When growing plants on your land, you need to focus not only on varietal characteristics, but also on the lunar calendar. Every year it allows you to determine the optimal time for work. What the gardener’s lunar calendar for June 2022 includes, we will consider in this article.
Main activities in June
June is the first month of summer and at this time a lot of work in the garden and in the garden is already done. However, the gardener still has a lot of work to do, as this month is a great time to plant low-growing and early-ripening varieties of tomatoes, potatoes, or other vegetable varieties (for example, radishes, herbs, cucumbers or zucchini) into the ground.
At this time, cuttings of shrubs such as barberry, gooseberry, currant, honeysuckle, sea buckthorn, etc. are carried out. The month is suitable for planting trees and bushes with a closed root system.
In the first month of summer, gardeners usually fertilize fruit crops, since by this period they have almost used up their supply of organic matter. To replenish it, bird droppings or fermented manure are often used. It is necessary to dilute these fertilizers before applying to the soil in water at a concentration of 1:20 and 1:10, respectively. After breeding, top dressing is evenly distributed throughout the near-trunk circle. Fertilizer consumption depends on the type of crop.
At this time, it is recommended to spray plantings (for example, cucumbers) with a solution of honey or sugar. This will attract pollinating insects, thereby increasing the yield of vegetables. In addition, many plants during this period can be sprayed with prophylactic agents against various ailments (for example, tomatoes from late blight).
It is worth noting that the lunar calendar for each year has a detailed description of what and on what day in this month should be performed.
Moon calendar
The lunar calendar of the gardener and gardener for June 2018 has the following recommendations for gardening:
- 1-12 number (waning moon). The force of attraction of the moon, which is in this phase, has an effect on the flora, as a result of which the juice of plants gradually returns back to the roots. Therefore, the root system during this period will be more sensitive to various kinds of manipulations. In this case, tree branches will become less sensitive. Because of this, in the phase of the waning moon, it is recommended to fertilize various root crops, as well as plant them in the ground. This is a good time to prune fruit trees. From the 1st to the 12th, you can harvest vegetables or carry out preventive treatments for plantings;

During the full moon, root crops can be harvested from the underground parts of plants (for example, beets, potatoes and onions);

During this time, it is recommended to plant flowers, various shrubs and fruit trees in the ground. Grafting of species is also permitted. These are favorable days for planting species that form a crop in their aerial part (for example, strawberries, lettuces, etc.).

These days, watering and fertilizing plantings and various types of tillage should also be carried out. An excellent time for pre-harvesting cuttings and grafting;
