every year, amendments are made to the daily sowing and planting calendar for the specific shape of the season and for the lunar phase.

Fruits and berries

When to plant

APPLE TREE, CHERRY, PEAR, PLUM

For seedlings with an open root system, the period from mid-April to the end of the first week of May (in the European part of the country) is well suited. The basic rule is to properly dig in the planted trees before the growing season begins.

STRAWBERRY WILD-STRAWBERRY

In the temperate continental climate zone, these berries are planted from April 15 to May 5. Next - from July 25 to September 5. In the southern regions, sowing can begin as early as early March.

RASPBERRIES

It is best to plant raspberry suckers when the weather is consistently warm or even hot and dry. Usually in late May - early June.

How to plant

PEAR, PLUM, APPLE TREE, CHERRY

Pits for seedlings fruit trees It is advisable to dig a few weeks before planting. Under an apple or pear tree, dig a hole 80 cm deep and 60-80 cm in diameter. For cherries and plums - 60 cm deep and 40 cm in diameter. The hole is fertilized and left until planting. When it comes, a 1.5 m long peg is installed at the bottom, to which the seedling is tied. The roots of the seedling are straightened and covered with fertile soil.

STRAWBERRY WILD-STRAWBERRY

To plant strawberries, the soil must be dug up and humus added. The soil should be moist, but not wet. It should be planted so that the roots of the seedlings are in the ground and the root collar is at ground level. The distance between rows is 50-60 cm.

RASPBERRIES

For this berry, they dig a trench with a depth of AO-50 cm and a width of up to half a meter. Fertilizers and humus are poured into the bottom of the trench. Raspberry bushes are cut to a height of 35 cm. Then the roots are dipped in a mixture of mullein and clay. Next, they are planted in the ground. The optimal distance between bushes is 50 cm.

Spring planting of vegetables

When to plant?

SORREL, RADISH

These crops germinate at soil temperatures of +1...+2, so you can start planting them as soon as the snow melts. IN middle lane- from mid-April.

CABBAGE, SALAD

These plants are more... thermophilic. They should be planted after the soil has warmed to +2...+3°C. In regions that are not southern, this time comes at the end of April - beginning of May. In the south - a month earlier.

CELERY, CARROTS, BEANS

In the central European part of the country, carrots should be planted first - in the second half of April. Early carrots - from the end of March. Celery and beans - late May - early June.

POTATOES, CUCUMBERS

Experienced gardeners plant potatoes when birch and bird cherry trees begin to bloom. Most often - at the end of April. In this case, the air should warm up to +15°C. It is necessary to wait until the frosts end, since at -3°C the potatoes die. You can safely start sowing cucumbers at the end of May.

ZUCCHINS, PUMPKIN

Melons are planted when the air temperature rises to +13°C. Usually - after May 10 (Moscow region, Ufa, Chelyabinsk). In latitudes located to the north and in the Urals (Perm, Yekaterinburg) - after May 15. In the south (Rostov, Krasnodar) - after March 10.

How to plant

SORREL, RADISH

Sorrel seeds are planted in rows to a depth of 2 cm. The space between the rows should be 25 cm wide. Before sowing, it is recommended to wrap the seeds in a damp cloth and leave for 2-3 days. Radishes are planted in the same way: in rows and at the same depth. Between rows - 8-10 cm.

CABBAGE, SALAD

First, cabbage is planted in closed ground to obtain seedlings. After 2 months, the sprouts are transferred to open ground. Lettuce is also grown as seedlings, which are planted at intervals of 20 cm when the first true leaves appear.

CELERY, CARROTS, BEANS

Carrot seeds are placed in water for 2 days. After this, they are kept in a damp cloth for a week. When sprouts appear, carrots are transplanted into the ground. Bean seeds are also soaked, but only overnight. Planted in rows to a depth of 2-5 cm. Celery is planted as seedlings with a distance between rows of 60 cm.

POTATOES, CUCUMBERS

Potatoes are planted with sprouted tubers. Depth—10-12 cm. Cucumber seeds are soaked for 12 hours. Next, plant in rows to a depth of 2-2.5 cm.

ZUCCHINS,PUMPKIN

Zucchini seeds are soaked for 3 days, after which they are planted in pots with peat and humus. In a month the seedlings will be ready. The depth of planting in the ground is 3-6 cm. Pumpkins are planted in the same way.

Spring planting flowers

When to plant

PETUNIA

In order to admire blooming petunia at the beginning of summer, it must be planted on the 20th of March. This should be done on nutritious and loose soil that retains moisture well.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

Seedlings or seeds are planted after the last spring frosts- late May or early June. Seedlings are planted in a trench, and seeds are planted in holes. It is recommended to cover sowing seeds with garden film.

DAHLIA

Slightly grown dahlias are planted June 1-10. Tubers can be planted earlier - May 15-20 (for temperate latitudes). When there is a threat of frost, plants must be covered.

How to plant

PETUNIA

To obtain seedlings, seeds are placed in soaked peat tablet. After the emergence of seedlings, the plant is transplanted into pots, and after 2 months, when the seedlings have grown stronger, into open ground. Another way is to plant seeds rather than seedlings. In this case, the seeds are scattered on the ground without covering them with soil.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

Cuttings of this flower are planted in previously loosened soil. If the soil is clay, you need to add compost. Planting depth is 20-25 cm. It is recommended to water chrysanthemums only in the morning. Due to evening or night watering, the plant may get sick. The best place for planting - the one that receives the best light during the day.

DAHLIA

The depth of the holes for dahlias is 30 cm. When planting, the sprouted flowers are tied to a wooden peg, then watered abundantly. The distance between planted plants should be at least 50 cm. Manure is a good fertilizer.

USEFUL TIPS FOR SPRING PLANTING

Tomatoes will be stronger if the seeds for seedlings are wrapped in damp gauze, placed in a saucer and poured special solution: 2 drops of “Gumi” per 10 drops of “Fitosporin”. The first drug will increase immunity and accelerate growth, and the second will protect plants

To fertilize the garden, it is very useful to use the water with which you washed food - meat, cereals, beans. It also makes sense to water the area with water left over from washing dishes. It contains fat that is so necessary for plant nutrition. As nitrogen fertilizer You can use a decoction of beets or potatoes.

Fruit tree seedlings will take root faster if: - they are local and not imported varieties;

• seedling age - no more than 2 years;
• the root system has 4-5 branches about 25 cm long;
• there are no signs of disease or mechanical damage on the seedlings;
• The roots of the tree are flexible, but not brittle or shriveled.

So, seeds have already been purchased from most gardeners. Eternal question: what can be planted in early spring in the beds, which plants are not afraid of light frost. What to plant in February or March in open ground. What needs and can be planted first, and what crops can wait for better times. In early spring in February-March, even when the soil has not yet warmed up, you can plant quite a few crops - celery, carrots, radishes, parsley, parsnips, peas, chives. All these crops tolerate light frosts well. But in order for your efforts not to be in vain, you still need certain knowledge.

Carrot

Carrot seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of 3-4°C, and the most best temperature– 18-20°C. This makes it possible to plant it in March, and in the Kuban even in February (February windows), making maximum use of the accumulated moisture in the soil. The seeding depth is 3-4 cm.

Carrots develop underground, therefore, to form a smooth, beautiful root crop, loose, fertile soil is needed. Before sowing, it is necessary to add 1 sq. m 2-3 kg of humus, 20-25 g of superphosphate, 10-15 g of potassium salt.

Carrots are a cold-resistant plant. It grows and develops well in cool weather, so early harvest can be received as early as May. But this, of course, will be young carrots, which are usually sold in bunches at the market and which children love so much.

Parsley

Parsley seeds germinate at a temperature of 1-5°C. Shoots appear in 12-15 days. Parsley also grows well in cool weather. Its seedlings are not afraid of frost, and with good snow cover, parsley remains green even in winter under the snow.

Parsley is sown to a depth of 1-1.5 cm and mulched with humus. After the true leaves appear, they are fed with diammophos, ammophos, and potassium fertilizer.

Parsnip

This unpretentious plant. It is cold-resistant, the seeds germinate slowly, germinating in 20-24 days. The seedlings are not afraid of frost. Drought is also not a problem for parsnips. It can be planted in any soil - it is not particularly picky about it. After 2-3 true leaves appear, fertilizing is carried out.

Radish

Radishes are sown when the soil warms up to 2-3°C. Typically this temperature occurs in February or March. For best use bed area and good plant development, sow 5 × 5 cm seeds using egg racks. The grids are used to mark the bed like a marker and the seeds are placed in the depressions made in the ground. It turns out to be a fairly wide bed of 6 rows. You choose the length of the bed yourself. Then make a passage 20-30 cm wide (foot length) and repeat the sowing procedure. You fill the holes with radish seeds either with sand, or (I do this) with a mixture of damp soil and vermiculite. Vermiculite loosens the soil well and retains moisture in the ground longer, which means the fruits will not crack with irregular watering.

Radish seedlings tolerate frosts well down to -3°C, and mature plants tolerate frosts down to -5°C.

Peas

Peas tolerate frosts down to minus 4°C. Seeds germinate at a temperature of 1-2°C, and brain varieties at - 4-8°C. This plant loves moisture, but does not tolerate high standing. groundwater. It is a good precursor for all crops. Entering the full mineral fertilizer When sowing, it increases the sugar content.

Onion

Onion seeds (nigella) germinate at a temperature of 2-4°C and tolerate light frosts. Root system Onions are even better formed during the cool period. And for the formation of bulbs, a temperature of 20-25°C is needed. With more high temperature Onion growth slows down.

It is better to soak onion seeds in a solution before sowing boric acid(5 g per 1 liter of water). Then they are dried until they flow and sown. The depth of planting of nigella is 2-3 cm. Fertilizing is carried out in the phase of 2 leaves, and during the period when the bulb begins to form - with nitroammophos, diammophos.

Celery

It is better to start growing celery with pre-sowing preparation seeds For faster germination, they are soaked in water for 2-3 days at room temperature. The water is changed 2-3 times a day.

For celery, from sowing to obtaining seedlings suitable for planting in the ground, it usually takes 70-80 days.

If the weather is favorable, you can begin planting seedlings in the second half of March. Before this, it is watered abundantly to reduce damage to the root system.

And one more warning: the application of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides to green plantings in early spring is unacceptable

To speed up the appearance of a good and high-quality harvest, most vegetable crops today are grown by seedlings.

It begins to be grown several weeks or months before planting in permanent place growth of culture.

In this material, we would like to discuss in more detail when is the best time to plant seedlings of the most popular vegetables today, grown in almost every summer cottage- This tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, eggplants and zucchini.

IN last years It has become popular to plant seedlings according to the archery calendar or various folk signs.

It is believed that plants planted on the waning moon will be lifeless and weak. But we will consider more rational planting dates, based on the characteristics of each plant.

Modern gardeners grow seedlings with the most different ways. Special pots are used for this, egg trays and even paper cups. The timing of planting seeds depends entirely on the species and individual characteristics growing vegetables. The main thing that needs to be taken into account is the approximate timing of planting the cuttings in open ground in a permanent place.

They begin to grow seedlings, often in April, early May. Moreover, in May it can be grown directly in open ground under shelters made of special film, of course, if the year is warm. A few weeks before transplanting plants from insulated places, they are often hardened, that is, they are taken out little by little. open space streets, each time increasing the duration of stay in cooler conditions.

Planting pepper seedlings

Pepper is a very heat-loving crop, which is considered one of the most beneficial for the human body. It contains a huge amount of vitamin C and multivitamin A. Bell pepper It perfectly complements many meat dishes on our table, which is why summer residents grow it in their gardens.

Photo of pepper seedlings

Suits pepper exclusively seedling method growing, since the time from germination to the appearance of the first fruits is quite long - 120-150 days. Peppers are transplanted into open ground at the age of 60-80 days, when the first buds appear on the bush. The approximate planting time is determined by the ambient temperature.

Having sprouted the first shoots, the plant grows well at temperatures from 12 to 15 degrees during the day, and from 6 to 10 at night. Therefore, the approximate planting time is the first ten days of June, when the risk of frost is minimal. During the period of seedling maturation in greenhouses, it requires periodic solar hardening, since plants that do not see the sun will immediately burn.

Tomato seedlings

Tomatoes are a round, red vegetable with a sweet or sweet and sour flavor. Of all vegetable crops, tomatoes are the least demanding in growing conditions. But they are quite demanding on temperature conditions.

Photo of tomato seedlings

The first shoots appear in the ground already 3-7 days after sowing. Optimal temperature For normal development of tomatoes, 20-25 degrees is considered. If the temperature rises above 30, their growth slows down significantly or stops altogether.

Tomato seedlings should be planted approximately 60-70 days before transplanting to a permanent location. Late varieties are planted in 45-50 days. The time for sowing seeds is March 10 - April 1. As a rule, replanting of young plants begins after spring frosts have ended.

For the central regions of the country - this is May 1-15, more northern regions - June 10-20. If the seedlings have been previously hardened, then transplantation can be done 15-20 days earlier than the generally accepted dates.

Cucumber seedlings

Cucumbers are the most capricious vegetable in terms of transplanting. Before planting the plant seeds, they need to be germinated. In the twentieth of March - early April, you can begin to prepare seedlings.

Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate (2 g per 250 g of water). Then they are transferred to a damp cloth, in which the temperature is maintained at 20-25 degrees. When the first sprouts appear, they begin to plant the plants in pots 6-10 cm wide.

Maximum age young plant before transplantation – 25-30 days. Transplantation into the greenhouse begins in mid-May, and in open ground - in mid-June.

Zucchini and eggplant seedlings

These crops, like cucumbers, are very difficult to grow. The temperature of their normal development is 20-25 degrees. The first plant shoots appear 10-15 days after sowing.

The photo shows eggplant seedlings

If the temperature drops, seedlings may appear much later. Early ripening varieties of zucchini produce fruit only 100 days after planting, which is why they are grown through seedlings.

Plants are usually transplanted into the ground 60-65 days after sowing the seeds. The plant does not tolerate frost, so it is better to plant eggplant seedlings in mid-March and transfer them to the ground at the end of May.

Cabbage sowing dates

Cabbage seeds are sown in the most different terms, it all depends on the type of crop. But usually this happens 60-65 days before transplanting into open ground. Cabbage seedlings more early varieties you can start as early as mid-March, middle and late ones - from mid-April.

The first harvest of early varieties occurs after 90-110 days, for middle ones - 130-150 days, while late varieties bear fruit 150-170 days after planting.

This plant is cold-resistant and light-loving, and has special requirements for soil fertility. Seedlings develop normally at a temperature of 6 to 10 degrees before the first shoots appear, then the temperature needs to be increased to 14-18 degrees.

The timing of planting seedlings is different for each plant. Therefore, before starting it, study the growing characteristics of the crop in order to get a rich and healthy harvest on time.

My dear friends, tell me, do you know such feelings? Spring has come, you need to do sowing and planting in the garden, but you are tormented by thoughts: to plant or not to plant. You see that your neighbors planted potatoes early, and you begin to suffer from doubts: should you plant them early, or wait. You decide to plant it later. The neighbor's potatoes have sprouted, yours is not yet visible, and it's frosty here, then you realize what you've done.

Or, for example, I planted onion sets early, and my neighbor says: “It’s bad so early, don’t plant it, wait.” My onion managed to capture moisture and sprouted quickly and well. The neighbor planted it later, there was a drought, and the onion turned out to be weak.

So it turns out that spring planting- it’s like roulette, you’ll be lucky or unlucky. I was tired of playing roulette with nature and decided to find a way that would help me determine planting dates and ensure that everything was on time. The task borders on science fiction, but when I began to delve into this topic in more detail, I realized that everything is quite real.

Every seed is sown in its own time

Every plant needs certain temperature soil for germination, that is, as in the saying “Every seed is sown in its own time,” and it is directly related to temperature environment. When the soil temperature is the same as you see below for each crop, then you can sow and plant them in the garden:

• Beetroot - +6-10º;
• Potatoes - +8-10º at a depth of 10-12 cm;
• Cucumbers - +13-15º;
• Tomatoes - +15º;
• Zucchini, pumpkin - +10º;
• Peppers and eggplants - +18º;
• Watermelons, melons - +18º;
• Beans - +15º;
• Peas - +3º;
• Sorrel - +1-2º;
• Onion seeds - +0-2º;
• Dill, parsley - +3º;
• Carrots - +3º;
• Radish - +1-2º;
• Onion sets - +8-10º;

I’m sure many of the readers will ask: “So now, before planting, should I run to the garden or go to the dacha several kilometers away with a thermometer to measure the temperature in the soil.” This would be correct, but it looks strange from the outside, and the neighbors will begin to twist their fingers at their temples. Let's do without the sidelong glances and do things a little differently.

We all noticed very well that various flowers, shrubs, trees begin to develop and bloom at different times. Give some cold weather, others only warm, otherwise they will refuse to bloom. It becomes clear - perennials are the very thermometer that shows how the soil has warmed up and what you can start planting.

It is very important to observe them in the exact area where you will sow or plant your vegetables. I’ll explain why this is important now.

My site is located at the highest point in the city, here strong winds and the air temperature is always slightly lower than in the city itself, which is located below. Apricots in the city bloom two weeks earlier than here, so crocuses, daffodils and other plants also bloom later. Therefore, I focus on my flowers, and not on those that people have in the city.

I think you understand me, I can sow carrots a little later than they do in areas where there is no wind and it is warm. You need to monitor the plants on your site and in nearby areas, if only because in each area the soil is different, loam, black soil, sandy loam, they will also warm up differently.

Well, now let me tell you how to navigate plants in order to know which seed is time to sow.

When and what to plant in the garden

By observing the perennials in your area, you can easily determine the timing of sowing or planting vegetable crops, you will always know when and what to plant in the garden.

The science of observing plants

This science is old and is called phenology. According to it, dandelions begin to bloom when the air temperature crosses the ten-degree mark. Bird cherry produces color on the 28th day after the hazel tree blooms and 10 days before the birch begins to green up.

How clear everything is in nature, everything is thought out, almost according to schedule. So let us follow this schedule so as not to fall behind and not fly forward, everything has its time.

Snowdrops bloomed

In order not to run into the forest to watch the snowdrops, I brought them to my site, but I think you can focus on whether they were on sale or not. When snowdrops appear, you can sow:

• tomatoes for seedlings;
• petunia, salvia, asters, geranium, ageratum, cloves for seedlings.

The crocuses have bloomed

Here I would like to draw your attention to the fact that they are early, middle and late. My first crocuses are blooming, there is still almost snow on the ground, and it would, of course, be stupid to focus on them. I am observing crocuses with an average flowering period; their period is the best for planting cold-resistant crops. As soon as they bloom, you can start sowing in the garden:

• early carrots;
• nigella onion (seeds);
• salad;
• dill;
• parsley;
• radish;
• bow on feather.

You can sow flowers into the ground: a lissum, delphiniums.

Apricot blossomed

Many people ask the question: “When can I plant onion sets, what should I focus on?” Focus on apricot. As soon as it has bloomed, you can plant onion sets.

Coltsfoot bloomed

Coltsfoot is a wild-growing herb, if you have the opportunity to observe it, then it will tell you when you can sow it in the garden:

• early carrots;
• nigella onion (seeds);
• dill;
• parsley;
• salad;
• radish.

What else is interesting about coltsfoot for gardeners and gardeners? It is from the moment of its flowering that the beginning of all field work can be calculated.

1. On the 11th day, the trees are whitened, the leaves are removed, and fruit trees begin to be planted.
2. On the 14th day, prepare the soil for the beds.
3. On the 23rd day, early vegetables are sown.
4. On the 30th day, early potatoes are planted.

Daffodils have begun to bloom

As soon as the daffodils appear before us in all their glory, we can sow and plant them in the garden:

• sow phlox, lupine, sweet peas and daisies into the soil;
• plant seedlings of early white cabbage and cauliflower;
• sowing beets;

Muscari are blooming

This is an early flower, and its flowering allows us to plant:

• seedlings of early and cauliflower, but under cover;
• sow peas.

Lilac blooms

You can sow cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini, melons and watermelons. Re-sow lettuce in the garden.

Chestnuts have blossomed

The flowering of chestnuts is the time for re-sowing, if necessary.

1. We re-sow the dill.
2. If necessary, re-sow radishes and lettuce.

Cherry blossoms have begun

We do new and repeated sowing and planting.

1. You can also sow dill.
2. We sow beans and corn.
3. We sow late carrots for storage.

Almond trees began to bloom

• sowing peas;
• sowing beets;
• We continue to plant cabbage seedlings.

Leaves appeared on the birch tree

As soon as the birch has released leaves about 1 cm, you can safely begin planting:

• potatoes;
• dahlia;

Peony Tips

As soon as buds begin to appear on the peony, you can sow and plant in the garden:

• watermelons and melons;
• corn and beans.

As you can see, the same vegetable crops can be sown by observing different plants. Determine for yourself which ones you will watch.

And now the most important and valuable thing. When can you plant seedlings so that they do not fall under spring frost? And here we will focus on the flowering of rose hips or red rowan. If they bloom, it means that frosts will no longer make their nightly raids. The warm season has arrived!

My dear friends, I think this simple science will help you, just as it helps me, if you don’t play roulette with nature, you’ll be lucky or unlucky, but will become your exact indicator of when and what to plant in the garden.

Sow every seed in due time, and the plants around will be your helpers, just look closely and listen to them.

Good luck and great harvests!

I wish everyone happiness, Natalia Murga
