When to harvest onions in August 2020 (lunar calendar). 2 dangerous days and as many as 15 favorable ones, we will meet!

Flaming fireworks, comrades onions!

Many summer residents, and not only the venerable generation, listen to the advice of the lunar calendar in the affairs of gardeners. Therefore, for my readers, I decided to analyze in detail his recommendations for August on harvesting onions. After reading the article, you will find out:

• on which days it is better not to approach the garden at all;
• when, in principle, it is possible, but better not;
• the most favorable days, judging by the lunar calendar, for harvesting onions in August 2020.

And I will even reveal the secret of how to calculate such days on my own.

The time when it is better to take a break from summer cottages

In the lunar world of August, echoing the world of the beds, there are 2 days when a mess sets in. These are New Moon and Full Moon.

Astrologers say that on such days it is better not to do anything more serious than washing dishes. Otherwise, something good will not work out of such an undertaking. And in our coming August there are similar days 2: 3 and 19.

I think these are not the best dates for such a responsible event as onion harvesting.

Unfavorable days: they threaten with a tasteless harvest

To understand how the recommendations of the Lunar calendar regarding harvesting are developed, it is worth remembering one simple rule. On the growing moon, plant juices tend upward, into a feather. And on decreasing, respectively, down to the turnip.

A summer resident digging onions for the Young Month runs the risk of getting a not as tasty harvest as we would like. After all, all the juice will remain in vershoks. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid:

• The very beginning of the month before the Full Moon is August 1 and 2. It's okay, because very soon the favorable days of August await us.
• The end of the month after the New Moon is from 19 to 31 August. If the weather forecast allows and the onions are not yet asking to go outside, as in regions with cold summers, it is better to postpone harvesting until early September.

But I consider it my duty to warn you: if there are rains ahead, rains and more rains, it is better to hurry. Otherwise, fresh onions can start to rot right in your garden.

Cherry on the cake: favorable days for harvesting onions

If you carefully read the previous paragraph, you should guess: the most delicious and juicy onion, according to the assurances of astrologers, is the one that is removed on the Waning Moon. At this time, the "vitality" of the plant is concentrated in the turnip. And these days are from 4 to 18 August. Inclusive!
