For a long time, farmers noted the existing relationship between the plant world and the satellite of our planet. Planting a seedling on the growing moon and in the period falling on one of the fertile signs of the zodiac gave the tree fast growth, health and a high yield, unlike other plants. This article is dedicated to the biodynamic calendar for sowing in June 2019, it will indicate good and undesirable periods for working with plants.
The lunar calendar of the gardener and gardener for June 2019
During its 29-day journey around the Earth, the Moon passes (from the point of view of earthlings) through all 12 signs of the Zodiac. These signs are divided into four groups: these are Water, Earth, Air and Fire. Water and earth signs are generally considered optimal for planting and pruning, stimulating the growth of plantations. Airy and fiery signs are classified as barren and are suitable for weeding, tillage, and pruning to limit growth.
Did you know? In the Middle Ages, under each ruler there was an astrologer who determined the upcoming events by the location of the stars in the sky. Fateful decisions were made by kings only after consultation with a trusted astrologer.
Choosing a location for calculating a calendar
The gardener needs to take into account that the biodynamic (lunar) calendar, compiled for one time zone, can significantly differ from the lunar phases and zodiac signs located at that moment in another time zone of the planet.For example, living in Central Russia, the gardener needs to use the lunar calendar, compiled according to Moscow time. Such a biodynamic calendar is not suitable for a resident of Vladivostok, since the time difference between Vladivostok and Moscow is about 7 hours.

When to plant and transplant plants
To figure out when to plant and transplant plants, following the instructions of the lunar calendar, is quite simple. Elevated crops (lettuce, peas, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, etc.) land during the period when the moon grows, that is, from the new moon to the full moon. Underground crops (peanuts, beets, radishes, carrots, potatoes, etc.) land when the moon decreases, that is, from the full moon to the new moon.
Lunar sowing calendar on:
The effect of the moon phase on planting
For planting, days are suitable when the lunar disk grows and is in a fertile sign. For the destruction of weeds, plowing and harvesting, the time is right when the moon is reduced and is in a barren sign. Also, you can not plant on days falling on the junction of the phases of the moon, that is, on the days of the new moon, full moon or at the junction of any of the quarters.
New moon
This is the time suitable for the prophylaxis or treatment of the garden for vegetable diseases. This is a good time to kill weeds or to eradicate uncontrolled tree growth.
Did you know? The cyclical approach and distance of the moon from the Earth cause strong tides in the rivers, seas and oceans.
Events should be carried out one day before or one day after the new moon. On the new moon, they do not sow seeds and do not plant seedlings, do not carry out work in which roots can be damaged, for example, digging up tree-trunk circles under trees.
Growing
When the Moon arrives (1st and 2nd quarter), they sow seeds and plant seedlings of leafy vegetables and garden seedlings. This is the right time to prepare seedlings for rooting in a new place, to vaccinate cuttings for donor trees and to work with the soil (top dressing and irrigation).
On the growing moon, plants are not too sensitive to damage. If during this period the gardener or gardener has to trim the plants, it should not be intense so as not to cause excessive leakage of vegetable juice.
Important! The period of the growing moon is good for collecting herbs and spices, at this time they acquire the most intense aroma, their medicinal properties become much more effective.
The first and second quarters on the growing moon are the best time to collect fruits and vegetables for food. During this period of time, they have the greatest nutritional value and bright taste.
Full moon
When the Moon is full, vegetables are sown at this time: Brussels sprouts and white cabbage, onions, carrots and radishes. This period is good for planting potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables. Also, the full moon is most suitable for fertilizing plants and performing such tasks as weeding, weed and pest control, digging, thinning seedlings on beds. It is undesirable at this time to cut trees and shrubs, to vaccinate, to carry out the formation and pruning.
Waning
When the moon is waning (3rd and 4th quarters) - the best time to plant, transplant and cut trees. Plants recover faster after injuries and adapt to a new place, and trimmed plants lose less juice. At a time when the moon is waning, the aerial part of the plant reacts weaker to damage.
Important! Cut flowers during the waning moon will remain fresh and elastic longer.
During the third and fourth lunar quarters, it is recommended to plant onion vegetables and flowers, plant seedlings of trees and bushes, fight weeds, and treat the garden and vegetable garden from diseases and pests. This is a good time to pick fruits and vegetables for long-term storage.
Gardener and gardener lunar calendar navigation
When the lunar calendar indicates that a specific date is under one of the barren zodiac signs, gardeners and gardeners should not plant plants, because after planting at this time, various negative factors, combined with a lack of water, will lead to a weakening of their development and growth.
Experienced gardeners also advise during the reign of the fire signs of the zodiac to remove weeds, clean plants from damaged or diseased fragments, collect fruits and seeds, and dig the soil. In the phase of the cycle of air signs of the zodiac, the best work in the garden will be the formation and cutting of bushes and trees, as well as aeration and loosening of the soil.
Lunar sowing calendar of the gardener for the fall season:
During the reign of the fertile signs of the zodiac, according to the lunar calendar, you can plant plants and sow seeds, from which crop plants are likely to grow. But fertile signs are not a good time to harvest, especially green crops.The lunar calendar will help the practicing gardener and gardener better navigate in time and schedule the day most suitable for planting trees or seedlings.
