Sowing calendars have been used since ancient times, because the sowing process itself is related to the phases of the moon, which is very important when planting agricultural plants.
A sowing calendar is a handy tool used to determine the most favorable days for sowing seeds and planting crops. The main idea behind having a calendar is that different phases of the moon and different positions of the planets can affect the growth and development of plants in different ways.
-
Growing month – 1-3 and 19-30 June.
-
Full Moon – June 4th.
-
Waning moon – June 5-17.
-
New moon – June 18.
The first month of summer will delight fans of vegetable gardens, because there will be 17 days favorable for work.
- Auspicious days for sowing: 1-3, 6-7, 10-11, 14-16, 19-21, 27-30 June.
- Unfavorable days for sowing: 4-5, 8-9, 17-18 June.
This is a good time to sow different types of vegetables such as tomato, Chinese cabbage, eggplant, cucumber and zucchini. You can also grow different herbs like basil, rosemary, parsley and mint.
Favorable days for planting beans, peas, soybeans and other legumes. You will also enjoy planting flowers such as roses, lilies, gladioli and asters. In addition, this is a good time to spray and protect plants from pests and diseases.
Favorable days for watering plants and fertilizing organic matter. At this time, pay attention to beets, potatoes, radishes and cabbage.
This is the perfect time to plant kale, broccoli, kohlrabi, lettuce, and other leafy greens.
The moon is in the phase of growth, therefore it is not only possible, but necessary, for seeds to grow. You can apply mineral fertilizers, water the beds and take care of cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini and squash.
This period is characterized by reduced plant activity, so it may be the best time to prepare the soil, pruning and caring for existing plants.
