Lunar calendar for carrots: favorable days for planting and caring for crops in 2022

Terms of planting

It is worth planting carrots in open ground after the snow has completely melted and the earth has dried. The main condition is warm weather. The temperature outside must exceed +15 °C, and the ground must warm up to at least +7 °C. Such weather conditions come in the middle of spring. In the southern regions of Our Country, planting can begin at the end of March. It is worth noting that each variety requires a special time for planting. Seeds that can be stored until winter should not be planted until May.

As for sowing in a greenhouse, the planting time will depend on its characteristics. If the greenhouse has heating, planting can begin at the end of winter. In a greenhouse without heating, but with thermal insulation, sowing begins in March. If there is no heating, and the greenhouse is on the ground, sowing should not be done before May.

In order to dig up juicy beets or carrots, pay attention to favorable days for planting:

• March: 3, 10, 21, 27, 29;
• April: 1, 3, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22;
• May: 9, 11, 13, 14, 17.

Care culture

It is best to take care of root crops on days when the moon is under the signs of Taurus, Scorpio or Capricorn. These days, you can dig up weeds or thin out the ground. Fertilizer is necessary on the days of Pisces, Capricorn or Scorpio. As for watering, it must be done every day, regardless of the position of the moon, so as not to harm the seeds. Particular attention should be paid to carrots in the days of Aquarius, since there is a high probability of drought.

It is better not to carry out any activities in the garden when the moon is under the sign of Aries. Gemini are great days for weeding. It is strictly forbidden to transplant and plant seeds when the Leo phase comes. You can protect crops from pests in 2020 on the days of Virgo. To receive seed stock from root crops, select the days of Scorpio or Libra. You need to harvest only on the growing moon, preferably when it is in Aries or Virgo.

Harvest

Harvest time depends not only on the lunar calendar. Early varieties are always harvested in early spring. Collection of varieties intended for autumn storage is carried out towards the end of spring. Astrologers say that it is not recommended to carry out any work on the full moon and new moon. Carrots removed from the soil lose their nutrients. If the harvest takes place on a new moon or a full moon, magnetic fields affect the roots, which force the carrots to wither and age faster.

The readiness of the fruit for collection is determined by the lower leaves on the tops. If they turn yellow, the carrots are ripe. Vegetables to be eaten in the winter are harvested no earlier than September. Late-ripening varieties should also not be harvested early. They need to be kept in the ground longer, even in adverse weather. Do not forget that carrots are resistant to cold, so they will keep up even at low temperatures. If you want to store carrots for a long time, in no case do not pick them in the heat.

Planting for the winter

Before winter, root crops are planted to collect an early harvest. This procedure is carried out in autumn or spring. This method can only be practiced in moderate winter conditions. Seeds planted in autumn are hardened at low temperatures, so they become more resistant to frost. They are saturated with moisture, so you should expect a good harvest.

In order to harvest a good harvest, it is necessary to plant carrots before winter after the first frost. Usually such conditions come at the end of October. If planting is carried out earlier, the seeds will freeze.

For sowing, it is better to choose the days of the waning moon. You need to refrain from gardening on the days of the full moon and new moon. Auspicious signs are Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn. If you plant closer to the full moon, the vegetables will quickly grow, and by the new moon the roots will be distributed in width.

If you follow the lunar calendar, you can harvest a rich harvest of delicious and juicy carrots. Pay attention to the dates that are categorically not suitable for any work in the garden next year.

In March, you should not work on the ground on the 1st, 3rd, 14th, 17th, 19th, 22nd, 25th and 31st. In April, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 28, 29, 30 should be attributed to unfavorable days. In May, it is better not to work in the garden 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 9, 12, 13 and 16 numbers. In particularly cold regions, it is worth focusing not only on the lunar calendar, but also on the readiness of the soil, as well as temperature conditions.
