May is the most favorable time for planting most plants. In central Russia, at the beginning of the month, cold-resistant crops are planted in open ground: carrots, turnips, radishes, spring garlic. In the middle of the month, onion sets are planted, at the end - strawberries, beans, beets, potatoes. Grow seedlings cucurbits. By weather conditions seedlings are planted in May various kinds cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, celery, leeks, spicy and medicinal plants.

On a note: Abundant watering helps plants survive the spring night frosts that still occur in May - moist soil brings heat to the surface from its deeper uncooled layers, and moisture-saturated air cools more slowly - excess steam condenses and releases heat. Due to irrigation, it is possible to increase the temperature in the surface air layer by 2-3 degrees.

ATTENTION! Our gardener's lunar calendar is maintained by Moscow time. (The calendar can be used throughout Russia, taking into account the difference between Moscow and local time * )
