The sultry summer is already far behind - the second autumn month. October is a traditionally cool month for the southern regions of our vast Motherland and the period of establishment negative values temperatures for the part that stretches from the Urals to the North of Russia. The moon still has an influence on any processes occurring on the Earth.

If you still have the opportunity to visit your site and you are really interested in the favorable days of the Lunar sowing calendar, then we invite you to get acquainted with the data for October. For all gardeners and gardeners, there is only one recommendation - if you go to the country and even decide to spend the night, then take warm clothes with you for these occasions. Dacha is good, but health must always be protected.

What does the lunar calendar advise gardeners to do in the country during this period?

Days of the lunar calendar favorable for gardening:

• The 3rd and 4th days of the month are the days of the growing Moon in Scorpio - the day is suitable for planting plants and sowing in general. Given the time of year - it's time to sow bald spots in the lawn.
• From 4 to 7 days are favorable days for transplanting shrubs and fruit trees. If the street thermometer is still reddening 15 degrees above zero, then gardeners can do it. Lunar time favors this.
• The 8th and 9th of October are celebrated as favorable for planting bulbous flowers. Given that the 9th is Sunday, we would recommend everyone to have time to sow on the 8th.
• In the period from October 17 to October 20, the lunar days of the calendar, oddly enough, recommend gardeners to sow 17, 18 - root vegetables, and on other days - planting different cultures, shelter roses and young cuttings.
• From 25 to 27 months, according to the same calendar, are favorable for winter crops annual plants, lawn and root vegetables. If one of the gardeners decides to sow these crops, assume that they will most likely have to be covered in order to ripen. Also, this lunar period is good for removing and uprooting weeds, and is completely unsuitable for picking and preserving berries and fruits. The moon at this moment is in an earth sign, which increases the risk of rotting and damage to stocks.
• From October 28 to October 31, favorable days for sowing. Given that the nights are already quite cool, we recommend that you limit yourself to sowing the bald spots of your lawn. And it is better to use covering material to preserve seedlings - so the result will be better.

Unfavorable in October lunar days it makes sense to designate the sowing calendar as “days of harvesting for the winter and preparation for the next season”, because the time for active sowing and watering - top dressing has already ended.

So, the Moon favors harvesting for the winter and preparing plants for the next season these days:

• The 1st and 2nd days of the month are considered unfavorable for the sowing season. One of them falls on the New Moon, and the other also falls on Sunday. My aunt always said that on Sunday “…no planting transplants and even less sowing! The earth and man must rest on this day.” Frankly, I did not always follow this advice, but I concluded that in vain. Not only lunar tips one must listen, but also the words of experienced people in gardening. On this day, it is useful to engage in weeding, thinning and the fight against pests and pathogens. The best thing to do is rest and plan.
• The period from 5th to 7th is favorable for harvesting fruits for storage. The lunar calendar, along with the growing moon in Sagittarius, promise to keep the fruits all winter.
• From the 12th to the 16th day of the month, the Lunar sowing calendar recommends gardeners and gardeners to come to grips with protecting fruits and plantings from rodents (they have already felt the approach of cold weather and are looking for places convenient for wintering - be careful that your cellar does not turn out to be them).
• October 16 to Lunar calendar- Full moon. The day is favorable for harvesting, canning and freezing fruits. So if you're not very experienced gardener- gardener, seek help from friends or mothers who are ready to make an effort, the lunar influence favors.

We remind you that the Full Moon period is the most favorable for top dressing in the garden.

From ordinary fruit trees columnar are distinguished by a compact crown, low height, and the absence of lateral branching.

My first acquaintance with hydrogel took place a very long time ago. Back in the nineties, my husband brought funny multi-colored balls from Japan, which greatly increased in size if they were filled with water.

But I recently returned to the use of hydrogel. I will share my experience in this article.

Watermelon and summer are inseparable concepts. However, not in every area you will find melons. And all because this African plant takes up a lot of space, is quite demanding on both heat and the sun, and also on competent watering.

It turns out that you can find an approach to such a capricious plant, and if you want, you can get a decent harvest.
