Lunar seed calendar for April 2019

Also pleasing to the eye.

April is the last month when you can still do seedlings. Very little time will pass, and worries of a completely different nature will come. Therefore, those who plant seedlings in open ground are trying to complete all the work of such a plan by the end of the month.

Let's take a closer look at this topic today.

Experienced gardeners know what and when to plant. For those who like to navigate by the lunar calendar, traditionally let's see what it says about the time of planting seedlings.

For spring gardening, as well as those that we have already described, the lunar calendar also advises us to pay attention to favorable and unfavorable lunar days.

In the first days of the month, it is recommended to plant seeds of onions, garlic and herbs. In the second half, starting from the 20th, it is better to sow eggplants, sweet and hot peppers. Although for the latter it will be already a bit too late for this. They were also sown for seeds.

But still, if you are late with this, then the table below shows the most favorable days for sowing seedlings for seedlings for these and other crops.

Do not forget about flower plants. Many gardeners pay much more attention to them than to any other. 2 - 3 numbers and from 18 to 30 it will be possible to deal with bulbous and tuberous flowers. This is the best period when plants can take root. April 7 - 8 and in the second half of the month, after 11, annuals can be planted.

The following table shows auspicious days for planting flowers.

In addition, it is already a warm enough month when you can also work on shrubs and woody plants. This table shows the days when it is most favorable to carry out work on planting and transplanting berry crops and fruit trees.

Grafting and rooting cuttings can be done quite often.

• Days for vaccinations - 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30.
• Days for rooting cuttings - 7, 8, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.

Naturally, in addition to favorable, there are also unfavorable days when it is not recommended to do some work. So, in April, these are the days of the new moon, which fall on the 4th, 5th and 6th of the month, as well as the full moon, which will be on April 19th.

These days, it is better not to poke around in the ground, but to start feeding already planted plants, or destroying pests, if any.

So, we decided on the timing of planting, now let's see what is planted these days.

We plant peas and turnips for seedlings

As we all know, this is already a rather warm month, especially in certain regions of our country. Therefore, it is worth thinking about planting seeds already either in a greenhouse or immediately in open ground. Including this can be done through seedlings, especially in a greenhouse. Which, by the way, many do.

Thus, all landings are conditionally divided into two categories:

1. Planting for seedlings
2. Landing in open ground.

Again, let me remind you that this can be done under the condition of suitable weather.

Folk sign:

Crocuses have bloomed - you can plant on the beds and carrots.

Leaves appeared on the birch - we plant potatoes.

Daffodils have bloomed - it's time to plant cabbage seedlings in the ground.

Where it is possible to plant plants already outside, in a permanent place, April is the month when digging and preparing the land begins. It is necessary not only to dig it up, but also to remove the roots remaining after the autumn digging and the first weeds that have appeared.

And also at this time, pest larvae may be in the upper layers of the soil, which should also be removed from there. After that, the soil must be loosened. Thus, it will not only become better for planting, but also warm up faster.

I suggest that you dwell in more detail on what can be planted in soil that has recently been freed from snow.

For early plantings in still cool soil, peas are quite suitable. Morning frosts, which may still occur this month, are not terrible for its seedlings. For planting, you must first select the seeds, place them in gauze and soak them in slightly warm water. Before soaking, they should be treated in water with the addition of boric acid. This will protect the plants from the invasion of the weevil.

The processing procedure lasts no more than 5 minutes.

It is better to sow already swollen seeds in the soil. They germinate faster and develop more easily. Peas should be planted to a depth of 4 cm. The best time for this is the end of the month.

If you are a fan of turnips, then early varieties are the best fit. As you know, she has a very small vegetative period, only 60 - 80 days. And therefore, having planted the first crop in April, it can be harvested in two months. At the same time, plant a second batch a little later, in order to subsequently save the crop for the winter.

Planting should be seeds treated with growth enhancers, or aged for 6 hours in an ash solution.

The seeds are sown in beds prepared in advance in the fall, into which fertilizers have been applied after digging since the fall. It is necessary to sow to a depth of no deeper than 2 cm. And if the soil is very clayey, then 1 cm will be enough. The beds for sowing should be well spilled with water.

Since garden crops are bred of different varieties according to the germination period, this month it is quite possible to plant all the same plants that are planted for seedlings in the winter.

Is it possible to plant tomatoes for seedlings in April

As you know, should be planted for seedlings around March. Which is what we generally do. Otherwise, they simply will not have time to ripen.

But anything happens, and if for some reason you did not have time to do this in March, then sow the seeds right from the very beginning of the month. But purchase only superdeterminant or ultra-early seed varieties for this. In this case, the first harvest can already be obtained around the beginning of July. This is of course under the most favorable conditions.

In the first week of the month, it is recommended to plant mid-season and late varieties for seedlings. They will have time to rise, grow and be ready for transplanting into the greenhouse, or outside. And also at this time you can sow the seeds of tomatoes that we want to grow on our balcony, or even on the windowsill. For example, cherry tomatoes.

Early maturing varieties that are very good for growing are Gavrosh, La-la-fa F1, Alaska and Boni-M. They have been proven for a long time, give good yields and delight gardeners.

In this case, before planting them, the seeds can no longer be soaked. And plant as usual - make shallow grooves if we plant in a common box, or make holes if we sow in separate cups. The depth of the holes is approximately 1 cm.

The first shoots appear quite quickly. So, if the air temperature at the same time is 25 degrees, then the seedlings will appear within 10 days after sowing.

Seedlings need to be watered regularly, and the daylight hours for them should be 12 hours. At the same time, feeding or picking can no longer be done.

Experienced gardeners say that seeds from last year germinate in their greenhouse. Someone even conducts experiments and drops one overripe tomato in a greenhouse. In the spring, it covers this place with an additional covering material, or glass. And these seeds germinate pretty quickly, of course, when it gets warm and the time comes for them.

As a rule, such seedlings grow quickly, they also quickly compare in size with seedlings that were grown on the windowsill. She doesn't get sick and does a great job with the transplant.

Sowing and growing cabbage

April is the time when all varieties of cabbage are actively sown for seedlings - this is our favorite white cabbage, beautiful red cabbage, as well as cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Savoy and broccoli.

Sowing time directly depends on the variety and variety, and lasts, as a rule, throughout the month. It is only necessary to count, again depending on the variety, 40-50 days, and it can already be transplanted to a permanent place on the street.

If at home it is grown at a cool temperature of 12 degrees, then in April it can already be put in a polycarbonate greenhouse.

Everything is described in great detail in a special article. The information can be fully applicable to today's material.

I want to remind you that this culture does not particularly like warm conditions, but on the contrary, it feels better when it is cool. This, by the way, distinguishes it from other plants. And thanks to this feature, it is often planted in the ground even at the end of the month. Not afraid of those frosts that will certainly come.

The conditions for its cultivation are similar to other garden crops. But make sure that after the emergence of shoots, immediately create cooler conditions for them. Otherwise, the seedlings are pulled up and do not form a strong foundation. In this case, the stem will turn out to be weak and underdeveloped.

If you are a lover of such cabbage as Beijing or kohlrabi, then they are planted immediately in the ground. They do not require pre-sowing in boxes on window sills.

Any cabbage requires planting in fertile soil. Therefore, this should be taken care of in advance. She does not like sandy and clayey places, and also develops very poorly and grows in acidic soil.

In addition, the soil before planting seeds should be watered abundantly. And this moisture must be maintained constantly. Therefore, it is very good to use mulch for this.

But there is one rule, immediately after planting in a well-spilled bed, it must be covered with a thin covering material, and not watered for two weeks after that. During this time, the roots must learn to extract moisture on their own. So the plant will be stronger.

When planting cauliflower and broccoli outdoors, choose a spot that gets the sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon.

For such varieties of cabbage as white, savoy and red cabbage, on the contrary, you need the sun.

Plant cabbage next to crops such as onions, beets, various salads, beets, or flowers. Cabbage does not like to grow alone, so such a neighborhood will only benefit it.

Planting cucumbers

April is the month when it is best to sow cucumbers for seedlings. And first of all, you need to acquire seeds. Now many do not recommend using their seeds for this. Considering that growing them is a waste of time. There are many seeds of various hybrids on sale that give excellent yields. So it's better to buy them.

Immediately decide when you want to plant cucumbers in open ground. For example, if you usually plant seedlings in a greenhouse, or under a film already in mid-May, then in early April they can be planted indoors for seedlings.

Seeds are planted in large dies, such as paper bags from milk or kefir. Or you can use peat pots. But they will need special care. They need daily watering, such pots quickly release moisture to the air and take it themselves. Therefore, it happens that they are additionally placed in a plastic cup.

For them, as in principle for others, the ground is being prepared in advance. It includes garden soil and humus, in equal amounts. Two liter cans of processed sand, half a liter of ash are added to a bucket of such a mixture, and you can add a tablespoon of superphosphate.

Seeds are pre-soaked, or planted as is, that is, without soaking. Here, who loves more. Usually, after sowing, seedlings appear in about a week, and grow quite quickly.

Sowing in a separate pot allows you not to dive tomatoes later. And in this case, it is very convenient to transplant them - simply by dumping them out of the landing tank along with a clod of earth, and planting them in a permanent place.

If, nevertheless, the seeds will be soaked before sowing, then use a 3% saline solution for this. In this way, you immediately reject unnecessary ones. It will be quite simple to determine this - empty shells will float up, and full ones will sink to the bottom. So it will be possible to quickly and easily separate good seeds from simple ones.

After this procedure, they should be washed in water at room temperature. Then wrap in a damp cloth or gauze. Put in a saucer and put in a warm place for germination. Top up with a little water if necessary. As a rule, the seeds will begin to hatch in 2-3 days.

When small white seedlings appear, the seeds can be planted in the holes to a depth of 2 - 4 cm. Then wait for them to germinate.

What else can you sow in April

We examined the main garden crops. But besides them, there are many more plants that we have not paid attention to, and which can also be sown in this last “seedling” month.

First, it is a variety of salad greens. For example, arugula, mustard leaf, cilantro, dill, parsley.

During this period, it is already possible to sow parsley in the ground, it is not afraid of frost. Moreover, you can sow both the root and the one that is used to grow greenery, that is, leafy. And when growing root parsley, in the summer we remove leaves from it in abundance, and the root can be left for the winter. And next spring, she will give us a fresh harvest again, and very early.

At the end of the month, spring garlic can be planted. Usually he winters in our garden, but you can plant him in early spring, he will also have time to give a good harvest.

We have already considered how to sow peas. But they did not note that other legumes can also be planted in a greenhouse. But it is better to do this when the air temperature warms up to a minimum of + 10 degrees.

Carrots are also sown in April - May, depending on the region where this needs to be done.

Radish is also not afraid of frost, so it is planted in the earliest warm periods, wrapping it with a film coating, or simply planting it in a greenhouse. And as a result, already in May, enjoy a tasty and healthy first harvest.

And of course, do not forget about beets. It can be planted in common dice immediately in the greenhouse, and covered with an additional film before germination. Do not forget at the same time that in this case it will be necessary to add deoxidizers such as dolomite and bone meal to the soil.

All of the above crops are sown as usual in fertile land. They provide timely watering and additional shelter on cool days.

What flowers are planted this spring month

And finally, with regard to flowers. April is the right time to plant many of them. Below is a rough list of the flowers that can be planted this month.

• Alyssum,
• Malopa,
• Lobelia,
• matiola,
• asters,
• Dahlias annuals,
• Marigold,
• Dimorfoteka,
• Mirabilis,
• Ipomoea,
• Sweet pea,
• Amaranth.

The most beloved and common of all are, perhaps, asters. There are just a huge number of varieties and varieties of them. What they just do not exist - high, low, needle-shaped, pion-shaped, pom-pom and similar to chrysanthemums. Flowers and their shades are also innumerable.

For seedlings, these annuals are sown in late March - early April. The soil they need is loose and light. It is best to sow the seeds to a depth of 8 mm. It is best to sow them in a greenhouse along the edge of the ridge. In this case, they will not interfere if you decide to plant pepper or tomato seedlings.

In a week, the first shoots will appear. When you brought the asters to the dacha and are ready to plant them in the ground, it is better not to plant them where the bulbous plants grew. Otherwise, the roots can be damaged by the fungus, which often appears after these species.

A flower such as a daisy is also well suited for planting.

The flowers are small and look great in a group planting. They bloom from early spring until the very snow. This is a perennial, but if you need to sow seeds, then you can do this throughout the month. Seedlings will appear in about 10 days.

And after two weeks, the plants can dive. Flowers can be grown at a temperature of 20 to 25 degrees.

Video on how and what flowers can be planted in April

Everyone wants to grow not only vegetables on their site, but also decorate their beds and flower beds. And therefore, women are always crowded in shops with flower seeds. They carefully read the information on the packaging and immediately figure out in their minds where this or that beauty can be planted.

The second month of spring is the time to plant many flowers for seedlings. At the same time, some of them are better planted in pots on the windowsill, and some are no longer scary to sow in a greenhouse. To do this, you need to know the features of a particular variety. Namely, what is their germination period, how fast they grow, and how afraid or not afraid of frost.

In accordance with this, they sow much more preferably.

The features of such sowing and varieties of flowers are described in this video. Check it out, it's pretty informative. And everyone who grows flowers on their site will find it useful.

It is only the beginning of April, and there is still snow outside the window. But every day, looking out the window, you see how he more and more gives freedom to the earth. And we are all impatient. I want to quickly arm myself with a shovel and a rake and create my own little piece of paradise. It won't be long before that magical time.

Have a good gardening season, dear friends! And great landings!

The moon significantly affects the life of our planet, this fact is confirmed by thousands of years of observations. But the most interesting thing for us is that gardeners and gardeners can use this influence to their advantage.

People have long noticed that there is a connection between the dates of sowing seeds and the subsequent development of plants. This connection has long been identified and actively used.
To make it easier for summer residents to determine “good” and “bad” planting days, the “Lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners for April 2017” was compiled. Look into it more often, put it into practice and get an additional harvest.

Moon phase in April 2017

• The moon is growing - from April 1 to 10
• The full moon will be April 11
• The moon is waning - from April 12 to 25
• New Moon - April 26

Auspicious days in April 2017 for planting seedlings, cuttings and grafting

Attention! The table shows the most favorable days for planting and sowing seeds, but this does not mean at all that planting cannot be done on other days. Nothing should be planted in prohibited days.

The calendar was compiled taking into account the fact that during the passage of the Moon through various signs of the Zodiac, it does not have the same effect on plants.

On certain days it is better to plant, transplant, and on others it is preferable to water, weed or treat the garden from pests.

The table shows the phases of the moon, its position in the signs of the zodiac and recommended work for gardeners - gardeners - flower growers for each day of the month.

Spring work in the garden

Already at the beginning of the month, it is necessary to harrow the soil dug up in autumn as soon as possible, sow early vegetables, install temporary film shelters, sow fast-growing cold-resistant (mustard, phacelia) green manure in the beds, which will be occupied by heat-loving vegetables.

Now they sell collapsible greenhouses of various calibers. They are installed over the prepared bed in a few minutes. You can simply cover the bed with a frame covered with a film, or insulate the area with a film on arcs.

The simplest shelter will allow you to get seedlings of radishes, lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions sown with nigella, kohlrabi at an earlier date than in open beds. Seeds of cold-resistant crops begin to germinate at low positive temperatures, but if the microclimate is made warmer by several degrees, shoots will appear faster, plants will develop more actively.

In addition to the tips of the Lunar sowing calendar, gardeners use the tips of nature:

They begin to sow on open beds in April when crocuses bloom in the garden.

A small greenhouse can be equipped for sowing seeds, picking tomato seedlings. You can sow dry tomato seeds immediately in the garden and cover with a film on the arcs. Low film tunnels will be obtained, which will provide favorable conditions for friendly seedlings and at first will protect seedlings from April weather changes. On warm days, such shelters can be opened or removed, accustoming tomatoes to direct sunlight, wind, and in May they can be completely removed.

The birch trees are green - we plant potatoes.

At the beginning of the month, we continue to prepare potatoes for planting: examining the tubers, we remove the sick, not germinated, with thread-like sprouts.

Some summer residents germinate cleanly washed tubers in plastic bags, having previously made holes in them. In more humid conditions, not only eyes, but also roots begin to develop on the tubers. It is only important not to break off those and others during transportation, landing.

When warm weather sets in (birches turn green), we plant potatoes, even if the eyes of the tubers have not reached the desired centimeter length: the tubers become more active in the soil.

The first daffodils for early cabbage

In the second half of April, we plant hardened seedlings of cabbage in the beds - Brussels sprouts, Peking, cauliflower, white cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi. You can navigate by the flowering of early daffodils growing in the sun. In cool weather, cabbage takes root well, begins to intensively grow leaves. In case of severe cooling, it is necessary to provide temporary shelter for plants with non-woven material, film.

When the soil in greenhouses at a depth of 10 cm warms up to 14 degrees, we plant tomato seedlings in unheated greenhouses. For planting seedlings or sowing seeds of cucumbers, we will wait for more heat. Cold soil is fraught with root rot for these heat-loving plants.

If the soil in the greenhouse has not changed for a long time, it is abundantly moistened with a solution of extrasol: 10 g (st. Spoon) per 10 liters of water, consumption - 7-8 liters of working solution per square meter. m. This helps to populate the soil with beneficial microflora and suppress the pathogenic one.

Around the middle of the month, at home or in a greenhouse, we sow seeds of cucumbers and zucchini in separate cups in order to plant seedlings that have not grown into open ground in May.

Nightshade seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants) for open ground dive, feed (1 g of complex fertilizer per liter of water), begin to harden in the open air. In April, it is not too late to sow tomatoes for seedlings - in small cassettes or cups, so that in May (without picking) they can be planted in open ground.

We try not to spoil the seedlings that have begun to outgrow: we lower the temperature (open the windows or take the plants to the loggia), water less, do not feed with nitrogen, improve the illumination.

At the end of the month, we dig green manure (both overwintered and sown in the spring) in the areas allotted for planting seedlings of heat-loving crops.

Lunar calendars for the following months:

The southern regions have already begun sowing, and in the Middle lane, the Urals, Siberia, the North-West, everything is just beginning. Seedlings of flowers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants grow on windowsills and in greenhouses and are “preparing” for transplanting to a permanent place. The hottest time begins - it's time to cut and graft trees, prepare beds for planting vegetables.

Our Lunar calendar of a gardener and flower grower will help determine the best days for planting and sowing, as well as for grafting and cuttings of an orchard. It was compiled on the basis of the influence of the position of the moon in the sky on plants, because it differs in different phases. But whether or not to adhere to the lunar-sowing calendar is up to you.

Moon phases in April 2019

• April 1-4 - waning moon
• April 5 - new moon
• April 6-18 - growing
• April 19 - full moon
• April 20-30 - decreasing again

Knowing on what days the moon is waxing and waning, you can make a planting plan yourself. You just need to know that when the night luminary grows, plant crops in which the crop is formed above the soil, and when it decreases, root crops. This is how you will get the greatest harvest, of course, following the basic agricultural techniques of these crops.
