Lunar calendar of gardeners and gardeners for may 2020

Experienced gardeners and gardeners closely monitor the development of horticultural crops, annually note in the diary the timing of the onset of development phases. But the timing of the onset of certain phenophases depends on the weather.

Moon phases in May 2020.

• New Moon - 06.05.
• Full Moon - 22.05.
• The waxing moon - from 7 to 21.05.2020
• The waning moon - from 1 to 5 and from 23 to 30.05.2020

What is possible on the growing moon

In accordance with the lunar phases, you can do all the sowing and planting work on the growing moon:

• all sowing, transplanting seedlings, planting in a greenhouse or open ground (except for root crops), planting fruit trees and shrubs - is done during the period from the new moon and during 1 quarter of the growing moon (11-12 days).
• In the growing moon, you can do any work related to their aboveground part, because during this period the roots are already in force and quickly restore various damage to the aboveground part, such as: cuttings, grafting, etc.
• Pruning can be done in the growing moon if you want the buds below the cut to awaken and the plant to give new shoots. But you need to do it in moderation, because there is a lot of sap flow. Pruning trees to form a crown is best done immediately after the full moon; during this period, after cutting the branches, it is more likely that fruit buds will be set than new shoots will grow.
• if you plant vegetables such as carrots or potatoes in the growing moon. That is, root vegetables, then they will have more green mass than the mass and volume in the underground part. Therefore, root crops are planted in the waning moon, immediately after the full moon.
• full moon-time for plant feeding
• three days before the full moon and within three days after the full moon is a good time for weed and pest control, for earthworks such as hilling, loosening, for collecting seeds or mowing, but it is not recommended to prune the aboveground part of plants and trees.
• on the new moon you can neither plant nor sow

Every work in the garden and vegetable garden must be considered from the point of view of the lunar calendar and wisely ... For example, many people plant potatoes as soon as birch buds bloom. In our region, this usually happens by May 9th.

This year, May 9 is the fourth day of the waxing moon (from May 7 to May 21, 2016). This year 2020 lunar potatoes need to be planted from May 1 to May 3 or May 24-26, 29-31, on the waning moon (see below for the lunar calendar for May 2020). So we will choose the time of planting potatoes, depending on the weather conditions. But in case you have to plant on May 3, you need to start preparing all the potato planting material a little earlier. Or ... to plant in 2 terms.

What to plant in May for seedlings and in open ground?

With the onset of warm and dry weather, summer residents prepare seedlings for planting in open ground. In addition, the following works are carried out at the end of spring:

• at the beginning of the month, onions are sown in open ground. So that the plant does not suffer from possible frosts, after planting, the holes are covered with sawdust;
• closer to the middle of the month, legumes, peas, beans, beets are sown. As for legumes, it is better to sow them in small batches at intervals of 7-10 days;

What is the lunar calendar and how to use it

Although the whole world has long lived according to the solar calendar, the lunar one does not lose its relevance.

The lunar calendar appeared in 2000 BC. e., therefore, it is considered the most ancient calendar in the world. It is based on the change in the phases of the night luminary, and also takes into account the zodiac sign in which the moon is located.

For a month, the Earth's satellite goes through the following phases:

• new moon;
• height;
• full moon;
• decrease.

The moon affects all spheres of human life: it slightly changes the magnetic field of the earth, the ebb and flow of the world's oceans depend on it. Therefore, plants are also susceptible to its action.

The complete cycle of the moon is only 29.5 days, that is, slightly less than a calendar month, and one lunar day lasts 24 hours and 50 minutes. In a month, the Moon passes through 12 zodiacal constellations.

How to identify a growing moon

Since, comparing lunar calendars from different sources, sometimes you are completely confused by their contradictory information, it is best to focus on your own observations of the moon.

If you are not a fanatic and do not strongly adhere to the lunar calendar, but are guided only by the basic lunar rhythms, then you just need to figure out how to determine the growing moon purely visually:

• if you can put a couple on the left to the moon in the sky to get the letter "P", then the moon is growing.
• if the moon is in the form of the letter "C", then it is aging, has begun to decrease.

Trust yourself, your intuition and your professional gardening skills, and then everything in your garden will grow and smell sweet.

Gardening and horticultural work in May

Find out what awaits you today - Horoscope for today for all signs of the zodiac

May is a very busy month for preparatory and planting work. Before you can start planting and sowing, it is imperative to prepare the soil after winter. For this, organic or mineral fertilizers are introduced into the soil. It is important not to forget that the soil in the garden is no less important to fertilize than the soil in vegetable beds. In addition, there are several urgent matters that must be done in May, and in the very first days.

Loosening and fertilizing the soil

In the spring, it is very important, because after winter it is heavy and very dense. If plants are planted in such soil, they will be sorely lacking oxygen. After thoroughly loosening the beds and near-stem circles, urea is introduced there, because nitrogen is very important to plants during the growth period.

Planting greenery and frost-resistant crops

The earth is still quite cold, especially in early May. But the seeds of dill, carrots, parsnips, turnips and celery are not afraid of cold weather, even light frost. You can plant legumes as well. If the soil has warmed up to at least +5 degrees, then white cabbage, broccoli and kohlrabi can be planted in it.

Pruning trees

During this period, living branches are very easy to distinguish from old and shriveled ones, so pruning must be carried out immediately. If you delay with this matter, it will be too late - the leaves will bloom on the trees and flowering will begin. It is especially important to remove all dead wood from cherries - due to the abundance of old branches, the tree will hurt. Therefore, it is necessary to remove literally every single one of the old lifeless branches.

Greenhouse preparation

This is done so that the soil quickly warms up to + 10-13 degrees. Then it will be possible to plant what is planned there. In a well-heated greenhouse, seedlings will appear in a very short time. If the greenhouse is intended for tomatoes, then humus (1 bucket) and mineral fertilizers (150 g) in the complex are introduced into the soil - this amount is taken per 1 sq. M.

Strawberry processing

It is imperative to remove all dry leaves. If the strawberry bushes are too high above the ground, then they need to deepen a little.

Pest control and disease control

Such a period is favorable for this work as well. After all, a little more time will pass and flowering will begin, then it will be impossible to poison the insects. Biological products, for example, lepidocide, have proven themselves especially well. It is effective against almost 100 types of harmful insects and at the same time, bees and beneficial insects are almost not afraid of it.

Weed control

If, during this period, a deep digging of the soil is carried out with a turnover of the seam, then the number of weeds will decrease many times. In addition, the soil will be enriched with oxygen to a sufficient depth, moisture will be better preserved in it and some of the pests that have overwintered in the soil will die.

Gardener lunar calendar for may 2016

Favorable days for sowing and planting vegetables (excluding empty days according to the signs of the zodiac)
The gardener's lunar calendar for May 2020 shows the new moon on May 6, hence all the dates for sowing and planting vegetables. As always, all the main sowing and planting of vershoks are done on the growing moon in the first half of May until May 21 inclusive and from May 24 to May 31 inclusive roots (root crops).

But for more accurate terms, it is necessary to take into account the signs of the zodiac:

• root crops need to be sown from May 1 to May 3 - the waning moon in Pisces, we plant potatoes
• May 4.5 - it is not recommended to sow anything because of the waning moon in Aries - an unfavorable zodiac for planting
• from May 7, you can sow and plant all tops on the growing moon within 12 days, but since May 7.8 is the growing moon in Gemini (the harvest is minimal), it is worth starting to plant only from May 9 to 11.
• May 12-14 - Waxing moon in Leo, which is considered a dry and barren sign.
• May 14-16 - the growing moon in Virgo - reserved exclusively for flowers, summer trees and berry bushes
• 16-19-growing moon in Libra
• 19-20-growing moon in Scorpio
• May 21-23 - 1 day before full moon and 1 day after full moon - moon in Sagittarius. Nothing can be done.
• May 24-26 - the waning moon in Capricorn: we intensively sow and plant root crops
• May 27-28 - the waning moon in Aquarius is a barren and dry sign for sowing, planting, you can only deal with earth, feeding.
• May 29-31 - the waning moon in Pisces - we intensively sow and plant all the remaining root crops

The growth of plants and their productivity is influenced not only by the phases of the moon. When the Moon passes from one zodiac sign to another, the influence of the Moon on life processes changes. Therefore, gardeners and gardeners are often surprised that plants planted for two days under the same conditions are very different in their development.

The lunar calendar for May 2020 will help in advance, already in March, to plan sowing and growing seedlings by the appointed date.

Best days to plant indoor plants and flowers

For planting and transplanting indoor plants, the lunar calendar also gives its recommendations. In May 2020, the following information will be useful to flower growers.

Waning moon

Capricorn May 4-6. They begin to plant bulbous flowers - lily of the valley, chionodoxia, spring flower, galtonia, saffron and others.

Pisces May 9-11. You can do planting and transplanting flowers. But it is better to pay more attention to caring for indoor plants: pruning and shaping at their crown, feeding and watering, wet cleaning.

Taurus May 14. A good time for planting annual and perennial flowers, as well as for planting and transplanting any indoor plants.

Scorpio May 27-28. Ideal days for replanting indoor plants, especially for leafy species. A good time to take care of flowers, watering and fertilizing.

Calculation of favorable and unfavorable days

The lunar calendar defines favorable planting days for May 2020 for garden, vegetable garden crops and flowers. Thanks to this, you can accurately determine the dates on which you can plant and process plants, as well as the prohibited days for this.

Working in the vegetable garden

The gardener's sowing calendar for the last spring month determines the dates on which you can plant and transplant vegetable seedlings into the greenhouse and open ground. If you adhere to the developed recommendations of experts, then the "moving" seedlings will tolerate well and quickly adapt to a new place.

Attention! The forbidden days are common for the garden, vegetable garden and flower garden.

You can also do garden work on neutral days, which are not in the table. The main thing is to avoid dates that are defined as prohibited. If the plants do not die, then the harvest will be poor or will often hurt.

Sowing seeds

Often, the owners of garden plots are convinced that it is already useless to plant vegetables in May. But this is not the case. You can sow seeds directly into the ground, but there is one condition: it must be prepared and warmed up - at least 10 ℃. Crops that were planted in the last month of spring are doing well and may even overtake other plants grown through seedlings.

In addition, in May there is the last opportunity to grow healthy vegetables and get a rich harvest, if for some reason early planting did not bring the expected result. To do this, you can use the recommendation of the Lunar calendar, which indicates the planting of plants by day, or take into account the peculiarities of the climate in a particular region.

As for the crops that can be sown during this period, the list is long. For example:

• radish;
• onions - this approach will allow you to pluck green feathers until July;
• carrots - so the crop will not deteriorate until late autumn;
• beets - it is better to deal with this root crop at the beginning of the month in order to harvest in the summer;
• peas;
• corn;
• cabbage - the main thing is to choose a vegetable variety;
• greens - we are talking about sorrel, parsley and salad
• cucumbers - when sown in May, the seedlings will hatch in about 10 days. For a rich harvest, it is required to provide the culture with comfortable conditions;
• zucchini.

Attention! If the temperature regime has not yet been established in the region, then it is necessary to additionally use a covering material.

At the end of May, the weather is already finally set, so the film and other shelter can be removed.

Transplanting

Every year, at the beginning of the last spring month, gardeners begin to plant seedlings in open ground. However, the timing may not be accurate, as in some regions spring may be late. So, if the weather is already warm, then on the May holidays you can already start the procedure. But at the same time, the seedlings must be hardened.

Before planting the seedlings, it is necessary to immerse them in a solution of phytosporin-M for several hours or, 3 days after the procedure, water the plants with them at the root.In the warm earth, bacteria of the substance begin to activate and prevent fungal and bacterial diseases. In addition, phytosporin boosts the immune system of plants and promotes plant growth. For prophylaxis, spraying with the drug should be carried out every 1.5-2 weeks. If such processing is carried out, then there will be no need to use fungicides.

Recently, even in May, there may be frosts, so the covering material must be kept ready. But if unforeseen situations do not arise, then the plants will take root and give a good harvest.

In the third decade of May, you can plant seedlings of late varieties of cabbage and onions on turnips. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and eggplants should be moved to greenhouses. It is important to cover the greenhouse in advance. This approach will allow the soil to warm up well, so that the “moving” of crops would be stress-free. In extreme heat conditions, watering should be done every 3-4 days.

Garden work

On the garden plot, trees begin to bloom in May, which is the key to a rich harvest. But if at this time frosts begin and or there is bad weather, the buds and ovaries will freeze, and therefore, you should not expect a large amount of fruit. In the last spring month, you can plant crops in the garden, fight parasites and fertilize the soil.

Planting trees and pest control

In the second decade of May, the weather has already stabilized, so you can plant grapes. You can start the procedure if the soil has warmed up to 15 ℃. Favorable days for planting trees are 2, 13-15, 17-20, 30-31 of the last month of spring.

When it comes to dealing with parasites, you need to be careful. For example, insecticides should not be used during flowering.

Attention! In order not to harm beneficial insects, you will need to spray the culture with biological products.

It is better to carry out the procedure in the evening. At the same time, favorable dates in May for this are 1-3, 11-13, 16-17, 20-21, 26-28. But if the garden is small and you are often in it, then it is better to spread the film under the tree and shake off the parasites on it. This should be done twice a day at a temperature of 8-10 ℃ heat. During this period, the pests do not fly away, because they are a little "inhibited". As a result, it is easy to collect and destroy.

It is important to prepare for flowering and strawberries growing in the garden. To do this, it must be weeded and loosened a second time. During the growing season, strawberries must be protected from parasites, in particular from weevils.

The smell of garlic will help get rid of it. Therefore, experienced gardeners are advised to plant this vegetable between the rows. But there is also an alternative way - garlic infusion. To do this, pass the product through a meat grinder, dilute with water in a 1: 1 ratio and remove for 7 days in a warm place. Then dilute 50 ml of the resulting mixture in a bucket of water and spray the culture.

Fertilization

Fertilize raspberries in the garden in May. Organic fertilizers are suitable for this. You can use mullein or bird droppings at the rate of 500 ml of substance per 10 liters of liquid, goat or rabbit droppings (1 liter per bucket of water). To calculate the required dose for your site, you must take into account that about 5 liters of fertilizing in liquid form will take per 1 m2.

Attention! You can feed the crops growing in the garden on May 3, 15 and 19. And apply dry fertilizer - on the 4th and 19th.

Before the flowering period, fruit trees and shrubs must be fertilized with liquid organic or complex mineral components. To make them correctly, you need to dig out circular grooves, the depth of which is 10-15 cm. When the plants have faded, they should be watered. This procedure can be combined with another feeding from the infusion of mullein or bird droppings in a ratio of 1:15 and 1 tbsp. urea.

Home flower care days

May is a crucial month for a florist. During this period, it is necessary to plant greenery on the balcony, loggias.You can do houseplants or while you start growing greens in pots: parsley, dill, basil.

If, nevertheless, it is decided not to deviate from the flowers, then they need to be taken out to the balcony, loggia or to the garden plot right in the container. But this rule does not apply to all cultures: balsams, ferns, asparagus, fuchsias, eucharises can only be taken out on a glazed balcony, since their leaves can be damaged by sunlight and wind.

In addition, even cacti, aloe and Kalanchoe, which, it would seem, are not afraid of anything, cannot be immediately exposed to the sun. And diffused lighting will only be beneficial.

To properly manipulate indoor plants, you need to know when and what you can do.

By adhering to these rules, you can get flowers in pots that will delight you with health and lush flowering.

Influence of the signs of the zodiac

Moon signs for landing also have a meaning, sometimes more than the phase of the satellite. Each of the zodiac signs is divided into fertile and infertile. Considering these aspects, the benefits of gardening work will be noticeable to the naked eye.

If you follow these recommendations of astrologers, then the health of crops and a good harvest are guaranteed.

Features of the position of the moon

The full moon lasts approximately 3 days and this period is characterized by the fact that the strength of the plants resides in the terrestrial part. At the same time, the roots have a low viability and survival rate. Planting and transplanting are not carried out, as are vaccinations, pinching, pinching and pruning.

It is best to weed weeds, thin out thickened seedlings, mulch the soil, fight pests and collect seeds. It is especially beneficial to work with the soil.
