The influence of the moon on planting and caring for them according to the lunar calendar of the gardener and gardener April 2, 2017

Moon in the zodiac sign Gemini (±)

Moon in sign Twins. an infertile sign, but more fertile than Aquarius, Leo and Aries. Plants sown and planted under this sign do not have a pronounced taste and smell, will have an unstable stem that requires support.

Sowing and planting these days contributes to the formation of a powerful root system. However, it is better not to sow or plant - the harvest will be unimportant.

Favorable in Gemini:

  • sowing and planting melons, climbing plants, as well as those plants that have a mustache, such as: melons, strawberries, beans and peas;
  • planting and sowing ampelous and ornamental plants with hanging, creeping or creeping stems;
  • loosening without watering, hilling, thinning seedlings, weeding;
  • spraying from pests and diseases;
  • strawberry mustache trimming, shoot removal, shaping, sanitary cleaning, pinching, pinching and grafting;
  • cleaning for long-term storage of fruits and root crops, including potatoes;
  • harvesting grain crops, harvesting flowers, collecting medicinal herbs, collecting fruits for testes and seeds of medicinal plants, digging up bulbs and tubers;
  • cutting flowers, they are better stored during transportation and do not fade for a long time in a bouquet;
  • haymaking;
  • mowing lawns so that the grass grows slowly;
  • firewood preparation;
  • digging bulbs and tubers;
  • harvesting grown products for future use: canning, salting, sauerkraut, drying, harvesting juices and wine;
  • bakery.

Sowing, planting, transplanting and rooting cuttings of crops are possible in Gemini:

  • shrub and climbing plants: creepers, passionflower, ivy, etc.;
  • vegetables: legumes, cabbage (broccoli, kohlrabi, Beijing, Savoy, cauliflower), hot pepper, radish;
  • spicy greens: valerian, mint, parsley, fennel, spinach;
  • fruits and berries: melons, grapes, strawberries, lemongrass;
  • flowers: sweet pea, lily of the valley, passionflower, rose;
  • indoor plants: asparagus (dense-flowered, Meyer, cirrus, asparagus), zebrina, graceful callisia, feathery palms (Canarian date, Weddel coconut), purple netcreasia, tradescantia, crested chlorophytum, cyanotis kyussky.

Not favorable in twins:

  • planting and transplanting herbaceous plants.

7 lunar day (+ )

April 2, 2017 at 12:00 - 7 lunar day. considered favorable for horticulture. The collection of energy, juices and nutrients from the roots of plants and its concentration in fruits and leaves continues.

  • planting, transplanting, fertilizing and grafting;
  • harvesting plants with edible tops (tomatoes, fruits, berries, zucchini, squash, peas, beans, pumpkins, cucumbers, peppers, etc.);
  • harvesting flower crops and medicinal plants;
  • harvesting root crops;
  • watering, and as often as possible;
  • harvesting cuttings, mowing the lawn, collecting herbs;
  • tillage and seed collection;
  • canning and other preparations for the winter, fermentation, salting;
  • harvesting tops and leaves;
  • pruning and picking plants.

Be careful when farming. The tool can easily damage the roots and young shoots of plants, which during this period react very painfully to any manipulations.

Waxing Moon (+ )

The moon is in phase Waxing Crescent. the circulation of vital forces and plant juices, the activity of the biofield is directed from the roots upwards, from the center to the periphery. This is the period of the most intensive development of the aerial parts of plants.

The seed planted at this time receives a program for more active upward growth, intensive development of above-ground biomass. By pruning plants during this period, we awaken dormant buds and new shoots quickly grow from them. It is important to know the measure when pruning, otherwise the plant may bleed and die.

On the growing moon it is favorable:

  • sowing, planting and transplanting green, leafy, fruit and melon crops;
  • planting and transplanting fruit trees, berry bushes and strawberries;
  • tillage, watering and mineral dressing, rooting of cuttings;
  • graft.

On the growing moon is not favorable:

  • Budding. The roots at this time react little to damage, but the survival rate and viability of the root system are reduced, therefore, plants planted and transplanted during this period should be constantly monitored.

Influence of the day of the week (±)

Day of the week - Sunday, this day goes under the Sun, because it is permeated with its cheerful, invigorating energy and gives good power to people and plants.

Sunday has long been reserved for rest. And people are happy to communicate with each other, meet to spend time in conversations, games, pleasures. This is the day of Sunday festivities, visits at the call of the soul, which straightens up after a week of fatigue and work, washed by friendly participation and unity. Sunday is for light, not hard work in the garden.

The moon significantly affects the life of our planet, this fact is confirmed by thousands of years of observations. But the most interesting thing for us is that gardeners and gardeners can use this influence to their advantage.

People have long noticed that there is a connection between the dates of sowing seeds and the subsequent development of plants. This connection has long been identified and actively used.
To make it easier for summer residents to determine “good” and “bad” planting days, the “Lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners for April 2017” was compiled. Look into it more often, put it into practice and get an additional harvest.

Attention! The table shows the most favorable days for planting and sowing seeds, but this does not mean at all that planting cannot be done on other days. Nothing should be planted in prohibited days.

The calendar was compiled taking into account the fact that during the passage of the Moon through various signs of the Zodiac, it does not have the same effect on plants.

On certain days it is better to plant, transplant, and on others it is preferable to water, weed or treat the garden from pests.

The table shows the phases of the moon, its position in the signs of the zodiac and recommended work for gardeners - gardeners - flower growers for each day of the month.

Spring work in the garden

Already at the beginning of the month, it is necessary to harrow the soil dug up in autumn as soon as possible, sow early vegetables, install temporary film shelters, sow fast-growing cold-resistant (mustard, phacelia) green manure in the beds, which will be occupied by heat-loving vegetables.

Now they sell collapsible greenhouses of various calibers. They are installed over the prepared bed in a few minutes. You can simply cover the bed with a frame covered with a film, or insulate the area with a film on arcs.

The simplest shelter will allow you to get seedlings of radishes, lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions sown with nigella, kohlrabi at an earlier date than in open beds. Seeds of cold-resistant crops begin to germinate at low positive temperatures, but if the microclimate is made warmer by several degrees, seedlings will appear faster, plants will develop more actively.

In addition to the tips of the Lunar sowing calendar, gardeners use the tips of nature:

They begin to sow on open beds in April when crocuses bloom in the garden.

A small greenhouse can be equipped for sowing seeds, picking tomato seedlings. You can sow dry tomato seeds immediately in the garden and cover with a film on the arcs. Low film tunnels will be obtained, which will provide favorable conditions for friendly seedlings and at first will protect seedlings from April weather changes. On warm days, such shelters can be opened or removed, accustoming tomatoes to direct sunlight, wind, and in May they can be completely removed.

The birch trees are green - we plant potatoes.

At the beginning of the month, we continue to prepare potatoes for planting: examining the tubers, we remove the sick, not germinated, with thread-like sprouts.

Some summer residents germinate cleanly washed tubers in plastic bags, having previously made holes in them. In more humid conditions, not only eyes, but also roots begin to develop on the tubers. It is only important not to break off those and others during transportation, landing.

When warm weather sets in (birch trees turn green), we plant potatoes, even if the tuber eyes have not reached the desired centimeter length: the tubers become more active in the soil.

The first daffodils for early cabbage

In the second half of April, we plant hardened seedlings of cabbage in the beds - Brussels sprouts, Peking, cauliflower, white cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi. You can navigate by the flowering of early daffodils growing in the sun. In cool weather, cabbage takes root well, begins to intensively grow leaves. In case of severe cooling, it is necessary to provide temporary shelter for plants with non-woven material, film.

When the soil in greenhouses at a depth of 10 cm warms up to 14 degrees, we plant tomato seedlings in unheated greenhouses. For planting seedlings or sowing seeds of cucumbers, we will wait for more heat. Cold soil is fraught with root rot for these heat-loving plants.

If the soil in the greenhouse has not changed for a long time, it is abundantly moistened with a solution of extrasol: 10 g (st. Spoon) per 10 liters of water, consumption - 7-8 liters of working solution per square meter. m. This helps to populate the soil with beneficial microflora and suppress the pathogenic one.

Around the middle of the month, at home or in a greenhouse, we sow the seeds of cucumbers and zucchini in separate cups in order to plant seedlings that have not grown into open ground in May.

Nightshade seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants) for open ground dive, feed (1 g of complex fertilizer per liter of water), begin to harden in the open air. In April, it is not too late to sow tomatoes for seedlings - in small cassettes or cups, so that in May (without picking) they can be planted in open ground.

We try not to spoil the seedlings that have begun to outgrow: we lower the temperature (open the windows or take the plants to the loggia), water less, do not feed with nitrogen, improve the illumination.

At the end of the month, we dig green manure (both overwintered and sown in the spring) in the areas allotted for planting seedlings of heat-loving crops.

Lunar calendars for the following months:

The most popular signs about the weather for April include the following:

  • At the beginning of the month, a big flood - to a good harvest.
  • A thunderstorm in early April - to a warm summer and a harvest of nuts.
  • If a lot of birch sap flows, then the summer will be rainy.
  • If the birch opened before the alder, then the summer will be sunny, if vice versa, it will be cold and rainy.
  • If the nightingale sang on bare trees, then we can expect a good fruit harvest.
  • What the weather is like on April 1st, it will be like this on October 1st.

These popular signs of April come true with almost a 100% guarantee.

Garden work in April: pruning and grafting trees

The most important garden work in April is tree pruning, but it needs to be done at the very beginning of the month. Start with blackcurrant bushes, gooseberries and honeysuckle.

Cut off the black ends of the branches, rejuvenate the bushes by cutting out the old branches. At the gooseberry, cut out all the young shoots growing in the middle of the bush. Leave only those that grow along the edges of the bush. In red and white currants, the tops of the branches are not cut off, but only the old branches and those branches that branch into the crown are removed. In honeysuckle, thickening crowns or broken branches are pruned, but fruit-bearing or young shoots are not pruned.

Do not rush to cut cherries and plums, wait until freezing after wintering is clearly visible, and even better, leave their pruning for autumn. The same goes for apple trees. After a harsh winter, the ends of the branches could freeze, but some of the branches will be able to recover from the buds on the bark, so do not rush to cut the branches, leave it for the end of summer. Frozen wood has a light brown color on the cut. Start pruning from the end of the branch, and gradually move from the end to the skeletal branches, you will get to the place where the cut is light. Starting from this place, the wood tissue is alive and there is no need to cut further. The pear wood is generally beige in color, and not white, like the apple tree. The frozen woody tissue of a pear is brown.

At the beginning of the month, remove spruce branches from young plantings of strawberries, roses, irises, clematis, lilies, especially from oriental hybrids, because under a warm shelter they will quickly grow and their flower buds may freeze during return frosts. But do not rush to remove boxes from roses and clematis.

Other than tree pruning, April is a good time for grafting. At the very beginning of the month, cut off the cuttings for grafting, wrap them in a newspaper, put them in a plastic bag and dig them into the snow on the north side of the house, but so that they are not flooded with melt water. At the end of the month, use them for vaccination. The same can be done with plant seeds.

In the gardener's calendar for 2017, April is a responsible month. First of all, you need to drain excess water from the site, for which dig grooves along its slope so that the water flows into the ditch. If there is no slope on the site, then simply lay a shallow groove, gradually deepening it so that the water flows in the direction you need. Stagnant water is especially dangerous for raspberries, strawberries and clematis.

If the compost heap is in the sun, then early greens (chervil, watercress, cilantro, parsley, lettuce, spinach, dill) and early carrots, as well as radishes, can be sown on it. To do this, pour last year's pile of compost with hot water, pour a layer of soil about 7-8 cm thick on top of it and sow the seeds. I usually do it like this: 1 tsp. I mix seeds with 0.5 cups of sand and sow them in the furrows, just as they salt food. You can use special seeders, in which the hole is adjustable according to the size of the seeds. In this case, the seedlings will not thicken. From above, cover the crops with a film until shoots appear. Warmth and moisture are stored under it, and shoots appear faster. Then the film must be removed, otherwise the shoots may burn under it. If you cover the crops with lutrasil or spunbond, then the covering material can not be removed until the plants grow up. But before germination, water the crops directly over the material if the weather is dry or windy so that the hatched seeds do not dry out in the upper drying soil layer.

In early April, when doing work in the garden, pre-grow weeds on vegetable beds, covering them with an old film and fixing it so that the wind does not blow it away. Under the film, weeds will quickly sprout. As soon as they appear, remove the film and loosen the beds, leaving them open for a day. Then cover again with foil and repeat the operation. Now there are no weeds in the top layer of soil in your garden. It is important not to dig up the soil, but only before sowing, loosen it with a Fokin flat cutter no deeper than 5-6 cm, then make furrows for sowing with the sharp end of the flat cutter.

In the northwest, at the very beginning of the month, while the buds have not yet awakened, to destroy lichens on tree trunks, try to have time to spray with ferrous sulfate (1 tsp without top per 100 ml of water). In addition, it can also be sprayed against wintering pests with a solution of urea (700 g of substance per 10 liters of water). Spraying should be done at the ends of the branches, along the branches, their forks and skeletal branches, along the trunk and near-trunk circle, along the soil.

Toward the end of April, before fertilizing, those plants in which the scales of the buds have moved apart and a green cone of leaves have appeared should be sprayed, since the first pests lay their eggs at this time in the green cone.

Feed with nitrogen fertilizer (3 tablespoons of urea per 10 liters of water) lovage, rhubarb, sorrel. Instead of urea, you can use an infusion of manure or bird droppings, diluted with water 1:10 or 1:20, respectively.

At home, seedlings of tomatoes and peppers should be watered moderately so as not to overmoisten the soil. Remember that seedlings need good lighting. As a top dressing for plants in April, a weak solution of Uniflora-bud (1 teaspoon per 5 liters of water) is recommended, which should be watered with seedlings instead of water.

When caring for seedlings in April, do not forget to spray the leaves of tomatoes and eggplants with a very weak solution of a copper preparation (the easiest way is to use copper oxychloride - HOM, dissolving 0.2 tsp of powder in 5 liters of water). The solution can stand, you will use it 2 more times approximately every two weeks. This is a good preventive measure against late blight. But the often recommended spraying with a solution of manganese can be omitted, since it does not save from late blight, and other diseases rarely appear on tomato seedlings. A solution of potassium permanganate is suitable for spraying peppers, especially if they are annoyed by aphids. Peppers are difficult to protect from aphids if there are indoor plants in the same room where the seedlings grow. However, if you have a "Healthy Garden", then use it (6-8 grains of the drug per 1 liter of water). Such spraying can be done in the room. It is great for dealing with aphids on any plants in the garden.

Another important event planned in the gardener's calendar for April 2017 is the removal of potatoes from storage. Dip it in hot (45 ° C) water until the water cools down. When the water has cooled, add potassium permanganate to a bright pink color and hold the tubers in this solution for 15-20 minutes. Then wash the tubers, dry them and lay them out for vernalization in a bright and cool place. At the end of April, put the potatoes in cardboard boxes, layering each layer with newspapers, put the boxes in a warm place so that they give good strong sprouts. You will plant germinated tubers, thereby accelerating the ripening of the crop by 2 weeks.

Sowing seeds in open ground in April

In early April, leaf parsley seeds are sown on greens and bush dill. If you cover these landings with lutrasil or put arcs over them and stretch the film, then by the first of May there will be the first greenery.

Sowing in open ground in April of seeds of all cold-resistant crops (carrots, lettuce, black onions, dill, parsnips, radishes, cabbage, chervil) can be carried out at the time of flowering coltsfoot, i.e. at the end of the month (on northwest). To get early strawberries, cover the garden bed with a film tunnel on arcs or double thin lutrasil directly over the bushes.

In mid-April, sow marigolds, marigolds, zinnia, and euphorbia for seedlings.

At the end of April, seeds of annuals that are not afraid of frost (poppy, escholcia, cosmea, cornflowers, iberis, catchment, forget-me-nots, marigolds) are sown in the ground in a permanent place. Other flowers can also be sown directly into the ground, even such as tobacco or petunia, but their crops should be covered with a film stretched over small arcs. Arcs are easy to make yourself from willow twigs, from which you immediately need to remove the bark. Or put the film on 300-gram plastic bottles filled with water and stuck with the neck into the soil. It is important that the film does not lie on the crops.

At the end of the month, you can remove the shelter from all ornamental plants, except for clematis. It is better to cover their growing shoots, for example, with lutrasil.

As soon as the soil thaws, moles immediately appear (they pour mounds of earth) or their relatives mole rats (make moves without hills of earth). It is difficult to fight them, but recently a new drug Alfos-mole has appeared - try using it.
