When to harvest cabbage according to the Lunar calendar 2020? I name the most dangerous (18) and the most favorable (19) days

Fiery fireworks, comrades vegetable growers!

Looking to harvest delicious, crispy and well-stored cabbage? I suggest paying attention to the recommendations of the lunar calendar. Astrologers say that the satellite of our planet affects not only humans, but also plants. And a simple calculation will help you find the best harvest date.

To begin with, I want to traditionally warn that the veracity of the advice of the Lunar calendar has not been proven. Each gardener decides for himself how to treat the advice of "stargazers". My note is for reference only, not affirmative!

When cabbage ripens: general information

I think it's silly to rely solely on the Lunar calendar. Yesterday I released a detailed publication on how to determine the readiness of cabbage for harvest. So that you do not have to climb back and forth, I will rewrite here the main signs of the ripeness of the head of cabbage:

• lower leaves turn yellow;
• the upper ones, on the contrary, brighten and twist the edges with a "wave";
• the head of cabbage itself is dense to the touch;
• early and medium cabbage varieties are harvested before the end of September, late ones - in October.

Cabbage quality will deteriorate if the thermometer falls below -5 ° C. But the air temperature is around 0 ° C, and even a light frost will remove possible bitterness from the head of cabbage.

So, comrades, first of all, we look at the condition of the white cabbage and the weather forecast. And then on the lunar calendar, which will be discussed further.

Bad days for harvesting cabbage in 2020: better to do something else

And how are you doing with cabbage? Let's share our gardening achievements with each other in the comments below the article. Photos are welcome! I'm terribly interested ☺

The lunar calendar warns: when planning to do at least some significant things in the garden, it is worth strictly avoid New Moon and Full Moon. As for harvesting cabbage, then Moon in the signs of Water can shorten the shelf life because the head of cabbage will become saturated and the risk of rotting increases.

Therefore, the calendar does not advise removing heads of cabbage from the garden:

• In September: from 11 to 13 inclusive, 17, 20 and 21, 29 and 30.
• In October: 2, 9 and 10, from 16 to 18, 22, 26 and 27, 31.

Favorable days for harvesting cabbage

The lunar calendar calls such days all the days of the growing moon. According to the recommendations, at such a time, all nutritious juices, together with minerals and vitamins, are concentrated in the ground part of the plant.

We exclude from the "growing" days those in which the Moon in the signs of Water interferes with long-term storage, and we get:

• In September: 18 and 19, from 22 to 28.
• In October: 1st, from 19 to 21, from 23 to 25, from 28 to 30.

The rest of the days are considered neutral: nothing bad will happen with the cabbage harvested at such a time. If the weather or deadlines are running out, we reap boldly, comrades!
