The new planting season requires pre-planned preparation, because each vegetable crop, or likes a certain soil temperature, proper watering, pruning, picking and fertilizing. Only in this case can a gardener and gardener count on a good harvest in the new agricultural year. Every experienced owner of a personal plot knows that the main assistant in planning earthworks is the crop plan compiled by specialists at the base astronomical observations and mathematical calculations. Let's figure out what this sowing calendar is, and also find out what recommendations it gives for 2017.
What is the gardener's calendar for 2017?
The sowing calendar is a certain body of knowledge and observations about the position of the Moon and the daily movement of our satellite. These factors have a noticeable positive or negative influence for all earthly processes, including planting plants in the ground, sowing seeds, pruning and fertilizing trees or planting flowers. This serious impact of the Moon is explained simply - it is the closest celestial body to the Earth.
Each approach of the Moon or its distance from our planet is accompanied by ebbs and flows, as well as an increase or decrease in groundwater levels. Plants, like many other living organisms, consist primarily of water, and their vital juices react acutely to change lunar phases, so that in certain periods our satellite can actively stimulate the growth of crops, influence the intensity of the formation of their above-ground or underground parts, and in others - awaken diseases or weaken plants.
The value of the sowing calendar is that it clarifies the impact of each phase of the moon on the growth, health and formation of plants, the condition of the soil and environment. In addition, the calendar indicates the influence of each of the signs on gardening work zodiac circle, which can stimulate or inhibit crop growth and fruit formation, so by carrying out the work taking into account the recommendations presented below, you can easily get a good harvest, saving time and resources.
What does the 2017 sowing calendar take into account?
The lunar calendar contains information:
- about the lunar phases of each month of the year, affecting earthly processes - from the growth and formation of plants to the operation of mechanisms. Such knowledge helps gardeners wisely choose days suitable for planting certain plants, sowing seeds, watering, fertilizing or harvesting;
- about the days of the lunar calendar, which differs from the solar rhythm we are accustomed to - the periodicity of the satellite’s revolution differs from the speed of rotation of the Earth, which leads to a certain effect of the Moon on all living things;
- about the days of the week, which may also promote or discourage planting, watering, feeding, pruning or harvesting;
- about the signs of the zodiac circle that can have a beneficial or detrimental effect on plant life.
Let's talk about these points in more detail.
The influence of the waxing and waning moon
It has long been known that during periods it is necessary to abandon any planting work. On the day when our satellite is “born” in once again, it draws upon itself the energy and vital reserves of living organisms, so that the plantings turn out to be weak and unviable. It must also be remembered that during periods new moon plants are inhibited in growth and development, concentrating all the forces released to them on the formation of roots.
The waxing moon will have a beneficial effect on the growth and development of plants As the moon grows, plant juices begin to rush upward - from the root system to the leaves, fruits and crown. Development and growth become active, so for above-ground plants that by nature are drawn to the sun (cereals, flowers, cucumbers, tomatoes, dill, various trees), you need to choose just such a day. As we get closer full moon stem growth becomes less active, but if you slightly damaged the root of the plant while weeding the plantings, this will not cause much harm.
For planting and cultivating crops that form fruits underground (for example, for root parsley, potatoes, beets, carrots, Jerusalem artichoke), the period when the satellite is declining is suitable. On such days, it helps to form root crops. At the same time, the most favorable period for pruning trees and shrubs begins.
On days when the moon is absent from the sky or shines in full force, it is better not to carry out active work on weeding, loosening and pruning, since all living things become especially vulnerable when damaged.
Influence of zodiac constellations
Even the ancient Greeks knew that constellations have different influence on the processes of vital activity and rooting of plants, therefore they were classified into those that provide fertility, and those that are sterile or signs of average fertility.
- Planting or replanting plants at a time when the constellations, or, rule in the sky, is favorable. At this time it's time beneficial influence will provide watering of the beds and fertilizing. The only exception for watering is the sign of Pisces - too much watering can lead to the roots starting to rot. Do not carry out picking or pruning work in this sign, so as not to slow down the formation of trunks, shoots and branches. However, pumpkin, eggplant, horseradish, tomatoes and cucumbers planted during the waxing moon will bring a more than enviable harvest. The influence of Cancer is especially pronounced on the waxing moon - such days are excellent for planting plants that love moisture - cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, bell and hot peppers, kohlrabi, broccoli, cauliflower and white cabbage will thank you. Cancer also promotes the planting of gooseberries, black and red currants, yoshta and raspberries. When Cancer is accompanied by a waning moon, you can safely sow carrots, beets or plant potato tubers, but remember that the harvest will be plentiful, but not suitable for long-term storage, so it will not be used for seeds. Scorpio favors planting garlic, bulbous flowers and onions, especially during periods when the moon is waning. By the way, this will provide you with not just higher yields, but also excellent safety of the seed material;
- You can plant at a time when our satellite occupies a position in, or, but these are signs of average fertility - they will not provide you with an outstanding harvest. The exception is Libra, which provides excellent growth and rooting of peas, beans, pumpkins, asparagus, as well as ornamental ivy and other climbing plants. This sign also promotes moderate watering or fertilization. The sign of Taurus also stands apart, on the days of its dominance, during the waning moon, it is recommended to plant root crops, and on the days of the waxing moon, sow parsley, dill, arugula, cabbage, or plant beans and peas. In the days of Capricorn, you can pick up seedlings and plant perennial plants, trees and bushes for the winter;
- You should not plant crops when the signs or are dominant - they were classified by the Greeks as sterile. However, during the period of the influence of Leo and Aquarius, work should be done to weed and destroy harmful insects, and during the days of the influence of Virgo, care should be taken - weeding, hilling, loosening or spraying the plants. On the moon growing in Virgo, you can plant strawberry or strawberry bushes and perennial plants.

Astrologers claim that the energy of etheric bodies controls the life potential, the ability to develop and grow all life on Earth.
During the New Moon, plant growth energy is concentrated in the root system and in the lower part of the trunks, and sap flow slows down. At this time, sowing and replanting plants is unfavorable.
After all this calendar compiled for both window sills and greenhouses, where seasons have secondary importance, and also for southern regions and the CIS countries, where spring begins not in May, as in Russia, but in March - April, writes astrologer Tatyana Borsch.
During the New Moon Pruning of plants is favorable and replanting is unfavorable. Sowing seeds is also unfavorable, since the etheric energy of the seed is too small and is not tuned to growth.
IN Full Moon days, on the contrary, everything comes to life - energy rushes from the roots up and out, filling the shoots and fruits. This is a favorable time for sowing and transplanting (since the energy is in the foliage and in the upper part of the plant, and not in the roots).
Fruits collected on the Full Moon and growing above surface of the earth, will have the most big set useful qualities.
Root vegetables are best collected in New Moon days, since it is on these days that all the power of plants is collected in the roots.
It is also advisable to collect seeds on the days of the New Moon, since the maximum level of energy “packed” in them is observed precisely on these days. Such seeds will remain strong until spring, and once in the ground, they will produce friendly and healthy shoots.
Astrologers divided the signs of the Zodiac according to fertility.
Days when the Moon is in the sign of Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio are considered very fertile, and everything planted these days will not wither, but will give a rich harvest.
Average productivity signs are Capricorn, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius.
And the signs of Aquarius, Leo and Aries are considered barren.
On the days of the New Moon you should neither plant nor sow. Also, do not work with sharp tools: a pickaxe, a hoe, a knife, an ax, a shovel. These days are only suitable for weeding and killing weeds.
Potato should be planted between Full Moon and New Moon. Plant potatoes for food a few days after the New Moon, and those intended for seeds - a few days before the Full Moon.
For strawberries and wild strawberries The best planting time is July, August during the waxing Moon.
Vegetables, which are growing long time, it is better to clean on those days when the Moon is in the last quarter - then they will remain in good condition for a long time, and will be preserved for a long time.
Grain harvest should be removed before the Full Moon.
Bush beans removed when she begins to lie down, but the Moon must be in the sign of Leo.
Trees should be cut only during the waxing moon. Trees are planted by the Full Moon, and pruned by the New Moon. If for some reason you are replanting old trees, they need to be dug up, moved to a new location and replanted only by the Full Moon. Remove all dried branches of fruit and fruit trees only before the Full Moon.
grape branches cut just before the New Moon, otherwise they will “bleed” for a long time.
Large indoor plants, growing in vats and tubs, they are transplanted into pots only before the Full Moon.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage and other plants with above-ground fruits you need to sow and plant when the moon is waxing.
All root vegetables (radish, beets, turnips, potatoes and others)- during the waning moon. This rule also applies when sowing seeds in greenhouses.
Between New Moon and Full Moon those plants are planted in which the above-ground part develops and grows more - trees and shrubs, flowers and vegetables.
Between Full Moon and New Moon Root crops are planted: potatoes, turnips, carrots, beets, rutabaga, radishes, black radishes, asparagus, and winter crops. At this time, sap flow is directed down to the roots. .
Plants that form fruits in the aboveground part are recommended to be sown in the waxing moon phase, root crops - in its waning phase.

January is usually the coldest month. Try to visit the garden. Any weather can be a “surprise” for him: severe frost is dangerous for the soil and unprotected trunks of young trees, snowfall can break off branches, and during a thaw, stone fruits can come out of dormancy...
After a snowfall, trample the snow in a ring around the trunks so that mice do not get to them. Place poisoned baits. During the thaw, shake off snow from the branches of young trees to prevent them from breaking off.
Ice damage is dangerous for the buds (they suffocate and die), so gently tap the branches with a stick to knock off the crust of ice.
Inspect the harness on the bollards, correct it if necessary. The same goes for whitewashing trunks. If it is washed away by rains, in frost-free weather it can be restored in February-March. This will protect the trees from frost damage and sunburn.
Remove the dried fruits remaining on the branches - a source of infection, nests of pests in curled leaves - burn them immediately. They contain hundreds of living caterpillars. In the spring they will begin active destructive work in the garden.
In a snowless winter, strawberries, especially new ones, may suffer from frost. Its roots are close to the soil surface and can freeze without shelter. Place tree branches, flower stems, and Jerusalem artichokes on the beds with strawberries.
If it wasn't already in January severe frosts, you can prepare cuttings for spring grafting. Store them in damp sand in the basement or in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Those who are interested in winter (table) grafting can start in the third decade. Winter vaccination is done from January before planting in open ground. Don’t forget to coordinate the timing of the work with the gardeners’ lunar calendar.
January is the time to start hardening the seeds. The hardening method involves a sharp change during the day in the temperature at which the seeds germinate. At the same time, the level of low temperatures can fluctuate from small positive to small negative indicators.
The soaked seeds are kept for 12 hours at a temperature of plus 18 degrees. The seeds should spend the next 12 hours at a temperature of plus 2 to minus 3 degrees. The heat-cold cycle is repeated until the seeds germinate. If the seeds are not exposed to sub-zero temperatures, they will usually germinate within two weeks. At lower temperatures (down to minus 3), germination will begin in three weeks.
You need to know this in order to sow seeds for seedlings on the most favorable days for this.
The time the seeds spend in the cold can be increased gradually. Pre-soaked seeds are first kept for 16 hours at plus 18-20 degrees and 8 hours at temperatures from 0 to minus two. On the second day, the time the seeds stay in heat is reduced and the cold period is increased. By the end of hardening, the seeds are kept in the cold for 16 hours a day and only 8 hours in the heat.
Hardened sprouted seeds are immediately sown in seedling containers or in greenhouses.
Hardening of seeds of early and late tomato varieties begins at different times, since they are not sown for seedlings at the same time.
Plants grown from hardened seeds acquire resistance to unfavorable growing conditions, begin to bear fruit earlier and are characterized by higher yields.
