What to do to the gardener and gardener in July
In July 2019, this is the time when plant care reaches its peak, hot weather requires constant watering and loosening. At the same time, the plants are developing wildly, and they need to be limited, otherwise the yield will not be the one that was expected.
During this period, the most unpleasant pests and plant diseases begin to appear, many decorative flowers stop flowering and need to be stocked with seeds, and at the same time remove the pedicels with the dried-up remnants of once beautiful cups. All the July work organically continues the intensive work begun at the end of April, but one cannot do without it.
In July 2019, the situation is no different from the standard July of each year. General principles remain unchanged in mid-summer. Corrections are made according to weather conditions.
It is clear that much depends on what the second summer month will be - hot, rainy, arid or cool. But the gardener and the gardener with experience already know what to do in each particular case, and those who are just starting their fruitful activity can focus on their rich experience.
In July 2019, work will be found for each category of farmers and plant growers, so you can carefully study the July table of agricultural work, compiled from many years of experience.

Preparations for August and the autumn work New crops |
Landing days in July 2019 will depend not only on the Lunar and sowing calendar. In order to make planting in time, you need to take care of the release of the beds.
To do this, even in the spring, time is calculated so that after the fruiting of some plants and their collection is completed, it is possible to plant compatible crops, in anticipation of the autumn harvest this year or already a spring crop. This rule works for all categories of growers.
Lunar sowing calendar for July 2024
Only those who have never worked in the garden are sure that no landings are made in July. Properly planned beds allow you to make good supplies for the winter, plant seedlings for greenhouse cultivation, get a second crop of greens and stock up on vitamins for at least some time. Zealous housewives manage to dry the greens in July.
Planting days can be done in the neutral period, if the time limits for planting seeds in the soil are tightened. The only thing to watch out for is the full moon and the new moon.
In any case, the work performed will not be successful, therefore, experienced gardeners always focus on a table that indicates favorable and unfavorable days according to the lunar calendar.

On July 4 and 5, the action of the New Moon passes, but the Moon is in the infertile sign - Leo. July 6th is the time to work only with annual flowers, but you can plant any kind of salad, basil and fennel.
But on such days, you can do other work on the site:
- Harvest and freeze some fruits and vegetables if the refrigerator allows or there is a freezer;
- dry loosening can be carried out, but watering and top dressing will be ineffective;
- any preparations are welcome - jam, jam, jams and jellies, drying and salting;
- You can make juices and wine;
- sow lawn grass, if there is space for this;
- carry out sanitary pruning of trees or rooting strawberries and wild strawberries.
These days should be used with maximum efficiency, since Sagittarius follows Scorpio, and he belongs to the unproductive signs of the Zodiac.
The full moon in July 2019 falls on the 17th, but it is better to hedge and exclude from the plans also the days closest to it - July 16 and 28. In addition, the period of Capricorn begins on July 16 and 17, and this is a clearly infertile sign, like the Aquarius following it.
A good time comes after the moon passes into Pisces. This three-day period should be used with maximum activity, because immediately after it comes the time of action of Aries - unfavorable for planting and definitely infertile.
In this period, no work with plant refinement is recommended - even picking, pruning, top dressing and watering should be excluded. The only plants with which you can work are raspberries and strawberries, and even then only with budding shoots and mustaches.
Visible activity should be planned for July 25 and 26, when the Moon is in Taurus, one of the best signs for gardening. If it was not possible to do everything planned, you can wait for the next Cancer. The Moon will go there on July 30 and 31, and you can finally finish all the landing work in the middle of summer.
Next comes August, in which there is even more work for workers who work with plants, and you need to look carefully again when to engage in their fruitful work.
