Favorable days for planting seeds for seedlings in March according to the lunar calendar. Planting seeds for seedlings in March according to the lunar calendar Lunar calendar for March planting seedlings
The success of growing horticultural crops depends not only on the correct selection of seeds and plant care, but also on observing the optimal timing for sowing certain vegetables and flowers. In most cases, the Lunar calendar is used to select a favorable planting date, which clearly indicates the days suitable for working in the garden.
In this article, we will consider the main nuances of planting seedlings of flower and vegetable crops according to the phases of the moon, and also provide diagrams and tables of favorable days of the current year by months.
Lunar calendar 2018 for planting seedlings
In any such scheme, the phases of the moon are indicated, on which the spectrum of gardening depends.
Note: The phases of the moon directly affect the condition of the plants; before any work in the garden, be sure to check with special tables.
Each phase has a specific impact on crops. For example, during the new moon, plants are greatly weakened, so it is not recommended to plant or graft cultivated plants at this time. Free time can be used for weed removal or sanitary pruning.
When the growing moon comes, you can freely plant and transplant crops, the edible part of which is underground. Also, this period is suitable for fertilizing, watering and vaccination.
During the Full Moon, it is better to do weed removal, loosening or hilling the beds. In addition, at this time, you can harvest and planting material. However, pinching, pinching, or grafting cannot be done during the Full Moon.
Another favorable period for landing is the phase of the waning moon. At this time, you can not only plant plants, but also carry out top dressing, weed and pest control.
Lunar calendar for 2018 by months
It is difficult to determine the phases of the moon on your own, therefore, for this purpose, a special scheme is used, which clearly indicates in which phase the Earth's satellite will be on a certain day of the month.
As a rule, they are released monthly, for example, for February or March, when seeds are sown. In addition, there are general tables for the year, which are more suitable for those gardeners and gardeners who are engaged in year-round cultivation of vegetables and flowers.
Since our article is devoted to growing seedlings, which are sown mainly in February or March, let's take a closer look at the data for these months.
Landing in February
The end of winter is the right time to plant seedlings of vegetable and flower crops in the greenhouse. Such early sowing will allow you to grow healthy full-fledged plants until spring, when transplantation is carried out in open ground.
Growing quality seedlings depends not only on your personal efforts to care for seedlings, but also on the phases of the moon (Figure 1). The best days for planting any crops are the 6th, 8th and 21st of the month. In addition, there are favorable days for certain types of plants. Root seeds can also be sown from the 2nd to the 13th, and crops, the edible part of which grows above the soil surface, from the 17th to the 26th.
Figure 1. Favorable and unfavorable days of February The 1st, 14th-16th, 27th and 28th are considered unfavorable for any work in the garden and garden. At this time, it is better to do pre-sowing seed treatment, sanitary pruning of trees and shrubs in the garden, or weed removal in the garden.
March planting calendar
March is also considered a good month for planting vegetable and flower crops for seedlings. However, as in the case of other periods of the year, before carrying out the procedure, it is necessary to check the sowing schedule in order to sow on a day favorable for the plants (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Seeding recommendations for March The most favorable days are considered the 1st, 20th and 21st of the month. At this time, you can safely plant any crops, both flower and vegetable. If you are planning to sow root crops, then it is better to do it from March 3 to March 12 or 16, since these days are considered the best for this type of crop. Planting plants whose fruits are above the soil surface is best done on March 1, 18-26, 29 and 30. March 2, 13-15, 17, 27, 28 and 31 are considered unfavorable for sowing.
Lunar calendar for April
Crops that have a short growing season and quickly increase their green mass can be sown for seedlings in April. In addition, most seedlings are not transplanted outdoors this month due to the risk of frost, so if you did not have time to grow them in February or March, you can do it later in April.
The most favorable days for planting any flowers and vegetables in this month are the 3rd, 17th and 18th. It is advisable to plant root crops from 1 to 8 or from 12 to 15, and plants that form fruits above the soil surface - on April 17-22 and 25-29.
9-11, 16, 23, 24 and 30 are considered absolutely unfavorable, so during this period it is better to do weed removal or preventive treatment of plants against diseases and pests.
Favorable and unfavorable days for seedlings in May
In May it is already quite warm, and in the southern regions there are almost no night frosts, therefore, during this period, seedlings are prepared for transplantation (hardening) or the grown seedlings are directly transferred to the garden.
It is best to carry out these procedures on May 9, 16 and 17, since these days are considered favorable for most crops. Root crops are recommended to be planted from 1 to 6, 9-14, 30 and 31 numbers. Favorable days for plants that form fruits above the ground are May 16-19 and May 22-28.
Planting seedlings in the ground in June
June, as the first month of summer, is considered warm enough for transplanting seedlings into open ground, even those crops that are very sensitive to temperature changes. As with growing seedlings, when transplanting, it is necessary to take into account the phases of the moon's satellite.
Note: Root crops are planted with a decrease, and species with aboveground fruits - with a growing moon.
As in the case of the previous months, the 7th and 14th are considered the best for gardening work with any plants. It is advisable to plant root crops on June 1, 2, 6-12 and 29, and varieties that bear fruit on the aerial part - on June 14, 15, 18-27. It should also be borne in mind that this month there are several unfavorable days during which you can only remove weeds and fight pests. It is not recommended to disturb cultivated plants on June 3-5, 13, 16, 17, 28 and 30.
It is not difficult to choose the right time for planting seedlings if you know that the movement of juice in plants depends on the phase of the moon.
The state of plants depending on the phase of the Earth's satellite can be determined as follows:
- To the growing moon sap flow is activated in the aerial parts of plants, and the root system is weakened during this period. Therefore, during this period, it is recommended to plant varieties whose fruits are above the ground (peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, etc.).
- Waning moon phase more suitable for sowing root crops, since during this period the movement of juices in the roots is activated. At this time, top dressing can be carried out, since the nutrients will be absorbed by the root system faster.
- During a New Moon or a Full Moon it is not recommended to sow seeds. During this period, the Earth's satellite is weakened, and sap flow in all plants slows down.
If you do not know how to determine the phases of the moon yourself, it is better to use a special table that indicates unfavorable and favorable days for certain vegetables and flowers (Figure 3).
Note: It is important to consider that soaking the seeds for germination should also be done on favorable days. This is necessary, since soaking, in fact, is sowing: when placed in a humid environment, the seeds begin to receive nutrients, and if the procedure was carried out during an unfavorable period, the planting material may not sprout.
Figure 3. Detailed sowing calendar by day It should be borne in mind that sowing and planting plants according to the phases of the moon has some other features that must be taken into account when growing seedlings. The key details of this process will be discussed below.
We sow and plant according to the lunar calendar 2018
For planting to be successful, several important details of this process should be taken into account. First, you should buy seeds only from trusted manufacturers and check them for germination. To do this, it is enough to lower the planting material into the water: low-quality seeds will float, and high-quality seeds will sink to the bottom.
Secondly, it is necessary to properly carry out pre-sowing seed treatment. In most cases, planting material is germinated or hardened. If you plan to germinate, choose an auspicious day for this.
In addition, it is necessary to choose the right time for caring for seedlings. For example, it is better to apply fertilizers in the phase of the waning moon, since at this time sap flow in the roots of plants is activated, and nutrients are absorbed faster. On unfavorable days, you can engage in the removal of weeds or loosening the soil.
Sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners: table
If you are planning to grow your own flower or vegetable seedlings, you will need a chart that clearly states which days are appropriate for which type of gardening work.
Table 1. Favorable days for planting seedlings of flowers and vegetables The table on our website shows a detailed scheme for the current year, which shows not only favorable and unfavorable days, but also various types of crops (Table 1).
For more information on using the phases of the moon when planting seedlings, see the video.
Good day to all.
Spring is coming. And with it, spring garden chores are increasing. Although some, but still the main peak falls on the first spring month.
In February, seeds for seedlings are sown mainly in the north of our region. There are few sunny days and quite cold. Therefore, it is necessary to engage in landings earlier. Seedlings take longer to germinate, more difficult to adapt. There is even such an unspoken rule that for the development of seedlings in the north two days, as in the south one.
If you follow the growth and development of seedlings, then in the south they need less time for this. Therefore, what is planted in the north in February, in the south they do it in March.
In any case, in each region, it is primarily taken into account how long a particular plant sprouts after sowing. It also takes into account the growing season and the timing of its landing in open ground. And also where you will plant a grown and strengthened plant - on the street, or in a greenhouse.
From this calculation we consider, calculating the most convenient and correct day for this.
So in March, most gardeners are already quite busy preparing and planting seeds in the soil. But there are also those who only compile lists of necessary crops, the seedlings of which will subsequently be purchased on the market, and the grown ones will be planted in their garden.
However, within the framework of this article, we will talk specifically about seedlings, their planting and preparation for planting in open ground.
I would like to start with the lunar calendar. Many gardeners one way or another are guided by favorable days for starting work. Therefore, the days below, which indicate when and what can be planted, will help you navigate.
On the growing moon, it is good to plant crops that produce terrestrial fruits. These days in March fall on the numbers from 9 to 20. The most successful of them depend on which sign of the zodiac our earthly satellite is in.
Root crops and bulbs are planted on the waning moon. In March, these will be days 1, 2 and from 22 to 31. But this does not mean at all that it is forbidden to sow and plant other plants on these days. There are simply the most favorable days, and not so favorable ones.
The full moon, during which no work can be carried out, falls on the 21st in March. And also forbidden are 4, 5, 6 numbers, on which the new moon falls. On March 3, the waning Moon is in Aquarius, the sign of which in itself is not fertile. Therefore, on this day it is better not to make landings and transplants.
From March 10 to 12, it is best to sow the seeds of onions, celery, any greens, and transplant low-growing varieties of tomatoes. Engage in planting and transplanting seedlings of eggplant, pepper, cabbage.
On March 13-14, it’s good to plant ampelous and climbing plants, and you can also plant any greens, radishes, beans and peas.
From 15 to 16 is the time to soak and sow cucumber seeds for heated greenhouses. The same applies to tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, physalis, early ripe cauliflower and white cabbage, broccoli, Chinese cabbage.
On the 20th, annual flowers can be sown.
March 23 is a very auspicious day for planting radishes, beets, celery and parsley. As well as soaking seeds for seedlings.
In addition, the picture below will help you figure out what time, which plants can be sown.
Let me also remind you that not everyone is so strictly guided by the calendar. They do not carry out landing work only on the days of the full moon and new moon. On the rest of the days, they freely plant, transplant, water and take care of the plants.
And someone adheres to such a rule that it is best to plant and sow on the so-called "women's" days, that is, days whose names end with the letter "A". These are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Be that as it may, landing should be started only with a good mood and desire.
Now let's see specifically which crops are sown for seedlings in the month of March. And although we already landed many of them back in February, we didn’t do it all. For many, this is the most complete month for working with seeds and land.
In addition, we must not forget that the timing of planting directly depends on the climate and on the specific region.
Sowing tomato seeds in the first month of spring
When sowing tomato seeds for seedlings, several main factors are usually always taken into account.
- the climate of a particular region
- variety of tomatoes and their growing season
- age of seedlings at the time of their planting in open ground
- where they will land - on the street, or in a greenhouse
These are the most basic criteria for landing, but there are also a number of indirect ones.
Tomato varieties can be divided into three main categories according to their ripening time. And it depends on when you need to sow the seeds of a particular variety.
- early ripe varieties - from 45 to 50 days;
- mid-season - from 55 to 60 days;
- late-ripening - 70 days;
If you have tall varieties, then sowing can be carried out from February 20 to March 10. Early and mid-season varieties are sown from 10 to 22. Ultra early, as well as cherry tomatoes, are planted at the end of the month, or early April.
To correctly determine the timing of planting, it is enough to know what varieties you have. This is written on the package with seeds. Also there are written the terms from the emergence of seedlings to the maturation of the culture, that is, the vegetative period. Usually it is equal to one hundred days. We add to them about a week more, during which the seeds usually germinate, well, and another three days for adaptation.
As a result, we get the most accurate planting dates when planting a particular variety. For example, if early varieties are sown at the end of March, then by the beginning of June they can be planted in the ground, and in July we will already get the first harvest.
Here, everyone chooses the most convenient way for themselves.
Before planting, the first step is to prepare the seeds: sort, disinfect and soak them. After that, land them to a depth of no more than 1.5 centimeters. Seedling containers must be covered with plastic wrap. In the room where the boxes with seeds are located, the temperature should be from 22 to 25 degrees Celsius.
In general, light and temperature conditions are very important for the growth and development of any seedlings. Therefore, it is important to provide them with light for at least 12 hours. And for this it is necessary to install additional lighting for them in the form of special lamps or fluorescent lamps.
Already grown seedlings can be planted in glass greenhouses starting from the end of March. But this, of course, is for the southern regions. And for the northern regions, the dates can be postponed for a month, or one and a half, depending on the weather. In ordinary film greenhouses, seedlings are planted two weeks later.
How to plant bell peppers on seedlings
In March, it is good to sow pepper seeds. If this work is carried out during the period of the growing moon, then the growth of green mass will be very active and the seedlings will grow strong and strong.
When planting, it should be borne in mind that the growing season for seedlings is quite large, and reaches 140 days. Peppers also have a fairly long germination period. So, if a temperature of 25 - 28 degrees Celsius is provided in a mini-greenhouse, then seedlings will appear only on the 10th day. If the temperature is much lower, for example 15 - 16 degrees, then the seeds can germinate up to one month.
If you live in a cold climate region, then you need to sow the seeds without delay, right at the beginning of March. Otherwise, the harvest may not be expected. And it is better to do it in February.
For warmer areas, seeds can be sown later. And in any case, consider the fact that at home it is not worth overdoing it much. Otherwise, when planting seedlings in the ground, they can get sick for a long time, slowly adapt and even die.
Since the root system of pepper is weak, it is necessary to sow the seeds immediately in separate cups, so that later the seedlings do not dive. This must be taken into account when landing.
The second important condition is temperature. During the day it should be at least 20-25 degrees, and at night - at least 15-18 degrees Celsius.
As for illumination, unlike tomatoes, peppers do not need additional light. And after the first sprouts appear, the temperature can be reduced to 16 degrees.
In this video you can see when and how to plant bell pepper.
Be sure to watch the video, it tells in detail about all the conditions for the proper cultivation of bell pepper seedlings. It is short and helpful.
Sowing and growing eggplant seeds
Another traditional crop is eggplant. If earlier they were grown only in the southern regions of our country, now they are successfully grown in the northern regions.
Eggplants are warm and photophilous. Pretty much the same as tomatoes. Seeds are planted from mid-March. Since that vegetable crop needs a full day of light, you will have to take care of additional lighting. Provide seedlings with light for 12 to 14 hours. At night, it must be turned off for the plants to rest.
When sowing seeds, the main condition is good, loose soil. It can be purchased at the store. Although many store it on their own since the fall. To do this, take a mixture of sod land, humus and peat and mix. Subject to all conditions, in a month and a half, good strong seedlings will appear and, of course, in the future, a wonderful harvest.
For central Russia, early and mid-ripening eggplant varieties are best suited. The term of their maturation is much less than that of the later ones.
In open ground, they are best planted sometime after June 10. Eggplants are very thermophilic, so when planting them on the street, or in a greenhouse, it should already be warm enough, including at night. The vegetative period is about 90 days. If we count this period back, we get that seeds can be sown in the first half of the month.
Sowing cabbage for seedlings
Cabbage is perhaps the most popular culture among summer residents. What kind of varieties they do not grow in their gardens. But the most common is, of course, white cabbage.
The most suitable varieties for sowing seedlings in the first month of spring will be such as early-ripening and mid-ripening white cabbage, early-ripening cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and early-ripening Savoy cabbage.
The first shoots of cabbage usually appear after 10 days. After 50 days, the seedlings are finally formed and two months after sowing the seeds, they can be transplanted into the ground. Early varieties need 90 to 120 days to mature normally.
You should not sow cabbage too early, because, like tomatoes, with a lack of light, it will begin to stretch. As a result, the seedlings will be weak and unsuitable for further cultivation.
In addition, weak frail plants are prone to such a disease as "black leg"
Features of growing pumpkin from seeds
Pumpkin is an interesting plant, but very few grow it in the garden. However, it happens that a couple of plants still find their place in the summer cottage.
When planting seedlings in open ground, their age must be at least 30 days. If we add here another five days, which will take for the emergence of seedlings, we get the timing of sowing seeds for seedlings.
Unlike other garden crops, pumpkin seeds are prepared long before planting. Usually, in order to get more female flowers - it is from them that the fruits then develop, the seeds are heated on a battery for two months. After that they are sorted. Prepare a salt solution and throw seeds into it.
The ones that float are discarded. The rest germinate and, after the appearance of the root, are sown in the soil. Sowing takes place 20 days before they are planted in the ground. It is best to grow seedlings directly in peat pots. Then plant seedlings in the ground right in them. When watering, the peat will get wet and mix with the ground. But for this it is necessary to water the seedlings in a timely manner and not just spray, but water.
The temperature regime for the growth and development of plants should be 8-25°C during the day and 15-18°C at night. After germination, the temperature drops to 15-18°C during the day and to 12-13°C at night. However, after 6 days, everything can be returned to the previous conditions. This week-long period with a decrease in temperature should not allow the seedlings to stretch.
Seedlings are watered regularly, but without transfusion. Seven days after the appearance, it is necessary to feed with a solution of nitrophoska (15 g per 10 l).
After the already stable heat is established, the seedlings are transplanted to a permanent place.
Sowing beet seeds for seedlings in March
Well, another popular and tasty vegetable crop is beets.
For seedlings, beet seeds are sown at the end of the month. In principle, even in April it can be sown, since beets must be planted in open ground no earlier than mid-May. This culture does not like the cold very much. But if you are going to grow it in a greenhouse, then you can start sowing in March.
Since the plant does not tolerate frost well, it is planted in the ground only when the soil warms up to +8 - +10 ° С.
What is the benefit of sowing beet seedlings? The fact that you will receive the first harvest 25 days earlier than when planting immediately in the ground.
Before planting, the seeds germinate.
Seeds can be sown in wooden or plastic boxes. After you spread the seeds on the ground, they must be covered with a small layer of soil and tamped a little. After that, the crop is watered. The box with seeds is covered with polyethylene and kept until germination at a temperature of +18 - +20°C. After germination, the temperature drops to +16°C.
In order not to dive beets, it is better to sow them immediately in separate cups. Once every two weeks, seedlings are fed with liquid fertilizer such as Fertik, Sotka or Krepysh.
We also looked at how to plant seeds of celery, leeks, parsley and remontant strawberries. Therefore, we will not repeat ourselves and move on to decorating our garden - to flowers.
What flowers should be planted in March
In February, we planted already, in the same way we told how to plant begonias.
And in this spring month, a very large number of flowers are also planted for seedlings.
Primrose
If primrose does not grow on your site, then it's time to plant its seeds. There are more than a thousand varieties and hybrids. It is grown both outdoors and in containers. But it must be borne in mind that her seed germination is quite low. You can increase it by first carrying out stratification, otherwise hardening.
After germination, the plant needs to be provided with warmth and sufficient light. After planting plants in open ground, it is rather unpretentious. Blooms profusely in early spring, and may bloom again in late summer.
Likes sun and loose soil. It can also grow in partial shade, but at the same time there will be much fewer flowers, and they themselves will not be as large as in the sun.
Gatzania
A very beautiful flower that blooms almost until frost. The plant is not very tall, compact, with beautiful flowers of the original color. They look like colored small daisies. It is enough to plant several of these plants in the garden, and they will delight us with abundant flowering all season long.
It is best to sow the seeds immediately in separate containers. But in case of lack of space, you can first plant in a common container at a distance of 3 centimeters from each other. Or plant first in peat tablets, and then transplant directly into this tablet, into individual cassettes.
A feature of successful cultivation is the temperature and light conditions. For a seedling, lighting is necessary for at least 12 - 14 hours. Also, in order for the plant to be strong, it must be fed with complex fertilizers, about once every two to three weeks.
When planting in the ground, keep in mind that glazing is a sun-loving flower. Therefore, select appropriate places for transplantation for her.
Carnation
Depending on the plant variety, seeds begin to be planted at the end of January, especially varietal cloves. And simpler ones, such as ordinary grass, are sown just in March. The soil for growing is selected from peat, garden soil with the addition of sand.
Seeds are sown in common containers, and when two true leaves appear, they dive into separate pots. Weak plants are removed.
With the onset of heat, they are planted in open ground. As a rule, this can be done already in May. This perennial, unpretentious plant is loved to be grown on all sorts of alpine slides.
They like to plant Chinese carnations on their plots. It is very beautiful, the inflorescences usually have a terry multi-colored shape. This variety is not afraid of frost, and can withstand temperatures up to -15 degrees.
In addition to these flowers, seeds of balsam, lobelia, salvia, snapdragon, bluebells, phlox and other lesser-known flowers are sown for seedlings in March.
And also you can see in the table what other flowers you need to plant in the first month of spring.
The most favorable days for planting flowers in March:
- annuals - 1, 3, 4, 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30
- biennial and perennial - 1, 3, 4, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30
- bulbous - 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 30
Video on how to care for seedlings in March
And in this form you can find out what should be planted in the first spring month. And also get acquainted with some tips for planting and caring for seedlings. Find out what temperature regime to withstand for heat-loving, medium-loving and cold-resistant crops day and night.
Familiarize yourself with the basic rules for picking seedlings.
And also learn how to harden plants before planting in open ground.
Planting seeds and caring for seedlings is a very responsible and exciting activity. To see how before your eyes a tiny thin seedling appears from a small seed. Then watch how every day he gains strength, grows stronger, turns green. Water it with a pipette, wrap it up and warm it from the cold, give it as much light as it needs. Feed when he needs it.
And although all this is work, but how grateful it is! When the plant is still small and not quite strong, we rejoice at every change for the better. We help him in this with all our strength. And the plant, seeing your care for it, blooms with lush flowers in the summer, gives a bountiful harvest and pleases until we collect the last vegetables from it and collect the seeds from the flowers.
And I sincerely wish you excellent healthy and strong seedlings, and in the summer of the same excellent harvests.
All the best!
Gardeners spend a lot of effort, time and money to get a good harvest. But sometimes they forget to use the lunar planting calendar, but the calendar for March 2018, its favorable days, will allow you to choose the right time for sowing.
The calendar contains important tips for carrying out other works on the ground to achieve maximum effect. Gardeners cannot ignore the importance of the lunar planting calendar for March, it is worth saying that in 2018 there are enough favorable days for planting.
March 1
The Moon is in an infertile sign. You can only sow annual flowers, which will be strong, resistant to various diseases, but at the same time small. It is possible to sow vegetable plants, their root system will have time to quickly form, but the fruits from such crops will not be juicy and have a poorly grown smell and taste characteristic of the variety.
2nd of March
You can plant plants, but you should choose only those about which there is no great expectation of a good harvest. From such plants, you should also not wait for the opportunity to collect high-quality seed. It is recommended to grow peppers and cucumbers, a range of ornamental plants. Among the fruits and berries, grapes and gooseberries that are favorable for planting on March 2 can be distinguished.
March, 3rd
The heavenly body passes the sign of Libra, which is characterized by medium fertility. A stable day for planting many plants. They will give a good harvest, from which excellent seeds will remain. The fruits will have a wonderful taste, they will have a rich aroma and large size. Plants planted on March 3 will not be difficult to cope with various diseases.
March 4
On the 17th lunar day, you can plan different work on earth. It is worth having time to plant plants that are new to the gardener. Negative lunar energy begins to weaken. Due to the increased gravitational attraction, the good pressure of the underground parts of the crops, the plant juices will rush down, which contributes to the excellent development of the roots, the formation of leaves, which in the future will allow the culture to freely form fruits.
5th of March
It's not worth planting. Worth doing other things. A good result will be from rooting. You can take care of the planted crops. To carry out loosening of the soil, to establish a water regime, to choose a good material for feeding. A negative result will be difficult to obtain after pinching on March 5th. Gardeners can harvest medicinal plants.
March, 6
While the Moon is in the sign of Scorpio, the gardener will be able to get the most out of his work if he devotes a day to sowing. This is the best time to plant, because it will not be difficult for the plant to form a powerful stem and a strong root system, which is the key to an excellent harvest and a good chance of getting excellent seed material from the grown crop. The fruits will have excellent taste.
March 7
Gardeners should think about pre-sowing preparation. To do this, soak the seeds. Sowing is possible only if the crop being grown is subject to long-term storage or it is grown to produce seeds. Plants planted on March 7 will show excellent immunity to many diseases. It is advisable to plant carrots and celery, radishes and potatoes, tomatoes or eggplants on these lunar days.
March 8
The celestial body has again returned to the zodiac house of Sagittarius. The moon promotes the rapid growth of seedlings planted on this day. The aerial part will grow rapidly, but the roots remain weak. You should not count on a high-quality crop of crops planted on this day. Planting can only be done by choosing decorative flowering plants for these purposes.
9th of March
According to the calendar, you need to start growing only plants from which you need to collect seeds. Planting for the purpose of growing a crop for a large harvest is useless. The plant will be distinguished by abundant greenery, strong stems, but it will bear fruit poorly. It is recommended to start planting medicinal plants, planting fruit and berry crops. In general, it is better to do alternative things on the ground, for example, to dig a site.
10th of March
A gardener can actively work on the site, for example, cut trees, dig up the ground, dig up flower bulbs, but it is absolutely impossible to sow. The results will not please the gardener, so the day should be devoted to alternative activities.
11th of March
One of the best days of the month, perfect for sowing different crops. The plant will actively peck, which will lead to the rapid appearance of the first true leaves. Such seedlings will delight gardeners with resistance to adverse external factors. Seed material from crops planted on this day will be of the highest quality.
March 12
It is worth planting plants that can then be stored for a long time. You can plant onion and root crops by soaking seeds. Gardeners who are not yet ready to plant should start pre-planting. It is recommended to plant shrubs and cereals on March 12. Legumes, perennial and winter crops will grow well.
March 13
While the Moon is in Aquarius, you should not count on a good result from landing. You can grow several bushes from the resulting seedlings, but the yield from them will be minimal. In addition, half of the seedlings will not survive the transplant, this is facilitated by the weak defenses of the culture and a poorly developed root system.
March 14th
Planting crops should be rescheduled for a more suitable time. While it is recommended to carry out pasynkovanie. A good result will give pinching procedures. Gardeners can safely engage in weeding and caring for weak seedlings. It would be nice to have time to loosen, trim the tendrils of strawberries, preventive procedures to protect plants from pests.
March 15th
You can plant only flowers from which you can get unusual specimens in color. Bulbous flowers will take root with a high probability. It is good to plant medicinal plants.
March 16
While the Moon is in Pisces, you can get the most out of your work on earth. Planting on this day will lead to a high yield, but it will not be possible to get a lot of seed material from the plants, which will allow you to collect good fruits again a year later. The crops will develop excellent root systems, the stem will be relatively small, but fruiting will remain at a high level. Best time for nightshade crops, not bad for cucurbits.
March 17
Gardeners need to refrain from planting, transfer it to another period. It is advisable to use mineral fertilizers to feed already planted plants. You need to choose both organic material and mineral, but do not overdo it with doses. A good time for budding and pinching.
18th of March
Farmers will not be able to get a good harvest from crops planted on March 18th. Plants will not be able to get stronger and properly distribute energy for the development of the aerial parts of the culture, the formation of fruits. Despite good germination, the yield will remain at low levels. For seed purposes, compressing plants is also not recommended today.
March 19
The moon moves into the constellation Aries, which makes it possible to plant radishes and Beijing cabbage. Spicy green crops will develop well. It will be possible to achieve the maximum return on crops such as parsley, mustard, lettuce, radish. It is worth planting other crops solely to obtain good seed material, while the growing season should not exceed 35 days.
20th of March
Day for active work on earth. Planting will be extremely successful, in the future the plants will bring large, tasty fruits that will be protected from many diseases and pests. The fruits from the crops that were planted on March 20 will be able to be stored for a long time, but the seeds from them will not give a good result in a year.
March 21
The positive landing period continues. The gardener should make every effort to have time to plant as many crops as possible. Planting on this day will be a guarantee of a good harvest, long storage, friendly germination. It is not recommended to plant crops for seeds; it is better to pay attention to those whose fruits will be laid aside for the winter laying.
March 22
Plants are under the influence of Gemini, which makes it possible to successfully plant vegetables. But from such fruits one should not expect a rich taste and aroma, which is typical for one or another variety. The stem of the plant will be small and unstable. Gardeners will have to spend a lot of time creating a support for the plant in order to preserve the crop.
March 23
You can plant those crops that bear fruit underground. It is possible to plant some flowers that are distinguished by an underdeveloped root system. It is in the roots that all the juice of the plants will be put in because of the gravitational influence.
March 24
Gardeners need to plant low-growing plants that will get the maximum benefit from the effects of Cancer. This is not the right time for tall crops that will not be able to demonstrate the stability and strength of the stems. Without garters, planting tall crops, you can not do. And even after that, you should not count on a big harvest. Gardeners can plant decorative leafy plants. It is possible to carry out loosening as efficiently as possible, to choose the right irrigation regime for planted plants.
March, 25
Plants after planting will rise extremely quickly. The movement of the juice is directed upward towards the stem, this will give the aerial part additional strength. Great day for different jobs on the ground. The gardener should take care of feeding and grafting crops. On the 9th lunar day, cuttings will be productive.
26 March
The idea of planting vegetables should be abandoned in favor of planting medicinal plants. Ornamental plants will also sprout well, but the seeds from them will be weak and even additional treatments will not help fix this. Astrologers allow March 26 to thin out seedlings for better development.
March 27
The force necessary for development will be directed from the roots to the stems. This means that it is necessary to plant plants whose fruits will develop above the ground. A stable period for planting tomatoes, peppers. Plant growth will be active, crop defenses at maximum, which guarantees a successful transplant into open ground in the future.
March 28
Sunflower is sown, which will be stored well and for a long time and will make it possible to obtain excellent oil. Other cultures for landing on this day will react extremely negatively. It is recommended to take care of existing crops planted earlier. It is worth loosening the soil, changing the irrigation regime. You can dig flower bulbs.
March 29
Sowing while the Moon is in Virgo is recommended only annual flowers. They will be small in size, but extremely strong and resistant to unstable weather, diseases. Having planted vegetables, you can expect not a small harvest and the almost complete absence of good material for sowing in the future. There will be few fruits from plants, their taste will not be the best.
30th of March
Considering the lunar landing calendar for March in 2018, it is worth considering all the favorable days and March 30 is not one of them. But the time is good for picking. It is good to grow strong seedlings in a new place. The level of damage during transplantation will be insignificant, the plants will quickly get used to a new place of growth and development.
March 31
The moon is heading towards the sign of Libra, which means you can plant plants whose fruits the gardener is going to lay for storage. The keeping quality of the fruit will be maximum if you have time to sow on this day. The harvest will be of high quality and not bad for consumption immediately after harvest.

Tomatoes come from Peru, where the climate is very hot and dry. How to provide native conditions for tomatoes in our climate? For example, they grow in my open field, and the summer is cool, and it rains very often. At the same time, I want the bush to bear fruit until autumn, and give fruits, as they write on a bag of seeds - 10 kg per bush. In order to provide this southerner with comfortable conditions and, accordingly, a large harvest for himself, you need to be able to properly form a bush.
Quite often, gardeners want to get their favorite plants at no extra cost. The first thing that comes to mind in such cases is cuttings. And if you are a beginner or "lazy" gardener? Or do you come to your summer cottage only on weekends, and even then every other time, and still want to relax there? Then the idea with cuttings may not succeed. Why not let nature do almost all the work for us - propagate our favorite plants with layering?
My strawberry beds have been around for ten years. I, of course, update the bushes. Earlier, when May and June were dry, I took two buckets of delicious berries and another half a bucket of berries covered with gray mold from my “plantation”. If the beginning of the summer was rainy, then I got two buckets of gray rot and only half a bucket of ripe strawberries. It's a shame to share the harvest with some rot! I launched an attack on this bastard. So, step by step - why my strawberries never get gray rot.
Date biscuit muffins are incredibly delicious, slightly crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the sweet date in this pastry becomes like chocolate. This simple dessert for tea is very easy to prepare in 30 minutes (along with pastries), it is only important to plan everything correctly, so follow my recommendations. To work, you will need silicone, metal or paper molds for cupcakes, since the dough for these biscuits is fluid, and without a mold it spreads.
In the middle lane, July has traditionally always been the hottest month of the year, but recently this is far from always the case. Sometimes May is hotter than July, and sometimes even September. But many plants traditionally open their flowers in July. And even with not the warmest weather, July is the most colorful and colorful month in the garden. In the middle of summer, almost all annual flowers traditionally bloom, including those sown in open ground.
For the vast majority of my acquaintances, the idea of “not digging” sounds completely outlandish. Yes, it’s a sin to hide it, my husband (also of the old agrotechnical hardening) looks with pain at the undug beds. Although everything grows and bears fruit well on them. Therefore, in the spring, I allow him to dig something up so as not to radically break his worldview. We gradually get used to it: abrupt changes in habits are not for everyone. I will share my experience of farming "without a shovel".

At the same time, the number of poisonings by these gifts of the forest increases sharply. How to protect yourself from trouble by going to the forest for mushrooms, and how not to become a victim of low-quality mushrooms, we will tell in the article.
As a child, I was delighted with a fairy tale where the main character cleverly hid from the chase. He stuck twigs from a bush into the ground, and a dense, impenetrable green forest immediately grew up behind him. I have been experimenting with twigs since I was four years old. So, summer cuttings are a great opportunity to get a young seedling of the desired variety. The procedure is simple, fast and almost always it is possible even for beginners. Unsuccessful cuttings are associated with an obvious neglect of its basic principles.

Country life is cloudless and beautiful only in the eyes of an inexperienced city dweller. Any gardener will confirm that there is an eternal battle here, we can only dream of peace. Not a flood - so drought, not cold - so hot. You will not have time to cope with another sore, as it is time to fight pests. And their darkness!

The entire future harvest depends on favorable and unfavorable periods, and it, in turn, depends on the position of the moon.
It is not recommended to sow and plant any crops, work with the earth during the period of the New Moon or Full Moon. The energy of the Moon during this period is weak and the plants practically do not take root, and give a poor harvest.
In the phase of the waning moon, you need to plant root crops: carrots, garlic, beets, radishes, daikon, turnips, radishes. Sap flow during this period is activated in the roots.
The waning moon is the best period for feeding the earth. The soil at the same time absorbs all the useful substances.
The waning moon is a good time for pruning trees and shrubs. During this period, prepared cuttings can be planted, flowers can be divided and transplanted, seeds and pits can be stratified.
When the moon is growing, the sap flow of any plants is concentrated in the upper part, the roots are weak at this time. Plants planted during this period are gaining strength above the ground.
Accordingly, during this period, it is necessary to plant crops whose fruits form above the ground: peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, physalis, zucchini, cabbage, pumpkin, squash, cucumbers, lettuce, leeks, greens.
