It is known that in 2018 the Moon will be in Gemini and Pisces in February, the 8th, and 6–7 in March, respectively. Gardeners should try to have time to sow it at this time, because it is the most favorable. Naturally, it is possible to transfer the sowing to another day, but it is important to avoid days that carry extremely negative energy for plants.

In January, you should avoid the first two days of the month, the period from 11 to 13, as well as from 27 to 29.
It is strictly forbidden to plant in February 4th, on days 10 to 12, in the period 24-27.

Some gardeners sow in April, they need to take note that the negative periods fall on the period of 10-12 or 19-21, as well as from March 25 to 27.

At this time, you need to forget about sowing, pre-sowing preparation, soaking seeds, selection and processing of soil. Everything related to the preparation for the sowing of strawberries, as well as with direct sowing, will be unsuccessful.

At this time, the celestial body will visit zodiac houses that are not supportive of the development of this culture, many berry cultures will not be able to develop well and give the gardener strong seedlings. In the list presented above, there are also unfavorable days, which coincide with the full moon and the new moon.

It is known that on the full moon and on the new plants have little power to puke. Landing during this period can bear fruit. Seedlings can develop, but it will be weak and unlikely to be able to take root in a new place after a transplant.

Important! The days preceding the new moon and several days after are related to the unfavorable time, the time of the lunar cycle renewal.

What is important for a gardener to know

Strawberries belong to the group of perennial crops. It is known that bushes, which are at least 3 years old, no more than 5, bring a high yield. Five-year-old bushes are replaced by young ones. They are unsuitable for further cultivation in order to obtain a good harvest. The replacement of the bush should be in the form of a dug mustache rooted in the summer season. The mustache is an escape of a strong and healthy bush of culture. The main bush for the breeding season will weaken. For this reason, they try to remove the mustache as quickly as possible so that this does not affect the yield.

Many farmers prefer to renew strawberry beds every 4 years or 5 years. Complete replacement is carried out using bushes formed in places where a mustache was dug up. Sometimes gardeners want to replace the old variety with a new one. Updating the beds with a new variety can be carried out exclusively by cultivating the crop by the seedling method.

The vegetative period in the culture takes from 20 days to 30 days. Sowing strawberries for seedlings is necessary a few weeks before transplanting. The main thing is to make sure that the plant blooms and bears fruit on a permanent habitat.

A transplant at this time can ruin the culture. Berry crops are largely considered strong and stable, but they can be destroyed by the carelessness of the gardener, ignoring the special needs of the plant.

Is it worth planting strawberries in February

Some gardeners and gardeners call strawberry culture as a joke a snowdrop. The plant is ready to fully renew when snow falls and the air temperature becomes warmer, more stable. At this point, you can see the first few green leaves of strawberries. A high air temperature will be necessary for the plant solely for the formation and ripening of fruits. It is known that culture responds well to extremes and low temperatures.

Given this information, it can be said that the strawberry planting will be successful if it is carried out in the cold. The main thing is that the temperature be positive, albeit slightly, and the site should be protected from the winds.

Of course, it will take a long time to wait for the first shoots, however, landing in open ground will go smoothly. In February, you can sow strawberries for seedlings, the main thing is that the planting days fall on the first or fifth day, it will work well on February 13 and 16.

Preferably mid-season varieties are selected for such planting dates. Many mid-season strawberries have a great taste, well balanced. They are characterized by high productivity, which is several times higher than the productivity of crop hybrids. The amount of vitamins in such strawberries is much higher.

Repairing varieties should be used by gardeners planning to breed crops in a greenhouse, on a loggia or window sill. Such breeding varieties give small bushes that reach a height of 30 cm, and develop well in open ground. The fruiting period will last only two months out of five possible. But the taste of the fruit will be sweeter than other varieties.

Even large berries will not be sour. An additional advantage of the variety is its good resistance to cold. Gardeners know that not only sowing cannot be carried out on the New Moon and Full Moon. It is not necessary to carry out a transplant during this period.

The best time to plant strawberries in a greenhouse in 2018

Frost in the exhaust gas negatively affects the culture. The leaves of strawberries begin to blacken, their regeneration needs time, which leads to a poor harvest, because the strawberry begins to spend a lot of energy on restoration. You can avoid trouble by planting a berry culture under a film cover. Gardeners planning to enjoy the first berries in March should plant strawberries by the end of November or in the first decade of December.

Of course, growing in a greenhouse requires great commitment from a person. You will have to spend time creating the ideal lighting for the culture, ideal temperature conditions (air and soil). You should not expect sweets from strawberries grown in the greenhouse. Berries will have acidity, which is expressed more than that of fruits ripening in the sun.

Sowing strawberries for seedlings in Siberia

The question of when it is possible to plant strawberries for growing seedlings from seeds is relevant for gardeners in Siberian regions in 2018.It is enough to use information on the lunar calendar developed by experts and take into account climatic conditions.

Seedlings need time to strengthen in order to perfectly cope with transplantation and engraftment in a new place. It is worth sowing in the first few days of April.

Siberian summer is short. Therefore, the planting should be planned so as to transplant the culture in mid-May. The favorable time will last exactly a month for this procedure. Summer in Siberia usually lasts no longer than 40-45 days. You can enjoy the ripened berries in the beginning or in the middle of July. Planting seeds in the soil is carried out in March, until the temperature has risen to 10 degrees, crops should be kept indoors.

Sowing strawberries in the Urals

According to the calendar of lunar biorhythms, the optimal time for planting strawberries in the Ural regions falls at the beginning of March. The positive period this year begins on March 4th and ends on the 8th. Formed seedlings are planted in the ground in June. From the first day to 7. You can carry out the transplant procedure in May, for this it is time to finish everything on the same day, the 27th.

Seedling is not as difficult as it might seem. Just remember:

Plant seeds in the ground mixed with peat.
Tanks with seeded strawberries are covered with a film, a glass jar is used for pots.
Tanks are placed in heat, but not close to radiators or other sources of heat.

It is necessary to remember, before transplanting seedlings into the ground, that young bushes need pruning. You can leave a couple of leaves. All year-old bushes are processed to remove male outlets, this helps to increase the level of productivity. Male sockets, unlike female ones, do not develop fruits, but give a lot of mustaches.

Sockets are twisted as accurately as possible so as not to harm the root system and not destroy the entire bush. Male outlets resume after some time. The process of removing the outlet is carried out several times during the vegetative period of the culture.

Sowing culture in the suburbs

The best period for sowing strawberries in the suburbs is the last two winter months. Given the information on the lunar calendar. The ideal time will be the period from February 3 to 8. You can plant bushes already in April, if you sow according to the tips of the calendar of lunar biorhythms. The mustache is rooted for reproduction on June 30 or July, preferably on the 4th. This helps maximize yield. Old and strong bushes are propagated by mustaches at the end of May, it is better during the period of 27–28 days or in the first four days of June.

Many gardeners grow mustaches or dividing bushes. But the seed, seedling method is not so difficult, not so laborious and is perfect for those people who love to replenish the site with new varieties of strawberries.

Gardener tips

It is important to buy seed from a supplier who has been able to establish itself well by offering the best varieties of the best quality. Young bushes can be planted exclusively in cultivated land, after periods of frost have passed and there is no risk of a sharp cooling.
It is worth making the landing holes deep and wide to fit the root system without bending it. However, do not plant too deep. The roots should be covered with soil, but the top should be directly on the surface of the soil.

Sufficient space must be provided for growth. To do this, it is important to keep a large distance between each planted bush. The pH should be between 5.5 and 7. If the readings do not match, you must first change the soil pH. Strawberry plant requires 6-10 hours of direct sunlight per day, so you need to choose a suitable place for planting. The main thing is to determine when it is worth planting strawberries for seedlings of the best seeds in the current 2018, it is important to use data on the lunar calendar compiled by astrologers.
