In the garden, they begin to prepare warm ridges for sowing cold-resistant vegetables and planting seedlings.

In March 2020, the lunar phases were distributed so that the most favorable days for sowing seedlings of all flower crops (flowers), as well as vegetable crops such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and cabbage fall at the beginning of the month, then at the very end of the month (from 1 to 6 March and from 26 to 31 March) When planning sowing seedlings, pay special attention to this, perhaps part of the sowing should be carried out as early as possible (for example, sowing pepper seeds for seedlings should be carried out with the Moon in the sign of Taurus and the sign of Cancer at the beginning of the month).

Moon movement and plant growth are directly related to each other. The growth activity of vegetables and the future harvest depend on the phases of the moon.

The phases of the moon directly affect the development of the root and aerial parts of plants. Sowing and planting any crops on a favorable day accelerates their growth, development, affects the taste and appearance fruits. The days of the waxing and waning moon are most suitable for this.

With the growing moon

When the moon is in the growing phase, the movement of the juices takes place in the upper part of the vegetable crops. Plants sown, planted and transplanted before the full moon are tall and have a weak root system.

During this period, it is necessary to plant those crops, the fruiting of which occurs on the aboveground part, such as: zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkin, watermelons, eggplants, physalis, melons, peppers, as well as herbs, herbs and flowers.

With the waning moon

Root seeds should be sown during the waning moon. This is best done in the first 10 days after the full moon.

Sap flow in plants during the waning moon is concentrated in the roots. The aboveground part of the plants is weakened during this period. At this time, it is best to plant: beets, onions, carrots, garlic, radishes, turnips, daikon, rutabagas, radishes, potatoes and others.

During the period of the new moon and full moon, any planting, sowing is better not to be carried out, they will not give results.

Root feeding of plants with organic fertilizers, composting is best done during the waning moon. At the same time, the earth will absorb as much as possible all the useful microelements. On the growing moon, plants are fed with mineral fertilizers.

When growing any plants, the signs of the zodiac, in which the moon is located, are important. The most fertile are: Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio. They characterize certain periods that affect plants. These are called Fruit, Flower, Root and Leaf days.

Based on these days, one or another work with plants is carried out.

Plants do not yield a good harvest if planted with the Moon under the infertile constellations of Aquarius and Leo.

The best results are obtained by sowing seeds in the signs of Capricorn, Cancer, Taurus, Scorpio and Pisces.

It is not recommended to soak and germinate seeds during the period when the Moon is in the signs of Aquarius, Virgo, Aries and Sagittarius.

It is necessary to water the plants when the waning and waning Moon passes in the signs: Capricorn, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Pisces and Taurus. Plants these days readily absorb moisture.

Watering is not beneficial when the Moon is in the signs of Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

In March, preparatory work begins for gardeners and gardeners. The future harvest directly depends on the quality of seeds, seedlings and proper agricultural technology.

Based on the lunar calendar, one must not forget about weather conditions and air temperature for work in the garden and vegetable garden. In bad weather, sowing and planting are postponed to the next favorable days.

The health of sown, planted and already growing plants depends on the correct distribution of work.

The beds are being dug and cultivated. Compost is laid. Mineral, organic fertilizing is introduced.

The branches frozen into the dense ice crust are carefully released, otherwise they will break when the snow melts. In severe frosts, tree trunks and bushes are covered with spruce branches for a while.

The ice crust on the beds with perennials is broken to avoid rotting of the roots. To speed up the melting of snow, it is sprinkled with peat, ash.

On trees, areas of dead bark are removed, wounds are healed, trunks are whitened.

On warm days, the garden is treated against overwintered pests and diseases. Soil is regularly trampled around trees, shrubs and seedlings to remove mouse holes.

Some flowers are dug up and propagated by dividing the bush, for example, daffodils, hyacinths, snowdrops, periwinkle, ivy, and others.

Not hard to sow - hard to keep

The apartment is far from the most appropriate place for growing seedlings: there is not enough light, excessively hot and dry air dries the leaves, the roots freeze on cold windowsills and therefore do not work well. Plants have to develop in unfavorable conditions for up to three months - almost as long as they later grow in open ground. Stronger seedlings are obtained by those who sow seeds, waiting for the March sun.

The saddest thing is when the seedlings start to "fall". The reason is the disease. There are no varieties that are resistant to it. It was found that the disease develops in thickened crops with high air and soil humidity, with a lack of ventilation.

Blackleg

Contributes to the development of disease and acidic soil. Often the seedlings are attacked by the black leg shortly after the pick.

Knowing the causes of the disease, you can eliminate them.

Sow healthy seeds in healthy soil

To disinfect the soil in which the seedlings will be grown, it is traditionally recommended to spill it with a hot (70-90 degrees) solution of potassium permanganate (1.5 g per 5 liters of water). But not all experts approve of such disinfection, believing that manganese can adversely affect the balance of plant nutrition.

You can spill the soil 1-2 days before sowing the seeds with one of the biofungicides:

• gamair (1 tablet for 5 liters of water)
• alirin-B (1 tablet per 5 l of water)
• trichocin (3 g per 5 l of water)
• Soak seeds untreated by the manufacturer before sowing for 1-2 hours in a solution of phytosporin-M (according to the instructions).
• With the fungicide Previkur Energy, the soil can be watered not only before sowing, but also two weeks after it, that is, already seedlings (3 ml per 2 l of water).

Good illumination

It is not difficult to sow rather large tomato seeds less often. It is even better if they are sown not in a common seedling container, but in small cassettes with a retractable bottom, so that later, without damaging the root system, they can be transferred into larger cups or cassettes. In addition, in cassettes isolated from each other, the risk of spreading the disease from one plant to another is reduced. A diseased seedling is easy to remove, replace the mixture in the cassette and sow again.

Moderate watering

Not waterlogging the seedlings is not a difficult task. In the seedling containers, there must be drainage holes through which excess water will drain. Sprinkle with warm water in the morning to ventilate the topsoil by evening. To keep the seedlings dry in the root collar zone, sprinkle the soil surface with clean sand or a mixture of sand and wood ash (layer thickness - about 2 cm). And since ash reduces acidity, it is also added to the soil mixture before sowing, if there is a lot of peat soil in it.

Seedlings in cassettes

What if the seedlings are still sick? Remove diseased seedlings immediately. If the plants are already quite large, you can try to root them in water by trimming the stem to a healthy part. When the roots appear, the cuttings are planted in separate cassettes or cups. Even in case of success, it is advisable to put the revived plants separately.

The rest of the seedlings are provided with good lighting, increase ventilation, and reduce watering. The surface of the soil is sprinkled with a mixture of well-washed river sand and wood ash. After 1-2 days, the soil is shed with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate. You can spray the seedlings with plant infusion: the glass container is half filled onion peel, pour in warm water and insist in a warm place for two days.

March is an amazing time for nature. Plants are awakening from winter oblivion, the feathered inhabitants of the gardens are returning to the updated birdhouses, and summer residents enjoy the early and careful flowering of primroses. There are many things to do, but they are all pleasant. The beginning of spring opens the season of hopes and blissful expectations of a rich and healthy harvest as a reward for our work.
