This day of the week is perfect for absolutely any work, both in the garden and in the garden. Plus, the timing is perfect for making plans for the future.

Take up work on the improvement of the garden and the site: collect and burn the fallen leaves. Free the soil from weeds, they take away nutrients from beneficial plants.
Top dressing carried out on this day will nourish the soil with useful substances. However, try not to overdo it. Excessive use of organic matter can damage the root system of plants, organic additives can simply burn the roots.

Moon phase influence
The young Moon, with its powerful energy, affects all living things, including the world of plants. On the indicated days of the lunar cycle, terrestrial representatives of the flora grow, bloom and bear fruit, since the nutrients and liquid contained in them are directed upward.
On the growing moon, plants should be planted in which the part located above the ground and what ripens on it is used for food. It's time to sow flowering and medicinal plants and herbs.
According to the lunar sowing calendar, this period should be devoted to gardening work: planting, pruning, grafting shrubs and fruit trees. Such actions on the growing moon stimulate rapid growth, flowering and fruit setting on plants.
The soil will respond favorably to work aimed at increasing its fertility. While the night star is in the first phase, farmers plow their land plots, apply fertilizers and water. The night star during the period of its activity makes the plants drink a lot of liquid from the soil.
Cuttings planted at this time will quickly take root, transplanting seedlings and removing unnecessary roots will normally take place. On the growing moon, the root system does not respond to minor damage. At the same time, there is a danger of roots dying off, so you need to treat them especially carefully.
Fruits and greens collected under the influence of the growing moon are characterized by nutritional value and juiciness, but are not suitable for long-term storage. A large amount of juice and nutrients leads to rapid spoilage. Berries, fruits, greens are recommended to be processed into compotes, wine, juices, canned and dried. Vegetables pickled and pickled at this time are delicious.
The energy of the growing moon has a beneficial effect on:
- planting plants with an edible ground part;
- measures that improve the quality of the soil are weeding, digging, fertilization;
- pruning of branches of trees and shrubs, grafting of plants;
- collection of ripe fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs and medicinal herbs for subsequent salting and drying;
- preparation of vegetables and herbs (conservation, salting, starter culture, drying).
Young Moon negatively affects:
- work with the root system - the death of the plant is possible due to damage to the roots;
- harvesting for the winter.
Influence of the zodiac sign
The period when the Moon is in Aries is regarded by knowledgeable gardeners as a time of drought and a halt in plant growth. Aries is a sign related to the element of fire, therefore it symbolizes a hot period in nature.
At this time it is not worth it:
- Plant seedlings in the ground;
- Sow seeds;
- Root seedlings;
- Transplant plants;
- Excessively moisten the soil.
This time is dangerous due to dryness, so you should not carry out planting and transplant operations. Any manipulations with the soil should be postponed. The soil is dry and needs high-quality makeup. It is unlikely that gardeners will be able to sufficiently moisturize the soil on this day.
Seeds planted in the ground will not sprout, they will simply "suffocate" in the soil. It is not worth planting seedlings in the ground on this day, as it risks drying out and burning in the sun. She will not have enough strength to grow.
Even large and strong plants are not recommended to be replanted, because it will not be easy for them to adapt in dried soil. Soon after transplanting, the plants will begin to lose their vigor.
Harvesting
The time period when the Moon is in Aries is ideal for harvesting. The harvest on this day will be ripe and sweet. It can be canned and processed. The canned crop can be used for a year - it can be stored for a long time.
On this day, you can rid the beds of excess weed. Weeds consume too much nutrients from the soil, so it is best to get rid of them.
This time is good for cutting flowers. Bouquets made from flowers picked that day will last longer than usual.
It is recommended to replenish dried herb supplies. The medicinal herbs collected during this period of time will dry out quickly and for several years they will perfectly keep their healing effect and benefit you during seasonal illnesses.
You can also dry herbs, which are then ideal for seasoning various dishes. On this day, any cut grass will dry out in a matter of hours, which will have a positive effect on its medicinal properties.
