The influence of a lunar day
Day 24 is not inferior in its activity to the previous one. The forces of the earth wake up at this time, and the soil is replenished with mineral substances by itself. The main forces are still collected in the roots, so it is better to deal with the processing of the tops of the plants.
Now the landing time does not matter: it can be done whenever you want. You can do the rooting of cuttings, transplanting plants to a permanent place, and also intensively prepare the soil for planting flora.
Will give a beneficial effect and the introduction of root dressings. But beware of injuring the delicate root system of horticultural crops. She is still not ready for outside influence.
Positive impact of the day
- The day is good for sowing crops, regardless of the species;
- If you have not cleaned the garden for a long time, pay attention to collecting foliage, removing weeds;
- Moderate watering is not prohibited, but do not overdo it with water;
- Allowed to perform soil enrichment and fertilization according to the schedule;
- Pay attention exclusively to the aboveground part of the plants.
Negative impact of the day

Influence of the day of the week
Since ancient times, the last day of the week has been associated with positivity and joy. After all, the sun is the patron saint of Sunday, which means that the day is charged with positive energy, which is best used for rest and entertainment. That is why, it is better to postpone hard, dirty work to the next week.
Experienced gardeners recommend limiting yourself to watering plants and fertilizing. It is this stage of work that will fill the plants with strength and charge them with solar energy for further growth and development.
Also on this day you can do aesthetic activities. The creation of flower beds and living fences can be quite successful. Such work will be enjoyable and positive, and the result will exceed expectations.
Digging or plowing work should definitely be postponed.This dirty job is not for Sunday. Better to plan all stages of work on weekdays. It is not yet recommended to engage in thinning beds, removing weeds, cutting or uprooting shrubs.
If there are seasonal fruits and vegetables that need to be harvested, you should limit yourself to the amount that the family can consume that day. It is better to transfer harvesting for the winter and collecting seeds to Monday.
Sunday does not imply parasitism. This day of the week is special and offers the following possibilities:
- Preparation and scheduling of work on weekdays;
- Carrying out aesthetic and decorative work in the garden, flower bed or vegetable garden. These are those that bring positiveness;
- Basic plant care work that requires minimal labor costs;
- Collection of fruits and vegetables for food.
And in order not to disrupt the positive energy of the day, it is worth warning the execution of the following work:
- Do not take on hard and dirty work;
- Planting, thinning, tearing weeds, breaking branches, uprooting shrubs is prohibited;
- It is better to postpone the collection of gifts for blanks to other days.
No wonder it is said that Sunday is a day of rest and joy. The very energy of this day adjusts to calmness. And if you follow the above rules, you can gain strength and positive energy for a whole week.
Moon phase influence
The third quarter of the lunar cycle is the ideal time for planting. During this period, the root part of the plants absorbs all the strength, so planting trees, shrubs and flowers will be very successful. The harvested harvest of fruits will have excellent taste and abundance.
When planting or replanting, it is important to pay careful attention to the root of the plants. When planted during this period, the plantings will have a not too developed ground part, but a very strong root system.
It is not recommended to carry out such work:
- loosening the soil;
- digging the soil;
- hilling;
- abundant hydration;
- harvesting ground fruits and greens;
- planting and diving seedlings.
Any action that can cause damage to the root system should not be carried out. Otherwise, it is fraught with stopping the growth and development of the plant or its death.
The following actions are recommended:
- removal and pruning of excess or defective branches and shoots, antennae;
- harvesting old plants, removing old foliage;
- weeding;
- spraying foliage, branches to protect against pests and diseases;
- fertilizing the root part;
- fertilizing the soil;
- sowing or planting root crops and bulbous plants;
- grafting of tree crops and shrubs;
- harvesting of roots and bulbs.
The harvested roots and bulbs at this time will be as juicy as possible, since all the strength is concentrated in the root part. All work that is carried out during this period should be directed to the ground part of the plants so as not to damage the roots. The harvested fruits have excellent long-term storage properties, they are also suitable for canning, pickling, pickling for the winter.
The influence of the zodiac sign
Gemini is a sign of Air. Its main qualities are dryness and low yield. Therefore, this period is not suitable for sowing seeds or planting seedlings. Growing up, such plants develop the root system as much as possible, but to the detriment of all other parts. As a result, they have a very weak stem that needs support. In the future, the taste of the crop also suffers, and the aroma, if there is, is very weak.
Because of all of the above, it is highly undesirable to plant or transplant plants in this lunar phase. Carefully caring for weakened specimens will take a lot of effort, but will not live up to expectations. When the Moon is in Gemini, watering should be avoided. Despite this, a number of gardening works during this period can and should be performed.
What to do during the growing phase
Planting or transplanting ornamental shrubs, flower seedlings, as well as sowing flower seeds will go well. Climbing plants can also be planted. It is recommended to transplant strawberries, strawberries (propagated by a mustache). This is the right time for collecting medicinal herbs, mowing.
What to do in the waning phase
This is a very good time for loosening the soil, applying mulch, hilling potatoes, weeding, removing weeds and weak ovaries. You can do the formation of the crown of trees and shrubs, pruning shoots. Digging of carrots, beets and other root crops is carried out. The roots of medicinal plants are extracted, ripe fruits are harvested.
