When to dig beets and carrots according to the lunar calendar. The most favorable days of September
Even in ancient Rome, it was known that the moon affects the vegetation cycles of plants, and today this has been partly scientifically confirmed! That is why the Lunar Calendar is not just folk superstitions, but a theory that can be fully trusted, naturally, also without neglecting more rigorous scientific knowledge about garden crops.
Not for the first year I got used to digging up beets and carrots, according to the "schedule" of our satellite.
And I will immediately emphasize that the day of the full moon is considered unfavorable for harvesting root crops intended for storage for the winter, as well as 3 days after it.
The fact is that under the influence of the satellite, active metabolic processes take place in the underground parts of plants. substances and if they are removed during this period, they will not be able to be stored for a long time, they will not even last until the middle winter.
It is curious that in September of this year the situation is aggravated by the fact that the beginning of the Moon's growth coincides with the period of its stay in Pisces.
According to the calendar of agricultural work under the influence of astrology, this makes the dug vegetables taste worse.
Favorable days for harvesting carrots and beets come by the end of the first decade - on the 8th and 9th, the period from September 16 to 21 is also covered.
It is believed that not only these two vegetables, but in general all edible plants growing underground, if remove them in mid-September, they will be tastier and more aromatic, more easily digestible for person.
Also worth noting is September 25 and 26. This year, two auspicious days according to the Lunar Calendar coincided with the old omen that root crops, harvested at the end of the month, can bring good luck to the gardener for the next year - big harvests and protection from rodent pests.
So if there are late varieties of carrots and beets on the site, they can be dealt with last!
In conclusion, I want to add that even if the best day has come according to the Lunar Calendar for harvesting beets and carrots, but the weather is inclement, damp, then work in the garden should be postponed - absolutely in this case, there will be no harvest stored!
It is also useful to know that carrots and beets can be stored together in winter.
Based on personal experience, I can say that sometimes there is nothing wrong with following the Lunar Calendar. After all, it is very possible that his theory can help gardeners at least a little!
