Influence of a lunar day

21 lunar day

21 days is considered universal: you can both harvest and engage in pruning, grafting new shoots to adult plants, cultivating the soil and applying useful dressings to the soil. All nutritious juices are concentrated in the roots of shrubs, trees and small shoots, so care is required only with loosening, excavation of new beds.

The introduction of fertilizers and mineral complexes to increase soil fertility will be especially effective (but remember that the wrong fertilizer can destroy the entire crop or cause an invasion of pests). Organics will also show good results, because now the roots of the plant are especially susceptible to substances that are quickly absorbed.

Now you can start harvesting roots (the day will be especially productive if you grow ginger), collecting fruits that grow in the soil, for example, radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, potatoes and the like. You can also do the collection of medicinal plants (both those that you grow yourself, and forest or wild), which are full of strength and energy on 21 lunar days.

Positive impact of the day

  • All manipulations to correct the aerial part of the plant are allowed;
  • The period is perfect for root feeding of garden flora;
  • Collecting root crops on 21 lunar days will increase their potential benefits;
  • Now is a great time to harvest medicinal plants and herbs.

Negative impact of the day

  • Watering on 21 lunar days will only harm the plant.

Influence of the day of the week

Sunday

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 applying fertilizers. 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

Third quarter

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 root vegetables and bulbs at this time will be as juicy as possible, since all the power 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.

Influence of the zodiac sign

Cancer

The period is favorable for work on the ground. Cancer is considered one of the most fertile signs of the zodiac, but an important detail should be taken into account - if you plant seedlings during his reign, they will develop a magnificent root system, but their stems will not be particularly strong and often cannot withstand the weight of a ripe crop, which will be juicy. but perishable.

The most acceptable activities when the Moon is in Cancer:

  • Sowing and planting crops, the fruits of which are not stored without processing.
  • Soil cultivation - deep loosening, harrowing, top dressing, weed removal.
  • Collection of berries and herbs, which are then salted or dried.
  • Sourdough, juice extraction.

It is necessary to plant only plants that do not need a powerful stem, that is, those that are attached to the supports. The harvest is impressive, but it can also damage the stem, and the fruits will grow too juicy to be preserved for a long time in their natural form. Therefore, they need to be dried, salted, pickled.

The production of juices and nectars will become timely, since the harvested berries and fruits are literally saturated with moisture.

The right time has come for active ground operations. Harrowing, plowing and digging, weeding beds, fertilizing fruit crops would be a good idea.

What is not recommended to do now:

  • Planting tree seedlings, since the moment is not very favorable for the development of a strong trunk.
  • Spraying with insecticides. When the moon is in the constellation of Cancer, it is impossible to use chemicals to combat pests, fungal diseases, because plants absorb everything especially actively.

Pay attention to roots and bulbs - they won't stay safe for long. Enumerate if necessary.
