Gardener’s lunar calendar for December 2022: the best sowing days for gardeners

Auspicious days

Seeds planted in the first two weeks of the lunar month will grow upwards. Root crops, on the contrary, in the last 14 days grow in depth. When a new month appears in the sky, as well as on a full moon, it is impossible to disturb the soil and plants.

When working in the garden, it is necessary to remember in which sign of the Zodiac the queen of the night is located. They can be divided into the following groups:

1. Fertile: Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
2. Medium fertile: Capricorn, Taurus, Libra and Sagittarius.
3. Barren: Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Virgo and Leo.

It would seem, what kind of sowing work can be discussed when it is December? Winter is not at all an obstacle for a gardener, because you can do what you love both in a heated indoor greenhouse and grow plants on a windowsill. Winter sowing does not mean at all that the seeds will sprout worse than in spring.

The gardener’s lunar calendar for December 2022 consists of the following periods:

• December 1-6 – the moon is waning;
• December 7 – new moon;
• December 8-15 – the moon is growing;
• December 16-21 – the moon is growing;
• December 22 – full moon;
• December 23-29 – the moon is waning;
• December 30-31 – the moon is waning.

In an open area, you can fix the snow cap on bushes and seedlings, level the mulch scattered by the wind. Trees in the garden should be inspected for rodent damage. If damaged bark is found, it must be treated with garden pitch.

Landing dates, types of work allowed on certain days of the month should be compared with the lunar calendar for 2022, which will be considered in detail.
