It is interesting that the tradition of giving each other colored eggs for Easter dates back to the times of Emperor Tiberius, to whom, after the resurrection of the Lord, Mary Magdalene came to preach about Him, to which the emperor told her: “If the egg in your hand turns red, I will believe.” Mary took the egg in her hands with the words: “Christ is Risen!” - and it turned red. Today we paint eggs in memory of a miracle that happened many centuries ago. Onion peels The oldest and most popular method of painting eggs for Easter. When I was a child, my grandmother had cast iron, tightly packed with husks, which produced beautiful dark orange eggs. The intensity of the color directly depends on the amount of onion peel in the solution. You can diversify this coloring by wrapping the eggs in cloth or putting a leaf (parsley, dill, basil) in gauze, then an unusual pattern will appear on the egg. Tips for dyeing eggs: An hour before dyeing, remove the eggs from the refrigerator to allow them to cool. room temperature. In this case, they will not burst during cooking. brilliant appearance You will get colored eggs if you wipe them dry after painting and rub them with vegetable oil. Pour water into a saucepan and add onion skins. The red-brown color can be obtained by taking the peels of eight onions and adding two glasses of water. Based on this, you can calculate the amount of water and husk for a specific case. The water with the husks should be brought to a boil and boiled for 30-40 minutes. Let the broth sit. The broth should be filtered, freed from the husks, and the prepared eggs should be boiled in it for 7-10 minutes. To obtain a more intense color, the eggs can be returned to the broth and left until they acquire the desired shade.

And all this is by no means in pursuit of a super harvest, but out of love for art. And yet, after months of weeding, watering and fertilizing, it is very disappointing to collect a couple of gnarled peppers and half a kilo of potatoes, the size of peas, from the plot.
Experienced gardeners and gardeners know that the harvest depends not only on diligent work on the plot, but also on the lunar cycles. And so that your efforts bring best result, study the gardener’s lunar calendar for May 2016: planting days for different cultures, days for hilling and pest control.

But days in Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are ideal in any lunar phase.
