May is a fairly warm month and is a good time to plan landing days for the garden. Before transporting seedlings to the site, do not water them for 2-3 days. Then she will endure the move more easily, as she will be less fragile. Water when transporting. If the seedlings have pale greens, you need to feed them with a solution of calcium nitrate (1 tsp per 3 liters of water).
Peppers may lack potassium if the leaves curl upward; then feed them with potassium nitrate (1 tsp per 3 liters of water) or spray them with Uniflor-bud solution (1 tsp per 5 liters of water). Healthy peppers have young leaves that are lighter than others. Aphids may also appear on peppers if there are flowers growing in the room. In this case, treat the seedlings with Healthy Garden.
In May, cucumbers are planted in open ground and in greenhouses. In the first half of the month, nightshade crops cannot be fed with nitrogen in any form - remember this.

Yegory and Yuri are names whose difference our ancestors did not recognize. In Rus', two Egories were celebrated: one cold - on December 9, and the other hungry - on May 6. And indeed, at this time the belts had to be tightened. Winter supplies were running out, and in early spring there was nothing to replenish them with. But since Yegoriy was considered the patron saint of livestock, the first pasture of livestock in the field, on the spring grass, was timed to coincide with this day. It was perceived as a great holiday and was decorated with various rituals, sentences and songs.
First, according to the old custom, on May 6 they made “juiced milk” to find out if the cattle were healthy. To do this, they swept hemp and flax-seed, mixed, pounded in a mortar and diluted with water. Animals that drank this “milk” were considered sick and were not taken into the general herd. The rest, hungry during the winter, but quite healthy, were herded by the shepherd boys from all the yards into a huge herd and went with it to the pasture. The whole village saw them off, and the cattle were lashed with willow left from palm week, and shouted: “Willow from across the sea, give me health, willow!” Willow, whip - hit until you cry! Take a twig and drive out the cattle!”
On May 6, the pasture took place, as a rule, at dawn. After all, Yuriev’s dew, according to knowledgeable people, helped animals become surprisingly fat and healthy. In some regions of Russia, a green branch was tied to the tail of the first cow in the herd: sweeping away the night dew from the grass, it seemed to provide a rich milk yield for those following her.
According to an ancient custom, the shepherds were doused with well water, “so that they would not sleep all summer,” and then they were treated to worldly scrambled eggs. In the evenings in the villages, a real holiday was organized for the “cow guides”: tables were set, round dances were performed, ritual songs were sung, which always ended with choruses about the preservation of the herds.
But no matter how important the first drive of cattle to pasture is, most of the signs associated with May 6 are still addressed to the upcoming summer and the future harvest: “If spring Egor is with food, then autumn Nikola (December 19) will be with a bridge,” then if winter sets in, there will be a good sleigh ride; “If on Yegory’s day there is a leaf in half, on Ilya’s day put the bread in a tub,” “Sow seedlings on Yegory, there will be plenty of cabbage soup,” “On Yury, snow means a harvest for buckwheat, on Yury, rain means there’s a shortage of buckwheat,” “On Yury, dew - there will be good millet.”
However, Yuriev’s dew was also valued for other qualities. Previously, for example, on Yegoryev Day, peasants went out into the sown fields to serve a prayer service with the blessing of water, sprinkling the fields with holy water. After this, men and women rolled around the field to become strong and healthy, like “St. George’s Dew”: “St. George’s Dew - from the evil eye, from seven ailments.”
And another interesting legend is associated in the folk calendar with St. George’s Day. In time immemorial, peasants began to carry out trade transactions and, according to the old custom, were hired as workers “from spring Yuri to Semyon Day or Pokrov.” Why, you ask, was this particular time period chosen? But the fact is that there was a legend among the people that there are people in Lukomorye who die on December 9, and come to life on May 6. Before death, they take their goods to a certain place, where in winter their neighbors could take them for a certain price and without any deception. They settled accounts with deceivers and unscrupulous buyers in the spring, dealing with them mercilessly. These were called amazing people trading people, but no one knows how they kept accurate records of purchases.
On this day, there was a widespread tradition of organizing festivities in the streets. They said that spring comes on this day. It was May 6th that was considered the day when the shepherds finally drove the flock of sheep into the field. They said that the morning dew has healing power specifically on Yegoria. If you collect it, you can use the healing moisture to treat diseases and remove the evil eye. However, such dew can only be collected before sunrise.
On this day, they were waiting for the arrival of swallows, because they were returning from warm regions at exactly this time. Also on this day appeared May beetles.
IN Orthodox Church On May 6, the memory of Saint Yegori was revered and he was considered the patron saint of the fields. That is why on this day we held a large number of rituals for a good harvest in the future. The priests also blessed the fields with water and said a prayer. They said: “Sow the seedlings on Yegoriy - there will be plenty of vegetables.”
Pasturing cattle on May 6 was a big holiday for peasants. The animals were urged on with willow branches, which were specially prepared for this purpose in Palm Sunday. They also placed a table in the field and an icon on it. After this, a prayer service was performed. It was customary to feed the shepherds scrambled eggs, gift them with linen and money so that they would not sleep and protect the flock.
Yegory is also known as St. George the Victorious. He was considered the patron saint of fields and earthly fruits, and therefore the tradition of consecrating fields was widespread. It was believed that George protected livestock, and peasants tried to pray to the saint on May 6th to ask him to protect horses, cows, and sheep from disease and pestilence. There was even a special prayer called cattle herding.
People said that the care of the livestock should be entrusted to Yegory, who entered into an agreement with the goblin, and the latter would not touch the domestic animals. But there were special conditions this agreement - for example, it was necessary to bring milk to the devil. There was also a widespread tradition, according to which the shepherd would pronounce a special spell and throw a padlock, locked with a key, into the forest. The goblin needed to lift this lock and unlock it or leave it the same - this is how he confirmed or denied the extension of the contract.
Saint George was often perceived as the master of all forest animals. They believed that it was George who rode around the villages on a white horse and gave orders to the forest animals. In addition, George was considered the patron saint of brides, and the girls prayed to him to send good grooms. There were round dances, but gatherings were no longer held at that time. In some villages they could perform rituals related to horses and notice signs. The horses were washed, bathed, and fed with special cookies in the shape of a cross, baked for Epiphany.

A few words about the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day of the year.
About the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day of the year
The daily lunar calendar of sowing and planting contains a list of work for every day in the garden, flower garden and vegetable garden. The lunar calendar was compiled for those who are passionate about gardening, floriculture, and vegetable gardening. In the calendar, the days for sowing and planting various crops are recommended based on the lunar phases and the Moon’s passage through the zodiac constellation, as well as agricultural dates.
The lunar calendar gives recommendations on what seeds are favorable to sow, what plants to plant, how best to care for plants under the influence of the Moon. Fertile zodiac signs Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio favor sowing, planting, and a bountiful harvest. In the days of low-fertility signs Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, you can sow and plant individual species plants, mainly ornamental. Under a favorable zodiac sign, root crops are planted and sown on the waning Moon, and other vegetable crops, berries, fruits, and ornamental plants are planted and sown on the waxing Moon. During the full moon and new moon, the lunar calendar does not recommend sowing and planting; on these days they fight against plant diseases and pests.
Also in the lunar calendar for each day the necessary daily work in the garden and vegetable garden is listed, the results of which are not influenced by the Moon; these works are determined by the agricultural conditions of the given area and the weather. In the lunar sowing calendar, for these works we recommend days free from sowing and planting work.
The lunar calendar shows the dates for sowing and planting many plants. These are fruit and ornamental trees, berries and ornamental shrubs, annual and perennial floral and berry crops. Our lunar calendar tells us about the favorable dates for sowing and planting almost all vegetable crops bred in Middle lane, With in different ways cultivation: planting, forcing, sowing, through seedlings, including in a greenhouse, on a windowsill and in open ground.
The lunar sowing and planting calendar for each day contains astronomical information indicating the exact time of the Moon's entry into each zodiac sign, the hours of the full moon and new moon are indicated, the time of moonrise and sunset, the time of sunrise and sunset and the length of daylight are given. If the Moon enters a certain zodiac sign during the day, then in the lunar calendar, in the sowing and planting recommendations column, a note is given before the specified hour to sow, plant and care for plants according to the recommendations of the previous day of the lunar calendar.
In addition, the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day is given folk signs according to the Moon and signs for the harvest from the folk agricultural calendar.
Astronomical information about the Sun in our calendar
If you observe the position of the Sun for a long enough time, for example, throughout the year, you will notice that its height above the horizon on different days will be different - the highest on June 21-22, and the lowest on December 21-22. IN different years these events fall on different days. These days are called the summer and winter solstices. Twice a year, on March 20-21 and September 22-23, the Sun rises exactly at the east point and sets exactly at the west point. On these days it is below and above the horizon for the same amount of time (that is, day is equal to night), and therefore they are called the days of the spring and autumn equinox. Between March 21 and September 22, the Sun rises north of the east point and, conversely, between September 23 and March 21 south of it.
Traditionally, March 21, June 22, September 23 and December 22 are considered the beginning of the seasons in the northern hemisphere of the Earth: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
We publish information on which days the listed astronomical events fall this year in the daily lunar calendar, which is given above.
How to grow plants in the rhythm of the lunar phases
The topic itself is interesting about the influence on the growth and development of plants of the position of the planets in the zodiac circle, in particular the closest companion of our planet - the Moon, about the interaction of the phases of the Moon and the growth, development of plants, the activity of microbiological processes in the soil.
The influence of the Moon on earthly affairs has been known since ancient times. It is with this planet that the tidal phenomena of ocean and sea waters, as well as fluctuations in electromagnetic fields that affect the weather, are associated. It is believed that on a full moon, the above-ground parts of plants are filled with juice to a greater extent, and on a new moon, it seems to tend to flow back to the roots. In the first case, there is a stronger hydration of the tissues, in the second - some dryness. From here comes research into the influence of the moon on plants, and based on the knowledge gained, a lunar calendar is compiled for each day of the current year.
Plants are influenced not only by the phases of the moon, but also by its position in the zodiac signs. It is better to plant when our companion is in the constellations of Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. Fight weeds when she is in the signs of Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius. The presence of the Moon in the constellation Aries is conducive to collecting fruits - they are better stored. Moving to the constellation Libra is favorable for watering and grafting, to the constellation Leo - for mowing and weeding, Sagittarius - for digging up root crops, Aquarius - for exterminating pests.
If you believe the experience of astrological observations, then the zodiac signs are divided into productive (fertile): Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, and unproductive (infertile): Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius. Planting and sowing of fruit and ornamental plants according to the lunar calendar is best done when the Moon is in a productive zodiac sign.
How the lunar calendar of sowing and planting is compiled for each day
From a practical perspective, the recommendations of the lunar calendar will be valid if they correspond to the local calendar dates for sowing and planting crops. Due to dissimilarity climatic conditions, landscape, soil in different areas, it is impossible to develop a single lunar calendar. If we calculate the timing of sowing crops in another specific area, we will get significant differences. In one case it will be late, in the other it will be too early (compare the south of Russia and the Urals). Agricultural work, as well as care and cleaning work, are also related to the length of daylight hours.
Local folk calendar, traditional experience, accumulated knowledge - main support in the practical activities of a gardener, florist and gardener. For neighboring regions, any lunar calendar needs amendments regarding the deadlines for sowing and planting, taking into account the conditions of a particular area. Data on the exact time of the Moon's entry into zodiac constellation can be obtained from a number (tear-off calendar) for gardeners and gardeners or an astrological calendar.
The weather also does not vary from year to year - there are early and late springs, which is also taken into account when compiling the lunar calendar.
The timing of the moon phases does not coincide from year to year. In almost a month, the Moon passes through 12 constellations, called the signs of the Zodiac. On next year the lunar calendar shifts by 10 days. The timing of the moon phases repeats itself every 19 years. Every year, amendments are made to the daily sowing and planting calendar for the specific shape of the season and for the lunar phase.
The hottest time has come for gardeners and summer residents. It's time to transport country cottage area seedlings and plant them in greenhouses, and somewhere in open ground. Sow carrots, plant potatoes, flowers, in general, all garden and vegetable crops.
The gardener's lunar calendar will help you plan garden work so that sowing, planting and processing plants lead to abundant harvests. If you do everything looking back at may calendar planting, and of course, observing the agricultural technology of the crops grown, the result will be excellent.

Gardening in May
- It is worth feeding tomato seedlings with phosphorus and potassium, excluding nitrogen. This is usually done with potassium monophosphate, following the instructions. In this case, the plants begin to actively grow root system, and strong roots are the key to a full harvest.
- To ensure that the seedlings take root well and form strong roots, and also adapt to changes in night and day temperatures, immediately after planting, spray them with a zircon solution (4 drops of the drug per 1 liter of water).
- Limit processing orchard strong drugs against pests, so as not to poison pollinating bees. After all, now is the time for fruit blossoms. Use biological products and folk remedies.
- Throughout May, fruit trees can be grafted.
- Check the currant buds for pests. Swollen buds hide bud mites - collect them and burn them.
- Under berry bushes To protect them from the invasion of ants and aphids, lay out rags soaked in kerosene. Just place it on a substrate, not on the soil.
- If you see red swellings on the currant leaves, treat the bushes with phytoverm, this way you will get rid of the gall aphids that have infected the plant.
- Cover the soil under the bushes with mulch, this will help maintain moisture. But under trees, mulch is not needed, since constant moisture in the root zone is one of the reasons for gum development on cherries, cherries, plums, apricots, etc.
- You need to remove the raspberry beetle from raspberries in May. It is simply shaken off the bushes onto a spread film on the soil. And then they destroy it.
- At the end of May, you can feed winter and April sown carrots. Water the plants with a weak organic infusion (0.5 liters of mullein or bird droppings per 2 buckets of water) or add a teaspoon of urea and a tablespoon of potassium magnesium per square meter to the rows.
It is convenient to carry out work in accordance with the calendar, but you need to focus on the weather
Natalya Feoktistova, “Evening Moscow”Of course, you know many gardening techniques. However, we sincerely hope that our work calendar will help you carry out sowing correctly.
April gardener's chores
Yes, winter has frayed our nerves this year. But life is getting better! So, before the end of April you need to have time to plant in a greenhouse or under film - when the earth warms up - salads, broccoli, kohlrabi, Chinese cabbage, zucchini and squash. Planting early zucchini is very easy. First, sprinkle the prepared bed with ash - this will warm it up faster. Then select a deep hole in the garden bed, put humus in it, plant 4 zucchini seeds, sprinkle with soil from the dump and, covering it with film, “pin” it on top so that it does not blow off the wind. In this state, the zucchini will sprout perfectly, and the two weakest plants will need to be pinched and destroyed. Then during the day, let the zucchini “ventilate”, and then cover it at night, even at above-zero temperatures.
In April, the time will come for planting in open ground. Suitable crops for this include peas, carrots, spinach, radishes, turnips, dill, parsley, onion sets and shallots. You can also plant onions on a feather. There is such a method: plant the bulbs by cutting off their tops by a third and holding them in a bucket of water so that they “drink” more.
If you still love home-grown seedlings, sow before May the seeds of cucumbers, early low-growing tomatoes, zucchini - if you like to plant them as seedlings, as well as squash, melons, watermelons, pumpkins, and corn.
Newly purchased bulbous, cold-resistant annuals (cornflowers, calendula, lavatera, nigella) are planted in the flower garden. It is recommended to plant poppy and iberis in a permanent place - preferably under lutrasil. Keep in mind that these flowers do not tolerate transplantation well.
So, in April the most lucky days for boarding – 17 and 21.
