Folk omens
There are days on which it is not advised to plant plants and sow seeds. Even in the distant past, our ancestors began to monitor changes in the weather, due to which the gardener's calendar was created. If you can learn to deal with favorable and unfavorable days for planting, then provide yourself with a bountiful annual harvest.
Many signs are closely related to religious events:
- In no case should you be engaged in gardening during the Orthodox holiday of the Annunciation.
- Great Easter is also considered an unfavorable day for planting plants.
- And if potatoes are planted on Wednesday or Saturday, as well as during the palm week, then, according to signs, it will deteriorate, so it is not necessary to plan the planting of tubers precisely for this period, but it is better to start planting during flowering bird cherry.
- Carrots and beets planted in the willow week will grow small and the harvest will be small.
- Late radish, planted before Trinity, will turn out to be inconspicuous, since all the power will go into color.
The beginning of the spring period for the gardener is the time of the initial flowering of the mother-and-stepmother. As soon as eleven days have passed from this, it will be possible to plant seedlings of any trees, and after three weeks, sow such early vegetable crops as:
- peas and turnips;
- radish and radish;
- onions and parsley;
- carrots and beets.
After a month, you can start planting early potatoes. During flowering bird cherry and elderberry, late potatoes should be planted for winter storage.
Every gardener should carefully master the lunar planting calendar and monitor the lunar phases. Such a calendar is made up for the correct planting of various crops on certain auspicious days. These days depend on the position of the moon. Crops with aboveground fruits are recommended to be planted at the end of the new moon, and all root crops - after the full moon.
Any gardener every month will have a couple of weeks to plant different plants. You just need to decide on the days of the full moon, as well as the new moon according to the calendar. When the moon is full and waning, no gardening work should be done. Seeds are best sown on Wednesdays or Fridays. This directly applies to peppers, tomatoes and eggplants.
To obtain a bountiful harvest, it is recommended that the seeds be soaked at dawn and be sure to plant them without helpers. Peas are planted on Saturdays early in the morning in late April or early May, taking into account the onset of spring. Still, the most favorable day for planting is Saturday. Crops such as cabbage, onions and sunflowers are also recommended to be planted on Saturday. You can not plant and sow at noon (12-14 hours), because during this period the sun is shining very strongly, and its rays weaken the plant.
The moon has a strong influence on all life around. But still, those summer residents who have the opportunity to work on plots only on weekends cannot plant, focusing on the lunar calendar. However, the Moon should not be neglected. Before the full moon, as well as after it and on the new moon, you cannot plant and transplant, because these moments are not happy. Also, during this period, you do not need to prune plants and generally do not need to do work that can only harm them. But fertilizing at this time is possible and necessary. It is also useful to weed weeds, dig up and loosen the ground on the site.
