The moon has a certain impact on the growth and development of all life on the planet. In May, the planting season begins, so every gardener and gardener should have a lunar calendar for 2020 at hand, in which all planting days are spelled out by month.

The influence of the moon

All data of the lunar calendar are based on the phases of the celestial body, which at certain periods have one or another effect on plants. Experts distinguish four phases of the moon (new moon, waxing, full moon, waning), which, replacing each other, as it were, symbolize the change of seasons only on a smaller scale.

For example, the new moon marks the middle of winter, and the first quarter of the growing moon marks the very height of spring. The top of summer is the full moon, and the waning moon is a golden autumn.

As a result, it turns out that each of these phases affects plants in its own way, that is, there are periods of active growth of garden crops, as well as their fruiting and wilting.

Therefore, the correct distribution of agricultural work in accordance with the lunar calendar in the future will provide an excellent harvest, and the plants themselves will grow and develop better. The new moon phase is characterized by the minimization of the moisture absorption process, which means that watering during this period should be limited.

With a full moon, the situation changes radically, and plants, on the contrary, need moisture. With the beginning of the lunar spring (the first quarter of the growing one), sap flow begins upward - from the root system to the crown of the plant.

Therefore, the green mass cut during this period, for example, for making salads, will be the most useful and nutritious. The waning moon, on the contrary, directs the plant juices down to the rhizome, which has a beneficial effect on the growth of root crops.

Moon phases	Date, period
New moon	22nd of May
Growing month	from 1 to 6 and from 23 to 31 May
Full moon	May 7th
Waning month	May 8-21

Based on this information, planting days in May 2020 are calculated, favorable for sowing certain types of garden crops. So, plants that bear fruit above the soil surface are best planted during the growing moon, and the seeds of root crops are laid on a waning one.

According to the lunar calendar, during the full moon and new moon (each of these phases lasts three days), no sowing work is recommended. More information on landing days in May 2020 can be obtained from the table.

Planting days	Culture
6, 7, 10-15, 26-31	Eggplant, zucchini
6, 7, 10, 12, 26-31	Asparagus, cabbage (including cauliflower), sunflower
3, 6, 7, 10, 17, 20, 26-31	Potatoes, parsley root
6, 7, 9, 15, 17, 20, 27-31	Sweet pepper, lettuce, spinach, parsley on greens
6, 7, 9-12, 20, 26-31	Daikon, peas, beans, beans, radishes, beets, radishes
6, 7, 15-17, 20, 26-31	Turnip, corn, rutabaga, celery
6, 7, 15-17, 20, 26-31	Watermelon, melon, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, parsnips (root)
5, 6, 9-12, 15-17, 26-31	Onions, horseradish, garlic
6, 7, 15-17, 20, 26-31	Cilantro, cumin, fennel, dill, mustard

Influence of the zodiac signs

Plants are influenced not only by the phases of the moon, but also by the location of the Earth's satellite relative to a particular sign of the zodiac. This is precisely what many gardeners and truck farmers have difficulties with.

If information about the lunar cycles can be obtained from almost any reference book, not counting the lunar calendar, then in which sign the night star resides can be understood only from special tables.

Elements and signs of the zodiac	What's happening
Water (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer)	Active development of the ground part of the plant, the growth of green mass
Earth (Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus)	Active development of the root system
Fire (Sagittarius, Leo, Aries)	Active growth and development of fruits
Air (Gemini, Aquarius, Libra)	Favorable period for flowering

It is better to plant, sow and pick garden crops during the period when the satellite is in the element of Earth and Water, but at the same time favorable days are taken into account, according to the lunar calendar. At the same time, it is recommended to carry out such work as mulching the soil, hilling and watering plants, making additional fertilizing.

It is better to postpone landing events in May 2020 if the Moon is located in the elements of Fire and Air, except for the signs of Leo and Libra.

But the days favorable for the signs of the Zodiac do not always coincide with the landing periods relative to the phases of the Earth's satellite, which must also be taken into account when planning agrotechnical work. In this case, the events are held at the moment when the night star will be in one sign or another on the last day.

General recommendations

Planting days favorable for planting / sowing various crops in May 2020, as well as the timing of planting seedlings, are also determined relative to the meteorological conditions of individual regions.

The beginning of the month

At the beginning of the last spring month, seeds are sown for the subsequent planting of plants on an open ridge - zucchini, early white cabbage, cucumbers, squash, pumpkin, watermelons, melons and thermophilic flower crops. In the same period, seeds are sown (asters, helihrizum and other flowers) in open ground.

Seedlings of early varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants and peppers are planted in the greenhouse. If the climate of the region allows, in early May greens and vegetables can be planted in open ground - radishes, carrots, cabbage salads, beets, parsley, peas and onions.

From about May 7-8, they begin to sow sunflowers, corn and beans in open ground. You can also plant broccoli, pumpkin, zucchini, watermelon and melon seeds, but only under a film cover. Sowing and planting of plants is carried out taking into account the weather conditions of the region and the recommendations of the lunar calendar.

Middle of the month

At this time, you can already plant leek seedlings. But the soil must be warmed up.

Second half

The second and third decades of the month are suitable for planting seedlings of eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes in a greenhouse. Cold-resistant hybrids of flowers - daisies, Turkish carnations, viola and others - are planted in the ground.

Under the shelter, you can place seedlings of cold-resistant vegetables - leeks, Brussels sprouts and white cabbage, celery root.

From the moment of the establishment of warm weather and only after the threat of night frosts has passed, it is possible to plant seedlings of verbena, carnations and other flower crops on the ridge.

The end of the month

In most regions, this period is already considered warm, therefore it is allowed to plant decorative annual and perennial crops - calendula, nasturtium, godetia and others. Seeds of squash, cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini are sown in a greenhouse.

By region

The meteorological conditions of different regions also dictate their own landing rules. Therefore, planting times may vary. In any case, it is necessary to be guided by the data of the lunar calendar.

Northwest

In May, only cold-resistant crops are planted on the ridge, as well as those plants that are able to withstand a short and slight drop in temperature.

Middle lane

In Moscow and other regions of the middle latitudes of Russia, May is still considered a rather cool month, therefore it is recommended to plant seedlings for which a temperature of +12 degrees will already be optimal. If the thermometer falls below this mark, it is recommended to cover the ridges with foil.

Southern regions

The south of Russia is distinguished by a warm climate, which makes it possible to grow horticultural crops almost all year round. The optimal sowing dates and planting dates in May 2020 are determined by the lunar calendar. Gardeners and gardeners rarely use the seedling method and plant seeds directly in the ground.

Summarize

1. Planting days in May 2020 for laying seeds for seedlings, as well as favorable periods for planting plants in open ground, are determined by the weather conditions of the region, taking into account the information of the lunar calendar.
2. The growth and development of horticultural crops depend not only on the phases of the moon, but also on the position of the night star relative to the signs of the zodiac.
3. In the north of Russia, where the summer is short and the climate is cool, horticultural crops are grown mainly in seedlings.
4. The successful growth and development of horticultural crops depend on the phases of the moon, its location relative to the signs of the zodiac, and, of course, on the climatic conditions of the planting region.

Considering all these factors, you can independently determine the landing days in May 2020, or use a ready-made table, where all the necessary information is posted and favorable periods for sowing according to the lunar calendar are indicated.
