May works for gardeners and gardeners- the foundation of the future harvest. Almost all plantings, with the exception of a few crops, are carried out at the end of spring, when all nature comes to life. The lunar calendar will help you choose the best day for sowing, planting seedlings and other work.

Work in May in the vegetable garden, garden and flower garden

In the garden. Ends spring pruning of all fruit trees - dry, damaged and branches growing inside the crown and vertically upward are removed. Seedlings are planted, and this must be done before the first leaves appear, and mature trees are grafted.

Before flowering, the garden is treated from pests, primarily from moths, ants and aphids. At the end of May, hedges are also tidied up - approximately half of the new shoots are cut off.

In the garden. It is necessary to plan the placement of beds on the site. On the northern slopes and in the lowlands, beds are allocated for cabbage, root vegetables and onions. Elevated areas and southern slopes are best left for tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. In this case, you need to take into account the rule of crop rotation: do not plant the same crop in the same place, remember the beneficial neighborhood different plants, suitable predecessors.

warmed up under sun rays the soil must be manured and plowed, beds must be formed, paths must be compacted, and sides and slopes must be strengthened. It is necessary to finish preparing the soil for planting in the first ten days of May.

The soil, ready for planting, is slightly moist, does not stick to the shovel, and the lump easily crumbles into small fractions. If the soil oozes water, sticks and smears, or the lump is too dense, it is not ready yet, and it is too early to plant.

When planting seedlings and sowing seeds, only furrows and holes are watered if necessary. You cannot water the beds from above - a dense, heavy crust can form, which quickly dries out and makes it difficult for seedlings to emerge.

In accordance with the lunar calendar of the work of gardeners, gardeners and flower growers, seedlings of tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini and cucumbers are planted. At the same time, we must not forget about the possibility of late frosts, so it is necessary to provide for the possibility of protection from cold weather, especially at night. When planting, it is necessary to take into account the norms of seed sowing, the recommended distance between plants, sowing density, illumination of the bed, and layering (this is especially true for the organization of the flower bed).

Garden strawberries is present in this section, since it is more convenient for us to view works related to it in the “garden” section of the calendar.

May decorates the forests, summer awaits visitors.

May is the most favorable time for planting most plants. IN middle lane In 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 they plant onion sets, at the end - strawberries, beans, beets, and potatoes. Grow seedlings pumpkin crops. Depending on weather conditions, seedlings of various types of cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, celery, leeks, spicy and medicinal plants are planted in May.

On a note: Abundant watering helps plants survive spring night frosts, which still occur in May - moistened soil brings heat to the surface from its deeper, uncooled layers, and moisture-saturated air cools more slowly - excess steam condenses and releases heat. By watering, you can increase the temperature in the ground layer of air by 2-3 degrees.

The New Moon moves into the productive sign - Taurus. Unfortunately, today three days of the lunar calendar are unlucky for plants. This period is ideal for combating weed grass and numerous pests.

The moon began to grow in Taurus, which means it’s a “hot” time for gardeners. This is the first day when you need to start planting plants in open ground, transplanting seedlings into greenhouses or greenhouses.

May 13 (8th lunar day). The Moon is in Leo, in 1/4 phase. The day is unlucky for gardening chores. The maximum you can do is cleaning leaves, tops and watering.

The moon is growing in the sign of Virgo. Virgo like true woman loves flowers, especially annuals. Flower growers have a large scope of work planned: sowing decorative deciduous and annual flower plants, propagating, dividing and replanting perennials. Gardeners are not recommended to replant seedlings and plant various vegetables. Gardeners should refrain from pruning trees, as this could end disastrously for them.

The waxing Moon moves into the sign of Libra. Flower growers continue to work hard. The time has come to plant tuberous and climbing flowers, roses, and herbs. Gardeners are advised to pay attention to care - weeding, watering, fertilizing.
