When to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2019 according to the lunar calendar: favorable days

The time has already begun to prepare for the summer season, since the climate in Russia is unpredictable, in order to get ripe vegetables in the summer, you need to grow them in seedlings. The lunar calendar will help determine the suitable day when to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2019.

What effect does the moon have on plants

Numerous observations have shown that the behavior of the Earth’s satellite directly affects the formation of plants, we find out what you need to know to a summer resident engaged in growing vegetables:

1. The full moon is a critical day for planting seeds, at this time it is better to deal with weeds, the fight against pests and plant diseases will be successful.
2. On the waning moon, you should not deal with transplantation, and in general any procedures affecting the roots. At this time, plants that grow in the ground, such as potatoes, are planted. You can do trimming excess foliage, make fertilizers.
3. For the new moon, experienced gardeners advise you not to carry out any procedures at all, but the next day you can remove weeds, dried shoots.
4. Sowing seeds is best on the growing moon, especially vegetables, fruiting above the earth. Great time for pruning, during this period the plants will less painfully endure this procedure.

In addition, you should take into account the zodiac sign in which the Moon is located, so it is better to plant the early varieties of tomato under the constellation Pisces. Then the harvest will be plentiful, but these vegetables should be consumed in a short time.

Determine the date of planting seedlings

If you transplant seedlings too early, then the sprouts can outgrow, and late planting will not bring good results either. We learn how to calculate the date when to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2019 according to the lunar calendar, so that this can be done not only to residents of central Russia, but also to those who live in the Urals and Siberia.

It is quite easy to make these calculations, owning the following information:

1. To begin with, you should determine the date when the seedlings will be planted in the open air, as well as the place. In the greenhouse, plant transplantation can be carried out earlier, it is still necessary to find out the weather forecasters predictions for spring.
2. It is necessary to take into account how many days seedlings can be at home, it depends on the variety, the selected tomatoes.
3. And also take into account the number of days that are required for the appearance of the first shoots.

To determine the date of planting, you will need a table from which you will see the ripening period of various tomato varieties.

Then you can choose the best date when you can sow tomatoes for seedlings in 2019, drawing on the lunar calendar.

In Moscow and the Moscow Region, this process begins in March, and an open air transplant is carried out in the second half of May.

This is due to the climate of the region, they simply do not have time to mature, and 2019 will not be an exception. Weather forecasters promise late spring and cool summers, therefore, choosing the date of landing from the lunar calendar, it is also necessary to take into account natural factors.

We look at lunar calendar, where it is indicated that suitable days are being added from March 18 to 20, we select any of them.

If you need to plant mid-season tomatoes, then subtract 60 days, as well as 5 days for germination. Thus, the date is March 9th.

• the third decade of March - early tomatoes intended for planting in the soil under a film shelter;
• the end of March - tall tomatoes that will be planted in a greenhouse;
• the first decade of April - undersized varieties for greenhouses;
• early March - large tomatoes.
