IN sowing lunar calendar for May 2016 you will find tips for the month and for every day. With this knowledge, any gardener will be able to reap an excellent harvest!
In early May, it is recommended to feed cabbage planted in April. Early ripening varieties of cabbage should not be overfed with nitrogen, because this leads to a delay in setting heads. It is good to fertilize with potassium; it makes cabbage more resistant to disease.
Tomatoes - reliable protection from asparagus rattle, aphids, sawfly and moth. In this regard, it is recommended to grow them close to asparagus, melons, cabbage.
It is useful to plant several tomato bushes near gooseberries, which often suffer from moth.
Having planted sweet pepper seedlings in open ground, do not forget to pay attention to the leaves of the new shoots, especially during cold weather. If the temperature outside stays below 12 degrees for a long time, the root system of heat-loving crops (and peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes are just like that) stops working, and the plants begin to starve. To maintain the growth point, they take away nutrients from the leaves, they turn yellow and then fall off.
If cold weather lasts more than 5-6 days, you cannot do without feeding the leaves with calcium nitrate (half a tablespoon per bucket of water). In addition, in such weather it is appropriate to spray the plants with ecoberine, novosil (Silkom) or epin-extra: these drugs will help them survive stress.
The radish will taste less pungent and be more juicy and crunchy if the furrow is lightly salted with table salt before sowing, and then the bed is generously watered in the morning and evening. But you shouldn’t do this in hot weather: the water will immediately evaporate through the leaves, without making “weather” inside the root crop.
To guarantee a harvest, onions need to be fed a couple of times during the growing season. At the end of May, 10-15 g are added to the soil. ammonium nitrate on square meter beds or for the same area a bucket of an aqueous solution of slurry (concentration 1:6).
Three weeks after the first feeding, a second feeding is carried out: 10-15 g of ammonium nitrate and potassium salt per square meter of planting.
At the same time, do not forget to water the onions.
Mustard, as a green manure, enriches the soil with phosphorus and sulfur, and partly clears the beds of mole crickets and wireworms. If this crop is sown next to peas, the harvest will be twice as large. And onions grow better after mustard.
It is advisable to harvest rhubarb petioles when they are young. Old ones contain much less vitamins and much more oxalic acid, which, after heat treatment, becomes a prerequisite for the formation of oxalates (kidney stones).
The bow will resist more actively powdery mildew if you water it warm water(not lower than 18 degrees). And when the bird cherry blossoms and wakes up onion fly, the row spacing should be sprinkled with tobacco dust or lime to protect against the pest.
Currants are responsive to fertilizers. Therefore, to ensure good productivity, you need to add 2-4 kg of compost or manure, 20-30 g of urea, 30-50 g of superphosphate, 15-20 g of potassium chloride per square meter annually.
Foliar feeding with microelements is also effective. We remind you that zinc increases resistance to fungal diseases, boron promotes better flowering and fertilization, manganese - increasing yield. Foliar feeding is carried out during the flowering and ovary formation phases, in the evening or in the morning after the dew has dried.

May works for gardeners and gardeners- the foundation of the future harvest. Almost all plantings, with the exception of a few crops, are carried out at the end of spring, when all nature comes to life. The lunar calendar will help you choose the best day for sowing, planting seedlings and other work.
In the garden. Ends spring pruning of all fruit trees - dry, damaged and branches growing inside the crown and vertically upward are removed. Seedlings are planted, and this must be done before the first leaves appear, and mature trees are grafted.
Before flowering, the garden is treated from pests, primarily from moths, ants and aphids. At the end of May, hedges are also tidied up - approximately half of the new shoots are cut off.
In the garden. It is necessary to plan the placement of beds on the site. On the northern slopes and in the lowlands, beds are allocated for cabbage, root vegetables and onions. Elevated areas and southern slopes are best left for tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. In this case, you need to take into account the rule of crop rotation: do not plant the same crop in the same place, remember the beneficial neighborhood different plants, suitable predecessors.
warmed up under sun rays the soil must be manured and plowed, beds must be formed, paths must be compacted, and sides and slopes must be strengthened. It is necessary to finish preparing the soil for planting in the first ten days of May.
The soil, ready for planting, is slightly moist, does not stick to the shovel, and easily crumbles into fine fractions. If the soil oozes water, sticks and smears, or the lump is too dense, it is not ready yet, and it is too early to plant.
When planting seedlings and sowing seeds, only furrows and holes are watered if necessary. You cannot water the beds from above - a dense, heavy crust can form, which quickly dries out and makes it difficult for seedlings to emerge.
In accordance with the lunar calendar of the work of gardeners, gardeners and flower growers, seedlings of tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini and cucumbers are planted. At the same time, we must not forget about the possibility of late frosts, so it is necessary to provide for the possibility of protection from cold weather, especially at night. When planting, it is necessary to take into account the norms of seed sowing, the recommended distance between plants, sowing density, illumination of the bed, and layering (this is especially true for the organization of the flower bed).

| May 25 2019, Sat, Waning Moon in Aquarius, III quarter | |
| 26 of May 2019, Saint, Waning Moon, IV quarter from 19:35, in Pisces from 9:08 | Although Pisces is fertile, it is better not to disturb the plants when the Earth’s satellite changes quarters. |
| May 27 2019, Mon, Waning Moon in Pisces, IV quarter | Leaf days. Pisces is a fertile sign of the Lunar calendar. The plants will have strong roots and stems and will reward you with delicious fruits. You can plan any sowing, planting and transplanting for this day. Plant cabbage seedlings in open ground. Best time for planting drought-resistant ornamental crops - succulents and cacti. Application of various fertilizers. Lawn mowing. |
| May 28 2019, Tue, Waning Moon, IV quarter, in Aries from 21:31 | |
| May 29 2019, Wed, Waning Moon in Aries, IV quarter | Fruit Days. Ideal days for picking vegetables, fruits and berries. The harvested crop when the Moon is in Aries in phase 4 will be perfectly stored. (But I have a hard time remembering that in St. Petersburg, where I have a dacha, the season ripens at the end of May) So this bonus of the Lunar calendar is only for the southern regions.) Aries is not a fertile sign. At your discretion, you can plant only easy-to-use crops that grow well in your soil. There is time to finish cleaning the house and area, prepare a lot of healthy goodies and wait for the grandchildren to arrive at the dacha. |
| May 30 2019, Thu, Waning Moon in Aries, IV quarter | |
| May 31 2019, Fri, Waning Moon, IV quarter, in Taurus from 7:39 | Root Days. Fertile day of the calendar. Planting seedlings in open ground, any planned sowing and planting of vegetables and flowers. Watering and organic fertilizing, weeding, crumbling and mulching of beds and tree-lined circles. |
Gardening is a state of mind. Summer residents spend hours in the garden, standing in uncomfortable positions, blown by winds and baked by the sun. And all this is by no means in pursuit of a super harvest, but out of love for art. And yet, after months of weeding, watering and fertilizing, it is very disappointing to collect a couple of gnarled peppers and half a kilo of potatoes, the size of peas, from the plot.
Experienced gardeners and gardeners know that the harvest depends not only on diligent work on the plot, but also on the lunar cycles. And so that your efforts bring best result, study the gardener’s lunar calendar for May 2016: landing days for various crops, days for hilling and pest control.
The last spring month of this year has surprisingly few favorable days for planting. The harvest depends not only on whether the moon is waxing or waning; in May 2016, even in the waxing phase, there are many zodiac signs unfavorable for gardening: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo and Aquarius. But days in Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are ideal in any lunar phase.
Remember that it is better to plant crops with “ground” fruits on a waxing moon, and root crops on a waning moon.| peanut | 2, 24-26 |

The above sowing calendar is, of course, just recommendations. The most favorable days for planting seeds and seedlings are indicated here, but this in no way prevents you from going out to the site on another day. The main thing is to avoid obviously “barren” dates.
Concerns in the garden are not limited to just sowing and planting seedlings. You constantly need to weed, hill up, prune, and treat for pests. To ensure that your plants are strong and healthy, and the harvest is excellent, take the field work calendar as a cheat sheet.
