It is known that when drawing up calendars for summer cottages, the phases of the moon are used, since all life on our planet obeys it. They also take into account that in different regions, the rise and fall of the Earth's satellite is different, as are the time zones. Let's see when to plant leeks for seedlings in 2020 according to the lunar calendar and draw up a table with favorable and unfavorable days.

Leek description

Leeks are mainly cultivated by amateur gardeners. From the moment of planting to harvest, it takes about 180 days, and when transplanting seedlings into open ground, taking into account adaptation, it can take 4 months.

The plant itself grows up to 90 cm, has sharp long leaves, often green.

The bulb itself is elongated, soft, white. It is she who is used for food. But, most often, it is not formed in the first year of planting, although with early sowing with seeds, you can achieve a harvest in the same period.

The seeds can withstand temperatures down to 2-5 degrees below zero, but the seedlings cannot withstand frost.

Flowers of milky or pink shades appear on globular inflorescences. The crop is harvested twice a year: at the beginning of summer and in autumn. To obtain large bulbs, the leaves are constantly cut at a height of 10 cm above the ground.

Onion contains a huge amount of essential oils, macro and microelements, including sulfur, vitamins B and C, which indicates its beneficial properties for the body. Moreover, with long-term storage, the content of ascorbic acid only increases.

Factors Affecting Planting Leeks

In addition to the influence of the lunar calendar, other changes are taking place that provide certain dates for planting seedlings of vegetable crops, including leeks, in various regions. This should be taken into account when it will be necessary to plant onions in 2020.

1. Moon phases.
2. Climatic conditions.
3. Humidity of air and soil. Over or under nutrition.
4. Warming up mail and its structure.
5. Illumination of the garden.
6. The prevailing winds on the site, whether it is closed from them.
7. Properties of the selected variety.

Climatic factors sometimes play a decisive role, since, for example, during prolonged rains, it makes no sense to transplant anything into the soil, the plant can die with intensive watering. We have to postpone landing on the site.

Moon phases in 2020

The lunar cycle consists of 4 phases, each calculated by astrologers. Leek grows best during the waning moon, as shown in the table below.

The table indicates "+" - the time of the waning moon, when underground parts of plants grow well, which include leeks and "-" - aboveground ones.

Landing dates

When to plant leeks for seedlings in 2020 is determined by the lunar calendar.

Propagated by seeds, and planting sevok.

In more northern and harsh regions, planting is started in a greenhouse, then transplanted into open ground, but not before the temperature rises to 15 degrees.

Regions of Russia	Favorable days for early maturing varieties of seeds	Favorable days for mid-season varieties of seeds	Favorable days for late-ripening varieties of seeds	Favorable days for early maturing varieties open ground, transplant	Favorable days for mid-season varieties open ground, transplant	Favorable days for late-ripening varieties open ground, transplant	Notes, descriptions, explanations
Moscow region, some neighboring regions, with a similar climate.	27.02, 6.03, 26.03	26.02, 4.03	5.03	13-14.04, 8.05, 7.06	12.04, 10.05	8-9.05	Sowing with seeds for seedlings is carried out in late February, early March, and planting in open ground after 60-2-2.5 months. To get a good harvest, additional lighting is required for 12 hours.
Leningrad region, Karelia	26 March	9-14.04	9-11.04	10-12.05	7-8.06	7.06	Early ripening varieties can be sown in February, although they will be slightly weaker, planted two to three weeks later. After transplanting to the site, the onion needs about 4 months to ripen, therefore, it must be planted under the covering material.
Ural	13-14.04	9-10.04	11-12.04	8-12.05	12.05, 7.06, 8.06	7.06	The climate of the Urals changes from north to south and with height. Therefore, it is worth understanding to which regions of Russia this area is close.
Siberia	26-27.02	4-6.03	26.03	8-9.05	07-08.06	8.06	From late April to mid-June, you can plant leeks directly in open ground in Siberian climates, but in the first year of planting, it will only grow. And the harvest will give next year.
Rostov region	8, 9, 10.05	11-12.05	10-12.04	14.04, 8-10.05	13.04, 9.05	All auspicious days in May.	The Rostov region allows you to grow leeks in summer cottages both in greenhouses and in garden beds.
South of Russia, Krasnodar Territory, Crimea, Caucasus	from 9 to 14	8.05	10.05	-	-	-	In the south, seeds are sown directly into open ground with well-heated soil.

Not only the lunar calendar in 2020 should be observed, but also the daytime of planting leeks for seedlings. The best time for a temperate climate, when planting 12-15 hours, for the southern regions 19-20 hours, since during this period the sun tends to the horizon and the heat subsides. The table above shows only favorable dates.

Unfavorable days for planting leeks

Sometimes some experts and summer residents, after reading various articles about when to plant leeks for seedlings in 2020, determine the planting dates, which make up a certain period, for example, from May 1 to May 15.

This is extremely incorrect, since it is necessary to consider everything in the compartment: the lunar calendar, as well as the eclipses of the Moon and the Sun. The earth needs rest at this time.

What days are not suitable for sprouting leeks:

Lunar and solar eclipses: 22.05, 21.06.

Unfavorable days for other factors: 21.02, 22.02, 19.03, 20.03, 21.03, 15.04, 16.04, 17.04, 13.05, 14.05, 4.06, 6.06, 9.06, 10.06, 11.06, 20.06, 22.06.

New Moon: 23.02, 24.03, 23.04, 22.05, 21.06

Full Moon: 9.02, 9.03, 8.04, 5.05, 5, 06

Magnetic storms: 1-3.06

Please note that unfavorable days can affect not only plants, but also human health. Therefore, give rest not only to the soil, but also to yourself, especially during the days of magnetic storms, eclipses and the New Moon period.

Other actions with plants according to the lunar calendar

The harvest is influenced not only by planting, but also by proper care of vegetables, they can also be performed using the lunar calendar.

1. Watering. It is carried out when the satellite of the Earth is in the Zodiac signs related to water. They are Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces.
2. Fertilizer. Any kind of feeding can be done when the moon is waning.
3. Weed removal. It goes well for six days, in which the New Moon divides this period in half.
4. Collection of fruits. Here again, astrologers help. The laying of the crop for storage or canning is carried out closer to the New Moon. The signs in which the Moon is located have the property of unproductiveness. Among them are Sagittarius, Aries, Capricorn.

Having a lunar calendar at hand, you can always determine the work plan on the site, determine when to plant leeks in 2020, but it is worth making your own adjustments to it, guided by weather conditions and other unfavorable days.

Summarize

1. A good harvest of leeks can be achieved within 6 months from the date of planting.
2. Since the bulb is valued in it, then in the lunar calendar they pay attention to the periods when the satellite of the Earth decreases.
3. The worst landing periods are New Moon and Full Moon.
