When to plant and transplant plants
The sowing season begins already in early May. At this time, crops are planted that can tolerate short-term frosts (carrots, onions, greens, beets, legumes). Seedlings of early ripening cabbage varieties are also picked in open ground. Cucumber seeds are sown in greenhouses.
From mid-May, potato planting begins. A picking of seedlings of cucumbers is carried out. A week after the planting of cucumbers, tomato seedlings are planted. Since mid-May, annual crops are planted that do not require cultivation through seedlings.
Until the end of May, the planting of perennial flowers is completed.
They divide and transplant flowers that begin to bloom in August. From May 20, you can begin to root grape cuttings, sprouts of fruit trees harvested from autumn 2018.
The zodiac sign of a particular period has the greatest influence on the quality of germination and adaptation of plants, then the growth or decrease phase, day of the week, is taken into account.
Important! No work on planting and cultivating the soil in the garden should be carried out on the full moon and new moon, regardless of what sign the celestial body is in. These days are barren.

- When the moon is in the sign of Leo, it is better to plant trees and shrubs. However, during this period you need to be careful in handling the inventory, because there is a very great chance of getting injured.
- Taurus is an earth sign, therefore, it contributes to the rapid germination and formation of healthy root crops, trees with a powerful root system, and shrubs.
- The most productive period is when the Moon is in the sign of Cancer. After Cancer, the most productive sign is Scorpio. Fish is in third place in productivity, but plants planted while the moon is in this position will be excessively watery and not suitable for long-term storage.
- The period of passage through Capricorn is similar to Taurus. During this period, you can do planting bulbs, root crops, trees, shrubs. Flowers planted under the auspices of Taurus and Capricorn have greater stamina and are rarely exposed to diseases and pests.
- In the Gemini period, it is better to engage in the formation and planting of climbing plants.
- Aries is an unproductive sign. During this period, it is better not to plant large plants, but to sow fast-growing crops (greens, radishes, lettuce, sorrel, spinach and the like), and pay more attention to disinfection, fertilizing, weeding, and loosening.
- When passing Libra, it is best to plant leguminous varieties of plants, cabbage and greens.
- Sagittarius and Aquarius are considered barren signs, however, on the days of their passage by the heavenly luminary, it is allowed to plant onions, peppers, radishes, potatoes.

The effect of the moon phase on planting
The effect of phases on plants:
- decrease contributes to increased vitality, adaptation, root development;
- increase contributes to growth, the accumulation of nutrients in the ground;
- new moon is a growth phase - these days, plants begin to direct forces to germinate new parts, so you should not touch them so as not to disrupt the rhythms of sap flow;
- full moon - At this point, plants accumulate the maximum amount of nutrients.
Important! In the full moon, so as not to waste time in vain, it is best to harvest the planting material for next year. In addition, you can harvest the harvest for the winter, which does not require heat treatment (for example, freeze greens and other products).
For each gardener and gardener, the main task is to obtain a qualitative result after carrying out specific manipulations on tillage, planting and transplanting plants. To optimize the work on the site and get a good return for your work, it is worth using the lunar calendar.
