Landing calendar in April May. Sowing calendar for April

Mid-spring is the time of the first visit to the country house. At this time, gardeners begin seasonal work. Some will say that there is still nothing to do in the country, and they will be mistaken. The list of cases is quite extensive. The lunar sowing calendar for April 2018 will tell you where to put more effort and what work to leave for later.

First of all, while you still have free time, you should revise your garden tools. Some tools need to be repaired, while others get rid of and purchase new ones in return.

The second month of spring is already bringing warmth. Snowman, as April is popularly called, dresses the earth with greenery and flowers. Folk omens for a month are based on many years of people's observations of nature and make it possible to determine what should be done to get a good harvest.

So, what should you pay attention to in April:

• it's wet outside - there will be a lot of mushrooms in summer;
• hot during the day - summer will be without winds;
• thunderstorm at the beginning of the month - a rich harvest of nuts;
• birch trees give a lot of juice - summer will be rainy;
• if the snow is rough in April, the harvest in summer will be rich;
• no swallows - spring will be cold;
• many stars - the harvest will be good.

What to do in early April

In the second month of spring, if necessary, you need to buy mineral and organic fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides. If there is still snow on the site, you need to shake off its excess from the bushes: melting snow can break their branches. If frosty days are still expected, then it is recommended, on the contrary, to cover the fruit plantations even more with snow.

What to do in the middle of the month

To prevent the area from turning into a swamp from excess moisture, water drainage grooves should be dug. If there is little snow, then it is recommended to install special shields for snow retention. Early spring is the time to prune trees and shrubs. The work is recommended to be performed when the above zero temperature is established outside. The list of work with trees includes not only the removal of dry branches. It is also necessary to form the crowns of the trees. Slices that have a large area should be covered with oil-based paint.

Get rid of dry twisted leaves from last year. Pests often hibernate in them. Dried fruits on trees are also cut. You should inspect berry bushes and identify buds that are very swollen. These kidneys often contain mites. The removed parts of the bushes must be burned as quickly as possible.

Work at the end of the period

In April, fruit trees are often infested with a variety of pests. The grower should examine the trunks and mark deep cracks. In such places, insects that are dangerous to plants often breed. Trees can also be affected by fungus.

If the bark of the tree has peeled off from its surface, it should be removed, the cracks formed must be repaired. For small cracks, you can use a garden putty. In case of large damage, preliminary cleaning must be carried out to sound wood. To close up the hollow, you can use a composition of clay and manure in equal parts with the addition of copper sulfate. The proportion of vitriol should be 3% of the entire mixture. The hollow is filled with the resulting composition, and the tree is wrapped with a clean bandage on top. The bandage should be removed after 4 months. During this time, healthy wood will appear under the fabric.

Lunar seed calendar for April 2018

In the middle of spring, the bright sun can be replaced by lingering rains. The weather is unstable, but despite this, summer cottage work is already in full swing.

April is a crucial period for every gardener. In this month, one should not only remove all excess water from the site, but also start planting seedlings, vegetables in the greenhouse and flowers. It is necessary to pay attention to almost all plants, from raspberries to clematis.

Factors of the influence of the moon on plants

1. New Moon (Moon is not visible from Earth)
2. Waxing Crescent
3. Full Moon (Moon fully illuminated by the Sun)
4. Waning moon
5. Position of the Moon in the Zodiac (in Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc.)
6. Rising moon
7. Falling Moon

Moon phases

New moon - energy decline, purification, release.

All plants or trees that have begun to wither or ache can in most cases be successfully cured if they have the tops removed during the waning moon in phase IV or, best of all, on the day of the new moon. The tip should be removed above that side branch, which will then grow upwards. Also, this rule applies to all plants that have begun to grow abnormally, as well as decorative flowers. The opposite effect will be if, for some reason, the tops of the plants are damaged on a full moon. This can severely damage healthy plants, diseased trees begin to rot, from the top down and are doomed to death.

Waxing Crescent

Plants and vegetables growing and developing above ground, should be planted or sown when the moon is waxing or, alternatively, when the moon is falling.

Plants should be transplanted with a waxing moon, alternatively with a descending moon. Plants transplanted at this time to another place quickly form new roots and grow well.

And for cuttings, the time of the growing or descending moon is the most favorable, they quickly and in a short time give roots. However, in the fall, working with cuttings gives the best results with the waning moon in phase IV and best of all on the day of the new moon. In most cases, the plant will then come to life again.

Vegetables and fruits harvested during the waxing moon should, if possible, be consumed immediately, if the moon is not rising.

Full moon - nature is filled with vitality and energy. The influence of the Lunar impulses on plants becomes especially strong and noticeable.

The full moon is a great time to harvest medicinal herbs. Almost all plants and their parts contain more useful substances, for example, plant roots collected on a full moon (and also during a waning moon) have greater strength than those dug out at other times.

Waning moon

Vegetables growing and developing underground, grow well when the day of planting or sowing falls on the waning moon. If for some reason this is not possible, alternatively you can select a day with a descending moon .

During the waning moon, starting from the day after the full moon, the earth can absorb much more liquidthan with the waxing moon.

Pruning of plants should take place during a waning moon, alternatively in a waning moon (from Gemini to Sagittarius). Plants trimmed at this time tolerate this procedure more easily, because juices do not come out of them. After pruning, they do not suffer large losses, since the juices go down. A favorable moment for pruning fruit trees and shrubs is the waning moon, best of all are the days of the fruit (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). The most unfavorable time is the growing Moon and the days of the leaf (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). The tree loses too much sap, and fruit formation will be inhibited. Although the fruit plant does not die, the yield decreases or it will not be at all. And if pruning occurs on the full moon and on the days of Cancer, then the survival of the plant cannot be guaranteed.

Fruits, vegetables and herbs that you want to dry should always be picked during the waning moon.

You should clean (wash) the shelves in the fruit storage cellar only when the Moon is waning in the signs of Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) or Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). This will prevent mold from forming.

The rising and falling moon

The rising and falling moon are designations that refer exclusively to the position of the moon in the signs of the zodiac, they do not depend on the phases of the moon.

Descending Moon: Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio (Sagittarius).

Rising Moon: Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, (Gemini).

Gemini and Sagittarius form "nodal points" at which the forces of the rising and falling moon change their direction - just as the forces are reoriented at the full moon and at the new moon. Therefore, Gemini and Sagittarius sometimes do not provide an opportunity to accurately determine the descent or ascent.

The signs of the zodiac, which the Sun passes from the winter solstice on December 21 (Sagittarius) to the summer solstice on June 21 (Gemini), have an inherent rising power - the power of winter and spring, which heralds gradual growth and flowering. Descending power is inherent in the signs of the second half of the year (from Gemini to Sagittarius) - this is the power of summer and autumn, which means maturity and relaxation.

The Moon, unlike the Sun, passes all the signs of the Zodiac within one month and these "ascending" and "descending" forces of the Moon also noticeably affect plants, animals and humans, and they are important and must be taken into account.

The time of the "descending" moon is the "planting time", the juices go down and promote the development of plant roots. At this time, the earth is ready to receive, it breathes in.

The time of the "rising" moon is also called the "harvest time", at this time the juices in plants rise up from the roots, favoring the development of the above-ground part of the plant, as well as the fruits. The earth is ready to give, it breathes out.

Factors "descending" and "rising" moon can be used additionally, or as an alternative, if the most favorable time for gardening or planting plants was missed.

Accounting for the position of the moon in the zodiac sign

Fruit days - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Flower Days - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Leaf days - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Root Days - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

When choosing the position of the Moon in the zodiac sign, you need to determine for yourself which part of the plant should get the best chances for development.

Tomatoes , for example, are fruits, not leaves, roots or flowers. Therefore, for them planting or sowing select the day of the fetus (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius).

Leafy vegetables (spinach, leeks, etc.) are best planted when the day is on the leaf (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Cabbage salad should be planted during the waning moon.

For planting root vegetables (carrots, radishes, onions), in a similar way, you need to choose the root day for planting (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn). Potatoes should be planted with the waning moon, but not too close to the new moon, but just after the full moon.

For flowers and most medicinal herbs flower day is good (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Vaccinations fruit trees should be produced when the moon is growing, best of all closer to the full moon and on one of the fruit days (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). The tree sap rises quickly into a new twig and connects it well to the base. If some reasons prevent the implementation of this work with a growing moon or a full moon, then choose a day when the moon is in the sign of Aries.

Along with the waning moon, care should be taken to fertilizer flowers , as well as watering, took place on leaf days (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). For flowers with weak root growth, you can sometimes choose the root day (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). For flowers that do not want to bloom properly, it is sometimes necessary to receive fertilizers on flower days (Gemini, Aquarius, Libra), but this should not be done too often, otherwise harmful insects may appear.

For vegetable and fruit crops the best time for fertilization - these are the days of the fetus (Aries, Sagittarius) with a waning moon or a full moon. Leo days are not so good for this, as the soil and plants dry out very much during this time. Artificial fertilizers should never be used on Leo's days: both the earth and plants will burn easily, especially on already dry soils. Leo is the most "fiery" sign in the entire zodiac.

For collecting and storing cereals, vegetables and potatoes the best days are when the moon is in the sign of Aries. The most favorable time for harvesting and laying for storage is the time of the rising moon (from Sagittarius to Gemini). Harvesting and storing are thus less dependent on the phases of the moon, and more on the zodiac sign in which the moon is located. Vegetables and fruits are more juicy during the rising moon, the juice remains in them during harvest and creates the best prerequisites for good preservation. The exception is the days of Pisces, although they are in the rising moon, but what is now collected should be used immediately. This time is not suitable for laying in a cellar or other way of storing vegetables and fruits. There is a danger of rotting, everything takes on a bland taste. It is imperative to avoid the days of the Virgin when harvesting, storing and preserving. Everything rolled up in cans these days is easily moldy. Cancer days don't go well either. Anyone who focuses on the rising moon should not engage in canning on the days of these signs.

Pest and weed control

With a few exceptions, the following practical rules apply:

1. All measures for fight against harmful insects taken with the waning moon.
2. Against those living in the earth, it is best to take action on one of the root days (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn).
3. Above ground pest control measures are especially effective when the Moon is in Cancer, but Gemini and Sagittarius are not bad either. Exception: fighting snails in the garden, the best time for her is the growing Moon in Scorpio.
4. Sometimes only radical pruning helps. It must be performed without fail during the waning moon

To remove weeds the most appropriate time is the waning moon, best of all in the sign of Capricorn. However, be careful not to damage beneficial plants, as they can also die if weeds are removed. The most unfavorable time for weed control is the days of Leo with the growing moon. But the "Lunar Gardeners" must know how these days can be used to advantage. At this time, all the weeds hatch, sprout, if "touched". If you dig up a garden bed in Leo when the moon is growing, then even the weakest seed of the weed will sprout and they can then be weeded out on the days of Capricorn when the moon is waning. Then the garden bed will get rid of weeds for a long time.

A very special time - this is May 18, until 12 noon. All the stems and weeds that are removed in these few hours no longer grow, and even their roots rot.

How to work with the lunar calendar

• planting seeds of annual flowers for seedlings
• planting white cabbage seeds for seedlings
• and sweet pepper for seedlings
• pick and sweet pepper.

Choosing dates for work:

1. Landing ... When choosing the day of planting, we rely on the following characteristics (descending significance) - the day of the Flower, the growing moon (planting of plants and vegetables growing and developing above the ground is favorable), the descending moon (the time of "planting"). We determine the dates according to the lunar calendar:

21, 22, 30 - favorable days

28, 29 - favorable days (Virgo Days, the best days for almost all work related to planting)

Seedlings and seedlings need to be watered especially carefully - a lack of moisture now can lead to a serious inhibition in the development of plants.

A good time to plant any crops that are not intended for long-term storage. It is better to sow plants that use the aerial part for food and are not intended for long-term storage.

Harvest leaves, grains, berries, mushrooms and aboveground vegetables - the time is favorable for processing and preserving the greatest amount of nutrients. Cuttings and plucking are also good.

Gardeners and gardeners have long noticed that there is a direct link between planting dates and subsequent harvest. There are favorable and unfavorable days for planting seedlings and sowing seeds. To make it easier to determine these favorable planting days, a lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners for April 2018 was drawn up. Open this calendar often and follow its recommendations.

Attention! The table shows the most favorable days for planting and sowing seeds, but this does not mean at all that on other days planting cannot be done. You should not plant anything only in forbidden days.

The calendar was compiled taking into account the fact that during the passage of the moon through various signs of the zodiac, it has not the same effect on plants.

On certain days it is better to plant, replant, and on others it is preferable to do watering, weeding or treating the garden from pests.

Gardening in April

It's time to finish pruning trees and shrubs. Prune only in dry weather, so as not to expose the skeletal branches of trees to the danger of contracting diseases: cytosporosis, black cancer, etc.

Do not leave cut branches, pieces of bark for a long time in the garden, remove immediately and destroy.

Examine the tree trunks. Lubricate the wounds from mice with garden varnish and tie with a dark film.

Close up the hollows: scoop out the dust, clog it with rubble or broken brick, fill it with a mortar of cement and sand. In the future, when pruning, do not leave hemp - they lead to hollows.

In April we will hasten to plant trees and shrubs until the buds have blossomed. When choosing seedlings, check the condition of the roots: they should not have thickened root cancer, and the branches should not be dry, broken.

Do not save on food space, it will be difficult to replant mature trees.

In areas with a high groundwater table, plant plants with a shallow root system: sea buckthorn, honeysuckle, and other berry bushes. For dwarf and columnar trees, you will have to add mounds.

Sprinkle berry cuttings to get new bushes. Plant blackcurrant cuttings. Try a fairly simple rooting method: stick the stalk into a raw potato and plant in the ground, leaving 2 buds on the surface.

Before the leaves begin to regrow, clear the strawberry plantation of dry leaves and other plant debris and burn them, since pathogens of gray rot accumulate in them. Correct the rows with strawberries: add earth to the bare roots, dig out the buried plants, free the hearts. In the middle of the month, you can plant new sockets in places of attacks.

Removing plant debris, cut branches, together with them, you remove the hibernating stages of many pests and pathogens.

At the very beginning of April, flower-eating weevils, feeding on swelling buds, climb into the crowns of trees. You can block their way with non-drying glue belts, put on booms, closer to the ground. You need to cut ribbons from thick paper or cling film. Fasten them tightly to the stem and grease in the middle with ALT glue.

Shields of the Californian scale insect are dark gray, rounded. There are larvae under them. On the boles and the bases of the skeletal branches under the exfoliating areas of the old bark, adults of the pear sucker overwinter. The eggs of the apple sucker, despite their small size (0.3 mm), are noticeable on the dark bark, ringlets, pods, at the base of the lateral branches.

Aphid eggs are laid on annual growths, near the buds, under the bark scales. There are many of them on the branches of currants and gooseberries. Old 5-year-old branches of black currant are most often inhabited by glasswort, currant gall midge, their ends are affected by powdery mildew. When pruning, they are removed first.

In the spring, with the resumption of active plant life, their pests are also activated. Spring development and pathogens begins. April is a very important time to protect the garden from them. The most suitable time for this is the beginning of bud break, the "green cone" stage.

Green cone.

If there are alarmingly many pests and pathogens and it is impossible to cope with them with agrotechnical methods, it will be necessary to spray trees and berry bushes with insecticides: fufanon-nova, kemifos, alatar, actellik, kimmiks, senpai. Against diseases, fungicides can be added to them: rayok, abiga-peak, hom. For stone fruits from fungal diseases effective at this time, "blue spraying" with a 3% Bordeaux mixture (300 g of copper sulfate + 400 g of lime).

In a cold, protracted spring, when the leaves begin to unfold, and the roots are not yet working (the ground has not warmed up), it is very useful to spray the trees with a solution - for 1 liter of water - 2 drops of epin-extra, 2-4 drops of zircon, 4 drops of uniflor growth and fitoverm: (4-5 drops).

During the budding period, you can add the drug Ovary or Bud to this solution (according to the instructions).

These preparations strengthen the immunity of plants to diseases, stress, accelerate the development, ripening of fruits, and improve their taste.

Lunar seed calendar for May 2018

Gardener lunar calendar was compiled in ancient times, through long-term observations of the influence of the moon on all living things, including garden plants.

First of all, different phases of the moon have a different effect on the growth and development of plants. It has long been noticed that the days of new and full moons are not suitable for planting and replanting. In the full moon, most of the juices are in the upper part of the plant, in the stem and fruits, and in the new moon, on the contrary, in its underground part - in the tubers and roots.

Seeds that fall into the ground with a waxing moon are programmed to grow more actively and develop above the ground, and those that were planted during a waning moon have the opposite tendency to develop downward underground. Therefore, plants whose fruits are above the ground, gardeners and gardeners need to sow and plant when the moon is growing. And all the roots - with the waning moon. With this in mind, the gardener's lunar calendar has been compiled, which will help you grow a wonderful harvest.

Gardener's lunar sowing calendar 2020 will allow you to always be aware of what is the phase of the moon, and what phase of the moon will be without the need for visual observation.

In addition, when working in the garden and vegetable garden, it is important to consider what sign of the zodiac the moon is in, since all signs are divided into fertile, signs of average fertility and sterile signs. Fertile zodiac signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Signs of average fertility: Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn. Barren signs of the zodiac: Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Leo, Aquarius. Observations show that the yield will be higher if, when sowing, the phase of the moon and its location in the fertile sign of the zodiac are taken into account.

We bring to your attention Lunar sowing calendar of the gardener-gardener of 2020 with the indication of the phases of the moon, the position of the moon in the signs of the zodiac, as well as with recommendations for gardeners and gardeners, which you can download and print. The gardener's lunar calendar 2020 (table) will help you take into account the phases and position of the moon in the signs of the zodiac when working in the garden and garden. Taking into account the influence of the moon on plants, you will be able to plan your agricultural work correctly.
