Sowing calendar 2017 (for Moscow region)

Despite the fact that today the request is so relevant: the sowing calendar for 2017 for the Moscow region, make up such a calendar from ancient times. It all started with the usual observation of the Moon, when our ancestors realized that certain of its phases (or rather, the work carried out at that time) positively or negatively affect garden plants.

For boarding days, regardless of the year, the phase of the new moon and full moon is definitely not suitable. All due to the fact that the movement of juice in plants stops or is in the wrong part. For example, in the full moon, most of the juices are at the top of the plants: in the fruits, and in the new moon: underground (in the roots). If the seeds fall into the earth on the growing moon, then the plant is provided with growth, and the gardener - a good harvest.

The moon can be in eight states. The sequence in which they change:

• New moon. The first phase of the moon is the crescent shape. In the first phase, the moon is also called young or growing;
• The first quarter, the second phase of the moon (convex). In the second phase, the entire surface is consecrated, except for a thin crescent-shaped strip. Then comes the full moon;
• The third phase is also called the scattering moon. It is also convex, but decreases. Next is the third quarter;
• The fourth phase of the moon is also called aging or balsamic. The satellite is seen in the sky as a thin sickle, after which a new moon sets in and the sickle turns to the other side;

In order to independently compose a sowing calendar for the Moscow Region or another region, you must necessarily navigate in the phases of the moon. In principle, many days are good for gardening work or are neutral. If the day is categorically not suitable for working with the earth, then it is best to postpone all manipulations. This will only benefit both plant growth and future harvest.

How to make a sowing calendar:

1. With the new moon, the plant's vital juices go to the roots. Do not carry out any manipulations.
2. On the growing moon, the movement of juice occurs from the root to the top and to the leaves. Plants can be planted and transplanted. This is especially true for specimens with a highly developed terrestrial part represented by stems and leaves (ordinary seedlings).
3. If the plant sits close to the full moon, then it will stretch less into the stem. But, damage to the roots during this period will not be very dangerous, because, as the juice moves up.
4. The plants, fruits and herbs have maximum juiciness in the full moon.
5. With a waning moon, the juices will move from the top to the roots. This means that this period is ideal for planting root crops. You can also trim plants.
6. The most critical moments for gardening is the new moon and the full moon. The plant in this period is as vulnerable and vulnerable as possible, therefore, it is recommended to transfer all work to a more favorable time.

As for the flowers, they are also recommended to be planted in the growing phase of the moon.This will make them fragrant and produce a lot of seeds. From other garden works in the described period, it is possible to introduce mineral fertilizers into the ground.

Second quarter of the growing moon

You can plant annuals that bring fleshy fruits with seeds as a crop. It's about zucchini and beans, peas, tomatoes, pepper and pumpkin. You can safely sow any creeping crops. Also, time is suitable for cereals.

Third quarter of the waning moon

It is time to tackle perennials. One-year-olds, in principle, can also be planted during this period, but only those that will produce a tuber or root crop: rutabaga, carrot, rhubarb and radish, turnip and beetroot, winter wheat. As for potatoes for food, it is better to plant it immediately after the full moon.

During the described period, the planting calendar also recommends dealing with trees and shrubs, grapes. During this period, the root system will develop well. You can trim trees and shrubs.

The fourth phase of the waning moon

Suitable for planting vegetables, as well as collecting them for storage. Unfavorable time for dividing the roots or propagating the bulbs. If you plant seeds on a waning moon, the plant will actively develop in the underground. Therefore, your attention should be focused on root crops and tubers.

The gardener's sowing calendar for 2017 is always only a recommendation. Depending on the specific region and even the settlement, all garden work must be carried out, focusing solely on specific conditions. But, if you remember the main phases of the moon and the rules for working in them, then the harvest will always be excellent.
