When is it better to dig onions in July-August 2020: says the Lunar calendar (promises juiciness). Writing dates

Fiery fireworks, comrades vegetable growers!

Do you want to harvest a delicious harvest that is stored almost without loss? Agronomic delights are, of course, good. But many summer residents listen not only to scientific tracts, but also to the Lunar calendar. After reading the article to the end, you personally will learn how to determine the maturity of an onion, by what principle astrologers calculate favorable and unfavorable days for harvesting the turnip for storage and, of course, read specific dates.

From the author: It's time, it's time! In my region, because of prolonged rains, gardeners are already gutting the beds, trying to play it safe. It would be a shame if a lovingly grown crop rotted in the ground.

Important note - I can't help but warn

You should not take the advice of the lunar calendar as the ultimate truth. Yet you and I are people of the 21st century, and we know a thing or two about growing onions. There is no point in rushing to dig a turnip if astrologers announced an auspicious week, but the onion has not ripened yet

. Astrologer's advice is a good addition to the conservative way of doing home farming. I think so. And you?

The fact that onions are ready for digging, drying and storage will be indicated by the right signs:

• The onion dug out for testing exudes a characteristic, well-recognized aroma. And the vapors of the juice sting your eyes.
• New feathers have ceased to grow, and the old ones "fall" on the garden bed and gradually dry up.
• The top of the bulb begins to bulge out of the ground. Its scales are dry, moving away from the inside.

Well, I consider it my duty to remind you: it is worth looking not only in the lunar calendar, but also in the weather forecast. The summer resident will greatly facilitate his already difficult summer gardening life by choosing a fine day for harvesting onions. It's great if precipitation is not expected in the coming days: this will help the drying of onions go smoother.

And now - the most important thing. The same lunar calendar. Which did not harm anyone, and so often is scolded by skeptics.

July 2020: when to start harvesting onions

The entire end of July is the waxing moon. At this time, as garden astrologers say, the juices of the plant rise from the roots to the top. Therefore, by starting cleaning now, the summer resident can deprive himself of some of the taste of the turnip.

The verdict is harsh: it is better to wait for the waning moon. And it will come very soon, in August. An exception to the rule will be emergency cleaning: for example, if the onion begins to rot in the ground.

August 2020: when to harvest onions according to the lunar calendar

But August is a real expanse for vegetable growers. Already somewhere, but this month you can definitely find a suitable day.

Strictly worth to avoid August 3 (Full Moon) and 19 (New Moon). These are the days when it is better to do nothing on earth at all. But you can lie in a hammock under the last summer rays of the sun or drink tea with thyme under the sound of rain behind the glass.

And for harvesting onions you can safely take during the period from 4 to 19 August. These are the days when the moon is waning. This means that all the juices of the plant are below, just in the turnip. Seizing the moment?
