Moon phase

During the calendar month, there are several different stages of the night star:

1. The waning moon - the period is favorable for sowing, planting, feeding and pruning plants, as the juices begin to nourish the roots.
2. New Moon - the day before it, as the gardener's and gardener's lunar sowing calendar suggests, in April 2021, you should start pruning plants, destroying weeds and pests, as well as pinching, harvesting root crops and collecting seeds. It is better to postpone watering the plants, since moisture is still almost not absorbed.
3. Growing - has a beneficial effect on the development of plants as a whole, they begin to participate in metabolic processes. Therefore, this is the most appropriate time to plant and transplant plants to a new location.
4. The full moon is suitable for loosening the earth, arranging new beds and hilling. In order not to harm the plants, pruning should be discarded. After this procedure, during the new moon, they may die.

Moon in the zodiac constellations

They are divided into two groups:

• the fertile ones are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces;

Garden work in April

The awakening of nature after a long hibernation occurs in April. If there is snow, it is only in shaded areas and in the lowlands. So, it's time for the owners of land acres to start landscaping the territory.

Experienced gardening tips:

1. If you did not have time to prune fruit trees and bushes in the fall, you can do this in April. But it is important to be in time before the start of sap flow (movement of water and nutrients dissolved in it into growth). This happens in two directions: up the stem and from the roots to the leaves. In the central regions of Russia, this period falls on the second half of April. Weakened and damaged shoots must be removed, and frozen tops are subject to disposal. It is necessary to thin out tree crowns by removing dry, damaged branches.
2. If the weather is warm, you need to remove the covering material.
3. To do a thorough cleaning of the territory. Collect the remaining leaves and other debris, loosen the ground to remove the ice crust formed after the snow has melted.
4. Examine the bushes carefully. Swollen buds indicate damage to the plant by a kidney mite. To prevent the disease from spreading to all plantings, they must be removed by cutting and burned.
5. Trees and shrubs need to be treated with a special protective compound. Spicy aromatic herbs have proven themselves well. It is also necessary to sprinkle the plants with sieved ash. These actions will save plantings from diseases and pests. A good alternative to pesticides is garlic or onions infused in boiling water. If you don't have time to do this, you can buy green soap at the store and spray the trees and shrubs with the solution.
6. To protect plants from sunburn, you need to whitewash the trunks. Slaked lime mixed with clay is suitable for this. An alternative is garden bandages.
7. If there are cracks or holes in the trunks, they must be repaired.
8. In the spring, the plants are depleted and need to be fed with fertilizers (peat or manure) in order to subsequently grow actively.
9. At positive temperatures, you can safely start planting shrubs and trees.
10. April is a favorable period for the reproduction of currants and gooseberries by pinning.

Works performed in April in the vegetable garden

An approximate work plan looks like this:

1. The land in the beds in which vegetables will be planted must be loosened, thereby retaining a greater amount of moisture. After this, taking into account the alternation of crops, plan future plantings.
2. In April, radishes, carrots, radishes, lettuce, peas and other cold-resistant crops can be planted in open ground. Since frosts are still possible at night, it is better to cover the plantings with foil. This will speed up the processes of plant development.
3. Disinfect greenhouses and greenhouses with boron solution, then rinse them and loosen the ground properly.
4. According to the lunar sowing calendar for April 2021, cabbage can be sown in the greenhouse.
5. After loosening, the land must be fed with organic matter.
6. As soon as the snow melts and the earth dries out a little from the strawberry bushes, it is necessary to cut off the dried leaves, lightly sprinkle the planting with ash and spruce needles. To get an early harvest of a fragrant berry, the bushes must be covered with a film fixed on arcs.

April works in the flower garden

Flowerbeds are a decoration of the garden area. Accordingly, it is also necessary to work here:

1. Engage in seedlings of perennials - chrysanthemums, peonies, phlox. All these flowers take root better when dividing.
2. To prevent bulbous crops from dying, they need to be planted when the temperature does not drop below +10 degrees. In colder soil, they may not emerge, and if they hatch, then there is a high probability that they will die.
3. The shelter from the roses is gradually being removed. First, they ventilate for a couple of hours, letting the flowers get used to the new conditions, and then completely free them from the film.
4. Perennials, as well as vegetable crops, need feeding and loosening of the earth. You can also mulch a flower bed.

Summarize

1. The phase of the moon affects the growth and development of landings. The sowing calendar will guide the gardener when and what is best to plant.
2. In the lunar sowing calendar, favorable and unfavorable days are indicated. The information is advisory in nature. The days 11-13 and 26-29 April refer to the critical period. It is imperative that you do nothing on these days of the month.
3. In April, it is necessary to clean up the area. Collect the remaining last year's foliage, free from debris, preparing the beds for planting.
