When to plant onion sets: science, folk omens and the lunar calendar. I'm in a hurry to get to the dacha

Flaming fireworks, comrades summer residents!

Do you want to get a big harvest of strong onion sets? Plant on time so you don't rush or be late. The bow will be in the ground exactly in the most favorable period! 😊 After reading the article to the end, you will learn the traditional advice "on science", the recommendations of astrologers for the summer season 2020 and, of course, curious folk wisdom.

In each region, the optimal period is different, and depends on the weather in each specific year. When I read that Russian folk omens say about planting onion sets, I realized: before I followed their advice intuitively... How do you determine the planting time? Looking at the neighbors or the Lunar calendar?

Let's listen to agronomists

Official recommendations of vegetable growing in one voice abstrusely repeat: "Wait until the ground in the garden warms up to 10 ° C. Plus or minus 2 ° C is not critical. " This is the optimal temperature for the sevok to quickly grow roots and start active growth

. Forward to enviable harvests!

On a note: Do not deepen the set too much. After planting along the grooves, I sprinkle the young bulbs with a very thin layer of soil

But here's the bad luck. Although I consider myself a responsible summer resident, the hacienda farm does not have a thermometer suitable for soil studies. I won't shoot from the window! ☺ Fortunately, there are accurate folk signs tested over the years. I was convinced of their veracity from my own experience, so I share without a doubt:

What folk signs say: onion-set arrived

This is not boltology. After all, in nature, everything is interconnected. Plants and animals react to weather changes as well as sensitive weather stations. Take a look around, breathing in the fresh May air (after all, we have been waiting for this feeling for so long in winter, right? 🌿 ).

Three folk omens will unmistakably tell you: "It's time to start planting sevka!":

• Tulips are about to open their buds or have already begun to do so.
• The fragrant bird cherry is already unfolding the leaves, but flowering has not yet come.
• How wonderfully the frogs sang in the nearest pond!

To be honest, I always find myself in unison with tulips, and I did not pay attention to other signs before. I'll go check it out frogs 🐸. And at the same time, you can choose the right date by checking the Lunar calendar: let the Universe help the already tired summer resident, too ...

Lunar calendar for may-2020: when it comes time to plant sevok

Who wants - believes, who does not want - does not believe the recommendations of astrologers. And they, in turn, assure: using the favorable days of the lunar calendar for planting seedlings, the gardener can harvest much more harvest. I do not presume to say that this is true, but why not listen (if possible, of course).

It is curious that all root crops are recommended to be planted on the waning moon. Whereas all "tops" are on the contrary, on the growing. New Moon 🌑 and Full Moon 🌕 are those days that should be avoided in general in any endeavors. So:

In May 2020, the Lunar calendar regarding the planting of onion sets on the beds ordered as follows:

• We don't plant exactly: May 7 (Full Moon) and May 22-23 (New Moon affects).
• We plant, but not preferable: from 23 to 31 May, while the moon is growing. And for most of Russia this time, to put it mildly, is indecently late.
• Auspicious days: Ta-dam! May 8-21.

Hurray, comrades! I collect simple belongings and move to the dacha. Fortunately, they let me go from work. And then I was afraid that I would not be in time.
