All about the lawn

Many amateur gardeners will use the lunar calendar for sowing seeds for 2017, as about the great influence of the Moon on planted flowers, fruits, vegetables, shrubs, trees and other plants.

Our sowing calendar has been designed in such a way that it will be easy and simple to use. Now there is no need for constant observation of the moon in order to determine the lunar phase. You may be about to plant potatoes, but how to know if this is the right day is unknown.

For this, the Lunar boarding calendar to help all gardeners get a good harvest.

Lunar rhythms

Using the Moon in horticulture and gardening, the already known patterns of its position in the sky and its influence are taken into account. Lunar days, the descending and ascending moon and its position in any signs of the zodiac, the phases of the moon, the waning moon, the full moon, the waxing moon, the new moon - each of these concepts indicates a rhythm that occurs in nature, the cause of which is the moon.

In ancient times, knowledge about the influence of lunar rhythms is used in gardening. If you strive to be successful in gardening work, seek help from the Moon.

Gardener's calendar 2017 important points

The change in the phases of the moon not only affects the actions, behavior and well-being of a person, but also provokes the growth of plants. Knowledge gradually accumulated and now we have a lunar sowing calendar, the table of which is shown below, allows every gardener-gardener to get a good harvest.

We have all heard such a concept as a good or bad day for landing. However, few people know that good days for landing directly depend on the natural satellite of the Earth.

Under the influence of the moon, the ebb and flow of the world's oceans and even life cycles of all living things are tuned to the activity of the moon. Plants were no exception.

For correct use the lunar planting calendar, you should learn about the basic laws of the interaction of plants and the cycles of the moon. For example, a snow-white disc has practically no effect on perennial shrubs and trees, but vegetables, bobbled, as well as cereals very strongly associated with the lunar phases.

The lunar sowing calendar has one very important rule landing - the rule of a young and waning moon. In the young moon phase, you need to plant plants that grow upward, and in the waning phase, root crops growing downward.

This is all very simply explained - experts believe that the falling moon helps to strengthen the root system, while the leaves and stems develop slowly, otherwise the situation is with the growing moon - there is an active growth of stems, leaves and branches.

Is it wise to use a lunar planting calendar?
You probably already had a question: do you really need to take into account all these nuances, just to grow crops for your pleasure? Of course, it is not at all necessary for an ordinary gardener or gardener to know the lunar schedule.

You can plant plants at your discretion and climatic conditions. The seeds will sprout by themselves, and the seedlings will develop and bear fruit. You can generally throw seeds into the ground as soon as the snow melts, or you can plant potatoes in only thawed soil. There is only one nuance - they will "sit" in the ground for a very, very long time.

If you coordinate your actions with the 2017 calendar, the benefits will be visible soon enough. The growth stages will take place harmoniously and confidently, and the harvest will certainly delight you with its quantity and size. Simply put, the lunar calendar will save you time, nerves and energy, and not hope for a miracle, languishing in anticipation.

Nobody forces you to follow the readings of the calendar with fantastic accuracy. It is enough just to approximately adhere to the schedule, taking into account the favorable and negative moments for landing. If you miss a day or two, it's okay - there are many nuances in nature, be it pouring rain, sudden heat, or a brief cold snap. Each month there are several favorable periods for specific plants. Here you can download the lunar sowing calendar, because it can be useful to you even in winter - suddenly you decide to start growing crops on your windowsill or in a properly equipped greenhouse.

Days of Leaf, Root, Fruit, Flower

When the moon passes through the zodiac signs Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer - this time is called the “days of the Leaf”, since the rhythms of the Moon have the greatest influence on the foliage. How will this help you in practice? If you loosen the soil in the lettuce beds these days, it will grow very lush and more productive.

When the Moon passes the zodiac signs Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus - this time was called the "days of the Root" since the rhythms of the Moon have a great influence on root system plants. Radishes, beets, carrots and all other root vegetables are also recommended to be weeded on Root days.

When the moon passed the signs of the zodiac Sagittarius, Aries, Leo - this time was called the "days of the Fruits". Beans, cucumbers and tomatoes will reward you with spectacular fruits if you dive, weed and loosen the soil in the days of the Fruit.

When the moon passes the signs of the zodiac Aquarius, Libra, Gemini - this time is called "the days of the Flower." They are recommended for planting and caring for flowers. If possible, cut flowers for bouquets on Flower days, so that they will stay in the vase much longer.

- In solar and lunar eclipses, any work in the garden or vegetable garden is undesirable.
- It is strongly not recommended to work in a vegetable garden or garden on the days of New Moons or Full Moons.
- You should not sow seeds or plant seedlings when the Moon is located in the signs of Aquarius and Leo.
- Plants will not develop fully if you plant them during the transition of a companion from one of the zodiac signs to another.

The lunar calendar for sowing seeds for seedlings in 2017 is more advisory than mandatory. If from the day indicated in the calendar the weather does not allow working in the vegetable garden or garden (frosts are expected or it is raining), then the procedure for ennobling the site must be postponed.

Twins - plant nothing

Cancer - picking seedlings. One of the best plant signs requiring moisture (cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, Bell pepper, asparagus, cauliflower, white and red cabbage) and leafy crops (lettuce, basil, tarragon, etc.), especially with the growing moon. Planting currants, raspberries and gooseberries. Grafting and formative pruning fruit trees and shrubs. With the waning moon - planting potatoes, beets, carrots. The harvest is plentiful, but poorly stored. Do not use for seed purposes.

A lion - plant nothing.

Virgo - garden crops it is better not to plant, as the harvest will be small. A suitable period for cultivating the land, weeding, hilling, loosening, spraying against diseases and pests, forming pruning of trees and shrubs. When the moon is growing, it is suitable for landing berry bushes, strawberries, perennial flowers and medicinal plants... Plants planted at this time will hurt less.

Scales - plant nothing... Weeding, spraying against diseases and pests is recommended.

Scorpio - picking seedlings. With the growing moon, it is suitable for planting tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkin, cabbage and other moisture-loving plants, as well as peppers, eggplants, greens, grafting fruit trees and shrubs. With the waning moon - planting garlic, radish, radish, onion sets, potatoes, bulbous flowers, rejuvenating pruning of old trees. The harvest is good. Stored for a long time. High quality seeds.

Sagittarius - plant nothing. Weeding, spraying against diseases and pests is recommended.

Capricorn - picking seedlings. A good sign for planting before winter, as well as for planting perennial plants, trees, shrubs. With the waning moon, it is recommended to plant root crops, onions on turnips, radishes, parsley, celery (root), bulbous flowers. With the growing moon - greens, cabbage, legumes. Suitable for grafting fruit trees, pruning branches. The harvest is good, it is well kept. The seeds are of high quality.

Aquarius - plant nothing. Weeding, spraying against diseases and pests is recommended.

With the waning moon, it is good to plant onions on turnips, radishes, carrots, bulbous flowers. The harvest is plentiful, poorly stored. Do not use for seed purposes.

Depending on the sign of the moon when sowing, plants are endowed with certain qualities. May be yielding with low quality seeds or low yielding high quality seeds, high or low, brittle or strong. Therefore, sowing, planting and transplanting plants should be carried out when the moon is in favorable signs for cultivating the land and watering. When the Moon is in the water signs of Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio, water is used more economically for irrigation, i.e. better absorbed by plants. In other signs, plants consume more water. The introduction of organic fertilizers, including top dressing, is carried out on the waning moon in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. The introduction of mineral fertilizers, on the contrary, is best done in the same signs with the growing moon.
Have a nice harvest in the coming year!

Sowing seeds

The period of time during which the Moon makes a complete revolution around the Earth is called the sidereal month of the Moon. During this time, the Moon passes through all 12 signs of the Zodiac.

Each of the signs of the zodiac belongs to a certain element, which have their own, quite specific qualities.

The signs of Fire belong to the signs Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

To the element Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

To the elements of the Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

To the element Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Days of Air and Light - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

Days of Heat - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Days of Cold - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Fruit Days - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Root Days - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn (fertilize these days).

Days of Flowers - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius (fertilize these days - we will get a lot of flowers).

The position of the Moon in the signs of the Zodiac is the external influence of certain types of energies that affect not only the growth and productivity of plants (the greatest fluctuations in productivity depending on planting in a particular sign of the Zodiac are seen in potatoes, radishes and legumes), but most importantly - on the condition of the soil ...

Depending on the sign in which the Moon was at the time of sowing, plants are endowed with certain qualities. May be yielding with low quality seeds or low yielding high quality seeds, high or low, brittle or strong. Therefore, sowing, planting and transplanting plants should be carried out when the Moon is in favorable signs for cultivating the land and watering: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces, taking into account the phase of the Moon for different plants... At the same time, grafting, grafting, rooting of the mustache are carried out.

The day of sowing the seed is considered the time when it touched the ground, or the time when we dipped it into the water for soaking. That is, as soon as moisture began to flow through the seed shell to the embryo, we can talk about the beginning of awakening. On this day, the program of the plant for the harvest is laid, which cannot be changed during transplantation. By transplanting, you can only correct the condition of the plant. So, for example, if you sowed in Cancer, then by diving in Virgo or Capricorn you can make the root system and the stem of plants less fragile.

There is one very important rule in agroastrology: if the zodiac sign is suitable for sowing, but the phase of the moon is not suitable, then you need to focus on the sign, and carry out the work on the last day of the moon's stay in this auspicious sign. For example, good sign for sowing carrots Taurus, and the phase of the moon is growing, we are not satisfied. Then we sow in Taurus, but on the last day of the Moon's presence in this sign. The moon phase on this day will hardly affect the future growth and harvest of carrots.

Watering plants

Water is consumed more economically for irrigation, i.e. it is better absorbed by plants when the Moon is in the water signs of Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio. The phase of the moon does not matter for watering. In other signs, plants consume more water.

In the North and Northwest regions, we mainly water indoor plants and open ground ridges while the plants are still small. If the leaf apparatus has grown, it collects night moisture well and watering is not necessary. After rain, the soil on the ridges must be loosened, preventing moisture from evaporating. But if the leaves of neighboring plants have closed, then loosening can be omitted. In swampy areas, with constant watering, all the humus that we ourselves create is washed out, and only dust remains.

For example, they planted tomatoes in open ground, filled the holes with organic matter and mineral fertilizers. When planting, we water the seedlings abundantly, so that the water barely leaves. Then we sprinkle the surface around the plant with dry earth so that the moisture does not evaporate, and that's it. Over the summer, we never water, we do not feed, we only loosen after the rain and form. Such tomatoes have time to turn red by mid-August.

Top dressing

The introduction of organic fertilizers, including top dressing, is carried out on the waning moon in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. The introduction of mineral fertilizers, on the contrary, is best done in the same signs with the growing moon.

For example, you need to feed with slurry or infusion of weeds. We make an infusion on the waning moon after the Full Moon in a plastic barrel (you can put it in a greenhouse). After 3-5 days, the infusion will ferment - it's time to feed. During the season, we feed this infusion twice, rarely - three. V open ground- only leeks.

Simple rules for the gardener:

Mineral dressing can be carried out with the growing moon.

Organic fertilizing is best done during the waning moon.

Hay making

To facilitate drying, mowing of herbs is recommended to be carried out under the Moon in a dry sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius). Hay can rot from mowing in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Grass cut near New Moon dries faster, but the hay will be depleted in nutrients. This hay is good for use as biofuel or for bedding livestock.

But in a rainy summer, there is no time for biodynamics, here any sunny day is used for mowing.

The lunar calendar shows Moscow time


The arrival of spring among gardeners is a period of preparation for spring work in orchards and berry fields. In mid-March, the snow begins to melt. The main task at this time is the retention of melt water at the sites. To this end, scatter snow under the crowns of trees and shrubs, on ridges with strawberries and raspberries, freeing the aisles or separate areas from it (for sowing early vegetables) so that the soil here thaws out earlier and can absorb melt water, which, as a rule, quickly drains away on the frozen ground.


In the first month of spring, gardeners have more and more trouble getting ready for the new season. The most important thing is that the sowing work begins. Let it be on the windowsill, but you need to take them seriously, because the size and quality of the future harvest will largely depend on the quality of the grown seedlings.


Although in March the weather is unstable and changeable - "today there are drops, tomorrow a blizzard and snow in the evening", the people in Russia loved this month. After all, the fierce January and February frosts are already behind, that's why they called March affectionately: "sunflower" (the sun is hot), "protalnik" (the snow is melting), "drip" ("March is strong with drops").

The first spring month has come, which we all have been looking forward to. His Latin name came from Byzantium, where it was named after the god of war Mars. Its Slavic names (dry land, sokovik, birch) reflect the low amount of precipitation, the beginning of sap flow in trees and the swelling of birch buds.


Introducing 2019 for every day. Daily lunar calendar for gardeners, florists and gardeners. The lunar calendar for sowing and planting contains detailed description gardening work for every day.

A few words about the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day of the year.

About the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day of the year

The daily lunar calendar of sowing and planting contains a list of work for each day in the garden, flower garden and vegetable garden. The lunar calendar has been compiled for those who are keen on gardening, floriculture, horticulture. In the calendar, the days of sowing and planting of various crops are recommended, based on the lunar phases and the passage by the Moon of the zodiacal constellation, as well as agrarian terms.

The lunar calendar gives recommendations on which seeds to sow favorably, which plants to plant, how best to care for plants under the influence of the Moon. Fertile signs of the zodiac Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio are favorable for sowing, planting, and a bountiful harvest. In the days of infertile signs, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius can be sown and planted certain types plants, mostly decorative. Under the auspicious sign of the zodiac, root crops are planted and sown on the waning moon, and other vegetables, berry and fruit, ornamental plants are planted and sown on the growing moon. On the full moon and new moon, sowing and planting the lunar calendar does not recommend, these days they are fighting against diseases and plant pests.

Also, in the lunar calendar for each day, the necessary daily work in the garden and vegetable garden is listed, the result of which is not influenced by the Moon, these works are determined by the agrarian terms of the area and the weather. In the lunar sowing calendar for these works, we recommend days free from sowing and planting work.

The lunar calendar shows the sowing and planting dates of many plants. It is fruit and decorative trees, berry and ornamental shrubs, annual and perennial flower and berry crops. Our lunar calendar tells about favorable sowing and planting dates for almost everyone vegetable crops bred in Middle lane, with in different ways cultivation: planting, forcing, sowing, through seedlings, including in a greenhouse, on a windowsill and in the open field.

The lunar calendar for sowing and landing for each day contains astronomical information indicating the exact time of the moon's entry into each sign of the zodiac, the hours of the full moon and new moon are indicated, the time of rising and setting of the moon, the time of rising and setting of the sun and the length of daylight hours are given. If the Moon is included in some zodiac sign during the day, then in the lunar calendar in the column of recommendations for sowing and planting, a note is given before the indicated hour of sowing, planting and caring for plants according to the recommendations of the previous day of the lunar calendar.

In addition, in the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day are given folk signs on the moon and signs for the harvest from the national agricultural calendar.

Astronomical information about the Sun in our calendar

If you observe the position of the Sun for a long enough time, for example, during a year, you will notice that its height above the horizon on different days will be unequal - the highest on June 21-22, and the lowest on December 21-22. Over the years, these events fall on different days... These days are called the days of the summer and winter solstices. Twice a year, March 20-21 and September 22-23, the Sun rises exactly at the point in the east and sets exactly at the point in the west. On these days, it is under and above the horizon at the same time (that is, day is equal to night), and therefore they are called the days of the spring and autumn equinox. Between March 21 and September 22, the Sun rises north of the east point and, conversely, between September 23 and March 21 south of it.

Traditionally, March 21, June 22, September 23 and December 22 are considered the beginning of the seasons in the northern hemisphere of the Earth: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

How to grow plants to the rhythm of the moon phases

The topic itself is interesting about the influence on the growth and development of plants of the position of the planets in the zodiacal circle, in particular the closest companion of our planet - the Moon, on the interaction of the phases of the Moon and growth, development of plants, the activity of microbiological processes in the soil.

The influence of the moon on earthly affairs has been known since ancient times. It is with this planet that the ebb and flow of oceanic and sea ​​waters, as well as fluctuations in electromagnetic fields that affect the weather. It is believed that on a full moon, the aboveground parts of plants are mostly filled with sap, and on a new moon, it seeks to flow back to the roots. In the first case, there is a stronger moisture content in the tissues, in the second - some dryness. From here, studies of the influence of the moon on plants take place, and on the basis of the knowledge gained, a lunar calendar is compiled for each day of the current year.

Plants are influenced not only by the phases of the moon, but also by its position in the signs of the zodiac. It is better to plant when our companion is in the constellations of Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. Fight weeds when she is in the signs of Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius. Finding the Moon in the constellation Aries is conducive to collecting fruits - they are better stored. Moving to the constellation Libra is favorable for watering and grafting, to the constellation Leo - for mowing and weeding, Sagittarius - for digging up roots, Aquarius - for destroying pests.

If you believe the experience of astrological observations, then the signs of the zodiac are divided into productive (fertile): Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, and unproductive (infertile): Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius. Planting and sowing fruit and ornamental plants according to the lunar calendar is best done when the moon is in a productive zodiac sign.

How is the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day compiled

From the point of view of practical consideration, the recommendations of the lunar calendar will be consistent if they correspond to the local calendar dates for sowing and planting crops. Due to the dissimilarity climatic conditions, landscape, soil in different areas, it is impossible to work out a single lunar calendar. If you calculate the timing of sowing crops in another specific area, you will get significant differences. In one case, these will be late dates, in the other - too early (compare the south of Russia and the Urals). Agricultural work, as well as care and cleaning work, are also associated with the length of daylight hours.

Local folk calendar, traditional experience, accumulated knowledge - the main support in the practical activities of a gardener, florist and gardener. For neighboring regions, any lunar calendar needs amendments regarding the deadlines for sowing and planting, taking into account the conditions of a particular area. Data on the exact time of the entry of the Moon into the zodiacal constellation can be obtained from the date (tear-off calendar) for gardeners and gardeners or the astrological calendar.

The weather, too, does not happen year by year - there are early and late springs, which is also taken into account when compiling the lunar calendar.

The timing of the passage of the phases of the moon over the years does not coincide. In almost a month, the moon passes through 12 constellations, called the signs of the zodiac. On next year the lunar calendar is shifted by 10 days. The timing of the passage of the phases of the moon is repeated after 19 years. Each year, the daily planting and planting calendar is adjusted for the specific shape of the season and for the lunar phase.
