On which moon to plant carrots. When to sow carrots, beets and parsnips for a great harvest. According to the recommendations of manufacturers, depending on the variety

Planting beets and carrots does not take much time during the spring work. But if you approach this process carelessly and sow it somehow, then you should not expect a good harvest. It is important to remember that there are different approaches on which the yield of beets depends: planting and care in the open field is somewhat different from the same processes when planting in a greenhouse.
Also, when you sow seeds on the site or transplant seedlings from the greenhouse, you need to regularly loosen the soil and apply fertilizer, this is the key to a good harvest.

It is important to know how and when to plant beets, what recommendations to follow in order to get large root crops. In this article, we will provide important information, which should be familiar to every gardener, and also traditionally consider the timing of planting beets and carrots according to lunar calendar.

We prepare the earth

Beetroot can grow on any soil, but most of all it loves well-cultivated, loose, sandy and chernozem soils. It can also grow on peatlands after liming. It is not recommended to plant beets on heavy clay soils, podzolic and sandy soils. How to plant beets if the area is too wet? Gardeners recommend sowing seeds on ridges and ridges.

Good precursors:

  • cucumber;
  • potato;
  • tomato;
  • legumes.

Bad predecessors:

  • cabbage;
  • carrot.

It is better to pay attention to what grew in the garden to beets. This is especially true for planting beet seeds in open ground. No need to grow it in the same place for several years in a row. Only after 3-4 years can the planting be returned to its original place.

Planting beets in the spring means preparing the soil in the fall. That is, if you decide to sow beet seeds in the spring, then from the fall you need to make sure that the soil is prepared. First you need to remove all the remains of plants, get rid of the weed and dig the site well. Next, you need to loosen the ground.

Site fertilizer

If the soil is depleted, then it makes sense to apply mineral fertilizers. Earth with high acidity must be mixed with lime, chalk or dolomite flour. As a rule, 1 cup of the mixture per 1 sq.m. is enough. Do not forget about fertilizers in the spring. It is necessary to enrich the soil shortly before sowing beets. Often gardeners use self-prepared fertilizer.

It consists of:

  • wood ash (2 cups);
  • magnesium sulfate (1 tsp);
  • boric acid (12 tsp);
  • micronutrient tablet.

All components must be mixed well and added to the beds. Proportions are indicated based on 1 sq.m. You can also add a mixture to the soil ammonium nitrate(20 g), superphosphate (40 g) and sodium chloride (10 g). If you fertilize the plot with manure, you do not need to apply more than 4 kg of this fertilizer to the soil per 1 sq.m.

For growing table beets, you need to choose a well-lit place. This root crop does not like shade. If she suffers a shortage sunlight, then the fruits will not have a rich color.

Planting dates for beets and carrots

Planting dates for beets and carrots vary depending on weather conditions. Most gardeners try to plant beets in the spring, when the earth has already warmed up to 5 ° C. If planted too early, then the seeds will not germinate in cold soil, and root crops will not form. Too early sowing is dangerous and the formation of flower stalks on beetroot. This negatively affects the development of this garden culture. Seeds can germinate at a temperature of +4…+5°С, they can also endure slight frosts (down to -2°С). The optimum temperature for good growth root crops - + 16 ... + 23 ° С.

Delay with sowing is also not worth it, because of the moisture-loving nature of the plant. You need to try to catch the moment when spring moisture has not yet left the soil (approximately the first week of May).

Immediately before planting beets, the ground must be loosened with a rake and brought into it. dolomite flour. If the soil is warm, moist, loose and enriched with minerals, you can start sowing.

Also, some summer residents, according to the old tradition, try to adhere to the lunar calendar.

Auspicious days for sowing beets and carrots in the spring of 2019 according to the lunar calendar:

  • in March:
    • favorable: 13-15 and 20-22
    • conditionally favorable: 30;
  • in April:
    • favorable: 3, 17-18,
    • conditionally favorable: 22-23;
  • in May:
    • favorable: 23-24,
    • conditionally favorable: 19-20;
  • in June:
    • favorable: 10-12, 20-21,
    • conditionally favorable - 15-16.

Planting seeds

There are two ways to plant beets: seeds and seedlings. The first method is most often used. The prepared soil can be cultivated by 3-4 cm and polished. Seeds can be sown after the planting of carrots is completed. Usually at this time the soil has time to warm up well. That is why gardening beginners often wonder when to plant carrots and beets in the spring. It's best to check the weather forecast before landing. If rains are expected, hurry to sow the seeds.

Before planting seeds in the beds, it is recommended to process them. In order for root crops to appear as early as possible, the seeds must be soaked in a growth stimulator solution. It can be bought in specialized stores. At home, ordinary ash is often used. The seeds should be soaked for about a day, after which they need to be washed warm water and dry. Until planting, it is better to store them in a fabric bag. You need to put it in a dry, cold place.

You can also process the seeds by bubbling. But in this case, they need to be sown only in moist soil. If not done pre-processing seeds, the arrow will not be able to develop.

The scheme for planting beets in open ground is very simple: sowing in rows with further thinning of seedlings. Planting depth depends on the type of soil. If the soil is loamy, then the seeds should be planted at a depth of 3 cm, if sandy - about 4 cm. The distance between the rows should be at least 40 cm. Planting beets in open ground should be carried out in the same beds and resemble a lattice.

It is necessary to make small grooves and pour water into them. Planting beets with seeds should be carried out only when moisture is absorbed. The seeds of this garden crop are enough big size, so they can be sown individually. Sometimes gardeners worry that seedlings may not appear, so they put several seeds together. After placing the seeds in the ground, they must be sprinkled with earth.

Planting seedlings

If you do not want to thin out the beets, then you can use the second planting method. This method is also perfect for those who have not fully understood how to plant beets with seeds. If you will plant seedlings, then you need to sow it in a greenhouse at least 30 days before transplanting into permanent soil.

When to plant beets in the spring if you are using seedlings and not seeds? It is not worth talking about specific dates, since everything depends on weather conditions. Seedlings can be planted only if the sprouts have grown stronger.

If you have a greenhouse, then you need to make several grooves in it at a distance of 5 cm from each other. They need to plant seeds. Between them, you need to keep a distance of 3 cm. When the seedlings grow, you need to monitor how leaves form on them. If the stem becomes strong, and about 4-5 leaves grow on it, you can safely transplant the seedlings. However, you don't have to do it abruptly. First, it is recommended to harden the sprouts. To do this, the greenhouse must be ventilated for a while. Sudden changes in temperature adversely affect the development of root crops.

Only after the implementation of all these processes, the sprouts can be planted in open ground. It is advisable to first place them in a solution of clay, and only then - in open ground.

Some gardeners know how to plant beets in the fall, and often practice this. In the second half of autumn, you can sow the beds with seeds, and in July you should expect the first root crops. This is considered an early harvest.

Root care

You already know when to sow beets and how to do it correctly. Now let's get acquainted with the features of caring for this root crop.

It is important to take into account the fact that several shoots sprout from one grain, and in any case, the beets need to be thinned out. Therefore, do not sow too thickly. If after thinning there are many sprouts left, then they can be planted as seedlings. It is necessary to remove excess sprouts twice. First you need to thin out the beets when 2 leaves appear on the sprouts. It is advisable to maintain a distance of 3-4 cm. Then it is recommended to repeat the process when about 5 leaves appear on the sprouts, and the size of the root crop reaches 4 cm in diameter. Torn out roots during the second thinning can not be afraid to use for food.

As for loosening, this should be done no more than 2-3 times per season. Beets also need to be watered infrequently. The further north the area where you live, the less often you need to water the site. It is better not to water the beets before harvesting, as this negatively affects palatability root crops.

Top dressing should be done 2 times. First, it is advisable to fertilize the root crops with a solution of mullein or bird droppings in proportions of 1:10. In a month, you can enrich the land again. A solution of potassium and urea is best suited for this. In 10 liters of water, mix 2 g of urea and 20 g of potassium sulfate. How to plant beets correctly so that it is convenient to fertilize them later? Be sure to leave enough free space between the beds. In no case should the solution be poured directly onto the root. It is best to moisten the distance between the grooves with it.

Often gardeners practice watering brine. This helps to enrich it with sodium. Usually 1 glass of salt is needed for 10 liters of water. This is enough for root crops not only to receive useful trace elements, but also to increase their sugar content.

We plant beets correctly and enjoy a great harvest!

Planting carrots before winter will provide the gardener with an early harvest, but keep in mind that this crop is not suitable for winter storage due to its low keeping quality. Therefore, for storage, it is necessary to plant carrots with good qualities for storage.

For autumn plantings recommended varieties of carrots that have high resistance winter cold. This feature is provided by the presence a large number essential oils, which spring planting gardeners remove from seeds using stratification and repeated treatment with water. Based on this, you should make a choice which varieties of carrots are best planted before winter. Carrot autumn sowing intended for spring use only. Therefore, which carrots to plant before winter, you need to choose a variety with suitable taste.

When to plant carrots before winter in 2017 in the Moscow region

For the winter variety, the choice of seeds is determined by their resistance to cold, the rapid development of precocity after germination. Carrot varieties of medium ripeness and early ripening are well suited for winter sowing: Nantes 4; Shantane; Moscow winter; Touchon; Vitamin 6; incomparable; Losinoostrovskaya 13; Incomparable.

Seeds are sown in frozen soil without prior treatment. A bed for winter planting they dig in advance, draw grooves and wait for the frost to grab them. Then the seeds are poured in granules according to the scheme, either mixed with sand and sprinkled with dry soil from the greenhouse, or with a ready-made soil mixture.

The timing of planting carrots before winter is determined primarily climatic conditions region. Early autumn in most regions of Russia is rich in surprises in the form of thaws and snowfalls, so sowing seeds early autumn(in October) is risky due to the destructive conditions of seeds germinated during the thaw.

How to sow carrots before winter in 2017

You need to sow carrots before winter with dry seeds (you do not need to soak and germinate them beforehand), since such seeds will not germinate ahead of time. Carrot seeds are small, and so that the sowing is neat, you can use a special seeder.

For the winter, carrots should be sown according to the following scheme: prepare grooves (1-2 cm deep), pour seeds there, cover with dry warm earth from above. After that, lay a layer of peat or humus (about 2 cm), compact the soil a little from above. When the first snow falls, you need to scoop it up on the bed and press it with spruce branches.

In the spring, when the snow melts, the spruce branches must be removed. And as soon as the snow completely disappears from the garden, you need to install low arcs on it and cover them with a film or nonwoven fabric. So the carrots will ripen even faster. Further care consists of loosening, weeding and thinning.

When to plant carrots in 2017 according to the lunar calendar

Sowing dates directly affect the yield of carrots and depend on the variety and purpose of the finished root crops. Carrot is a cold-resistant crop: the minimum required temperature for seed germination is +3…+6°C, seedlings withstand short-term frosts down to –4…–5°C. In terms of ripening, all varieties of carrots are divided into early-ripening varieties with a growing season of up to 100 days, mid-ripening - up to 120 days and late-ripening - up to 140 days.


To get early carrots on the table, choose early and ultra-early varieties that ripen in 45-60 days; for winter storage, it is better to sow late-ripening varieties of carrots.

The moon will tell best time for garden work:Moon phases in October 2017

Carrots are a crop that grows within two years. How is this possible? By planting it in 2019, you can get the vegetable itself and tops, and in the future 2019 you can get carrot seeds. Carrots are a very valuable, healthy and nutritious product, rich in provitamin A. As a rule, carrot seeds do not sit in the ground for long and germinate within twenty days after planting. So after two and a half months it is already possible to harvest this useful root crop. When to plant carrots outdoors in 2019? We invite you to find out the answer to this question.

When to plant carrots in open ground in 2019

When to plant carrots in 2019?

Carrots are excellent cold weather, which is why it can be planted as in early spring, and closer to autumn. The main rule for planting carrot seeds is that these works must be done on a waning moon (in general, it is customary to plant all root crops on an aging moon, so they are better accepted and give good harvest).

In 2019 good days for planting carrot seeds, according to the lunar calendar are considered next days in April: 17,18,23,28. In May: 4,14,15,19,24,31. In June: 1,7,10,11,15,16,20,30. It will not be too late to plant carrots in July, then it will ripen just in time for the middle of autumn, July 12.15 and 18 will be successful for planting.

For optimal growth and the development of carrots, it is enough to meet a number of conditions:

  • The beds should be located so that the sun shines on them as much as possible and for a long time.
  • The soil for planting carrots should pass oxygen well and should not contain stones.
  • The soil should be light, otherwise the carrot does not grow straight down, but gives lateral branches, bends and does not have a beautiful appearance.
  • The earth should not be moistened, otherwise the carrots will quickly rot.

As a rule, carrots are sown on May days, when warm and dry weather sets in. Those varieties of carrots that need to be harvested for the winter, which ripen longer, are sown in June and July.

Planting carrots in open ground

Before sowing carrots, its seeds need to be soaked overnight in a small amount of water, so they will germinate faster. When sowing carrots, it is important to maintain a distance between rows of thirty to forty centimeters. You should not plant seeds very close to each other, in order for the roots to develop well, they need a free distance of at least five centimeters. It will not be superfluous to add sand or ground dried coffee to the soil before planting seeds.

Important! Usually, carrot seeds germinate two weeks after planting, but if the sprouts are very close to each other, they must be threaded. If this is not done, then the resulting crop will not only be small, but also have an ugly appearance.

When planting carrots, you must follow the rules of crop rotation. You should not plant carrots where dill, fennel or parsley grew last season. The fact is that after these plants, pests winter in the soil, which are not averse to eating carrots. But after cabbage and tomatoes, carrots will receive excellent soil, which received a lot from these vegetables. useful substances. It is very good to plant carrots where potatoes grew last year. After this root crop, there are no diseases and pests left in the ground that could damage carrots, and besides, after it the soil remains loose and saturated with oxygen.

In order for carrots not to be attacked by a fly or aphid, onions or garlic should be planted next to it. Essential oils contained in them, perfectly drive away these pests. And calendula sown around carrots will further contribute to obtaining a good harvest of carrots.

Now you know when to plant carrots outdoors in 2019? Finally, it should be noted that for favorable growth Carrots should not be over-moistened, as they can withstand dry weather quite well. But moderate watering will not hurt, thanks to which, root crops will grow larger in size.

Sowing carrots! However, not everyone succeeds. Why? There are many reasons for this: incorrectly chosen sowing dates, unsuccessful selection of a variety, or violation of agricultural technology.

Sowing dates directly affect the yield of carrots and depend on the variety and purpose of the finished root crops. Carrot is a cold-resistant crop: the minimum required temperature for seed germination is +3…+6°C, seedlings withstand short-term frosts down to –4…–5°C. In terms of ripening, all varieties of carrots are divided into early-ripening varieties with a growing season of up to 100 days, mid-ripening - up to 120 days and late-ripening - up to 140 days.

To get early carrots on the table, choose early and ultra-early varieties that ripen in 45-60 days; for winter storage, it is better to sow late-ripening varieties of carrots.

Sowing dates for carrots

For early consumption, carrot seeds are sown from April 25 to May 1, the next sowing of mid-ripening varieties of carrots - May 1 - May 10. If carrots are needed for long-term storage, then it is sown in the first - second decade of May, until May 25 inclusive.

IN southern regions carrots can be sown in 2 terms: the first sowing - March 10-20, the second sowing of carrots - May 10-15.

By folk calendar carrots are planted when the coltsfoot is in bloom.

Most auspicious days for sowing carrots in the spring of 2016 according to the Lunar sowing calendar:

In March: 24-27, conditionally favorable - 4, 30-31;
in April: 27–28, conditionally favorable - 1;

When to water, feed and pull carrots?

The first thinning is carried out in the phase of 1–2 true leaves, the second 15–20 days after the first.

The main care for the beds of carrots is timely weeding, loosening row spacing, watering and top dressing. Carrots are watered rarely, but plentifully and evenly. Row spacing is loosened simultaneously with weeding.

Sowing parsnips and caring for them according to the Lunar sowing calendar of the gardener and gardener 2016

Parsnips are grown for their juicy white roots with a specific flavor. The root crop is formed 120-170 days after sowing.

For sowing parsnips, it is better to choose well-lit places. Parsnip is cold-resistant and frost-resistant: optimum temperature for plant growth +15...+20 °C, seedlings withstand frosts down to –5 °C. Agrotechnical methods of growing parsnips are the same as those of carrots. Care consists in periodic watering, loosening and weeding. Root crops are harvested in the fall, at the same time as carrots, and stored in the same way.

Terms of sowing parsnips

IN middle lane parsnips are sown in the ground in late April and early May. It is better to sow parsnips for storage later - at the end of May.

The best days for planting parsnips in the spring of 2016 according to the lunar sowing calendar:

In March: 24–27, 30, conditionally favorable days - 4, 30–31;



Planting beets according to the Lunar sowing calendar of the gardener and gardener 2015

Beet sowing dates

Beet is a moderately cold-resistant crop: seeds can germinate at +3 °C. But the optimum temperature for sowing dry seeds is +10 °C. In addition, young seedlings of table beet can die from spring frosts.

To grow early beets on a table in the middle lane, beets are sown from April 25 to May 5 under cover from spandbond or film.

According to folk beliefs, the time for planting beets comes when the aspen blossoms.

When to water, feed and pull beets?

Beets are light-requiring: it is important to weed and thin them in time. Beetroot generally needs a moderate amount of watering. Systematic watering should be carried out during seed germination and in July-August. Beetroot is very responsive to the application of fertilizers to the soil.

The first time the beets are thinned out in the phase of the first true leaves, the second time after 2–3 weeks, leaving a distance of 5–7 cm. Pulled plants can be used to make green salad. During the summer, the beets are periodically weeded and the soil is loosened between the rows. On dry and hot days - watered. Beets are pulled out for food when they reach a diameter of 3–4 cm.

Carrots are a popular and healthy vegetable. Grows in every garden. To reap a good harvest, you need to know when to sow carrots in open ground. It is worth familiarizing yourself with the process in more detail.

Preparing carrot seeds for planting

Before sowing carrot seeds in open ground, you need to prepare them. This is necessary so that they are well accepted and rise in a timely manner, or even ahead of time. Usually, impregnation is used to accelerate the germination of carrot seeds. To do this, carrot seeds need to be wrapped in cotton cloth and put in warm water for 24 hours.

Also, as a soak solution, you can use a mixture of 4% hydrogen peroxide and water in a ratio of 10 drops per 50 ml of water. Such preparatory reception- this is a kind of additional care, due to which the incidence of emerging plants is significantly reduced.

When sowing dry carrot seeds in open ground, the first shoots will appear no earlier than two weeks later, while pre-soaked ones will make themselves felt on the fourth day.

In addition to preparing the seeds, it is also necessary to prepare the soil itself, in which the subsequent planting will take place.

As a fertilizer for the soil, it is best to use fertilizers, which are based on potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. It is also necessary to have a certain composition of trace elements in it; fertilizers without them act extremely poorly on the soil.

To loosen the soil, it is good to use a specialized cultivator, so as not to waste energy on digging by hand. With its help, it is possible to dig up a surface up to 60 cm wide in one pass and at the same time not make any special physical efforts, since on good soil the automated cultivator can move by itself, it is enough to support it from one side. The bed loosened by the cultivator comes out perfectly flat and does not require additional adjustment garden tools. At the end of the loosening procedure, you can start planting seeds in open ground.

When to sow carrots according to the lunar calendar in 2018

Planting carrots occurs depending on the region and ambient temperature. This is a cold-resistant culture that can withstand frost, and the seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of +4 .. +6 ºС. It is also worth paying attention to the varieties of seeds that you are going to sow.

Distinguish early-ripening, mid-ripening and late-ripening. If you want to harvest early, choose ultra-early seeds and sow them early. IN central region and Moscow region is the end of April the beginning of May. IN southern regions where the heat comes used to be carrots sow already in March, and in two terms.

Carrots to be harvested winter storage sow in late May or June.

Favorable days for sowing carrots in 2018 in the spring:

  • March - 13th - 17th
  • April - 12 - 13
  • May - 23 - 24
  • June - 15 - 16

Soil preparation

Planting carrots is a labor-intensive agricultural process that requires a clear understanding of the process and adherence to the main steps. It is also worth noting that carrots are a rather difficult crop to grow, which does not tolerate excessive moisture. At the same time, it will grow well on loosened sandy and clay soils with a structural top layer.

An equally important condition for the fruitful cultivation of carrots is the balance of the acidity level of the soil, the presence ground water, drainage system and the ability of the soil to retain moisture.

It is important to note that excessively clayey and acidic soil delays the natural development of this crop.

Carrots, in order to develop properly, need additional loosening of the soil, since excessive density adversely affects the natural growth of roots. In addition, additional mineralization of the soil will be useful. Usually, after cultivation, a couple of days before planting the seeds, mineral fertilizers are applied, the consumption of which depends solely on the condition and composition of the soil, after which it is dug up again. The mineral solution is applied by continuous irrigation or dosed flooding into specially prepared wells. Further, continuous watering is carried out, which allows nutrients to evenly penetrate the soil to the desired depth and gain a foothold at the desired level.

For loosening the soil, it is good to use specialized equipment. With its help, you can quickly dig up the surface and at the same time not make much physical effort. The furrow loosened by special equipment is straight and does not require additional adjustment auxiliary tools. At the end of the loosening procedure, you can begin to sow the seeds in the ground.


Planting and caring for carrots

Of particular importance when sowing seeds of carrots is the observance of rows and the right choice of location. It is advisable to have carrot beds in a well-lit area so that the lack of sun does not affect the yield. Since the seeds germinate extremely slowly, it is better to sow them as early as possible. Besides, early boarding carrot seeds has a great influence on the quality of the root crop, they accumulate great amount useful substances.

In order not to waste extra time for the subsequent weeding of sprouted shoots, it is better to initially do a measured sowing. Measured sowing involves a certain number of seeds (about a hundred pieces) per running meter, that is, 10 sq. m. will need about 8 g of carrot seeds.

To carrot seeds, you can add the seeds of any early lettuce in a ratio of 9: 1 (5-10% of the total number of carrot seeds). This technique will help to determine the seed row in a timely manner and will greatly facilitate subsequent care for it.

Modern farmers recommend sowing carrot seeds using the tape method in previously prepared furrows or in small beds, leaving a distance between lines of about 20 cm. Further, the sown seeds are sealed to a depth of no more than two centimeters. In order for their sealing to take place on the same level, the bottom of the groove is pre-compacted.

An important point when sowing seeds in open ground is soil moisture. Slightly germinated seeds are also sown in slightly moist soil. Moisture contributes to the rapid engraftment of the seed and its subsequent development.

At the end of sowing, it is useful to sprinkle upper layer soil with a thin layer of specially prepared compost or humus. This kind of manipulation will ensure the simultaneous appearance of sprouts.

Important! Carrot is a cold-resistant crop that can withstand temperature fluctuations from +30 to -4 degrees. At the same time, at a temperature above +30, the growth of the root crop stops, it coarsens and acquires abnormal forms, at a temperature below -4, development slows down and the root crop dies.

Advice

In order for carrot root crops to please with a good harvest, carrot seeds should be planted in a place where early harvested crops, such as onions, cereals and table beets, used to grow. At the same time, it can be returned to its original place no earlier than after five years, since it is during this period that all layers of the soil have time to self-repair.

Carrot root vegetables respond well to feeding from natural and natural components in the form of bird droppings. It is also recommended to use mineral fertilizers and various kinds of organic mixtures.


Carrots grow well at temperatures of 8-12 degrees above zero, so it is very important to make sure that the earth is warm enough and frosts are not expected. Usually, in a favorable climate, the first sprouts can be seen after two weeks, but only after a month, carrots will please with thick leaves.

It is extremely important to water carrots in the early stages of its growth, but in the subsequent period it is worth paying increased attention to weed control so that they do not stop the growth of seedlings and do not drown out the development of the root crop. To do this, you should know how to weed carrots.

Not less than important place in the cultivation of carrots, it also takes thinning seedlings. This procedure should be started already at the first appearance of sprouts, and then repeated again after two weeks. As a result, the gaps between separately growing plants should be at least 5 cm.

The Moon is the main and only natural satellite of the Earth. Despite its small size, many processes depend on it, including plant growth. First time addiction horticultural crops from the phases of the moon was noticed by ancient people. Now this knowledge is passed down from generation to generation and successfully applied in practice. Below we will tell you about the features of planting carrots according to the 2017 lunar calendar and determine the most successful days for ground work.

To correctly interpret the lunar calendar 2017, you need to decide what goals you are pursuing. In we are talking about carrots. In this culture, the most valuable thing is the root crop, not the tops. Therefore, we will initially start from this. It should also be noted that we will not consider the whole year, but 4 main landing months March, April, May and June.

Let's start with the full moon. In all its glory, our satellite will show itself on March 23, 2017, April 22, May 22 and June 20. During this period, the plants feel weakened. The root system is especially affected. Therefore, when you see the full moon in the sky, do not sow carrot seeds and carry out any other manipulations. All of them will fail. Root crops planted in the full moon do not germinate well and give an unimportant harvest.

As for the first week after the new moon, the lunar sowing calendar of 2017 says the following. These days, you can plant garden and garden crops, but this does not apply to carrots. All the energy in the new moon goes from the roots upwards, so it is difficult for root crops to take root. On the growing moon, you can take care of the first shoots after sowing (thin out, remove weeds).

The best time to plant carrots is the waning moon. At this time, the energy rushes to the roots. All juices and nutrients descend into the earth. Carrots take root well and form large and juicy root crops. The 2017 lunar calendar highlights such auspicious days for sowing seeds. In March - 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31.
