Calendar farmer formed many centuries ago. And this did not happen by chance, but due to the systematic observations of our ancestors about the changes in the weather, the development of plants and the behavior of animals. As a result, by now, a whole stratum of popular signs has been formed, allowing a gardener to understand when it is better to start cultivating the land and sowing certain crops without a synoptic prediction.

  • In the spring to take a shovel in the hands of popular wisdom advises March 18. No wonder the saint, to whom this day is dedicated, was nicknamed Konon-gardener. However, the first landing signs recommend to make much later.
  • By May 1 (to Kuzma) popular beliefs suggest planting carrot and beet seeds in a garden. After all, the gentle-looking shoots of these crops tolerate cold morning performances, which are still very likely in May. In addition, late-ripening varieties intended for long-term storage will take a long time to mature. Consider that, according to the signs, the beets planted in the Holy Week are not likely to be born.
  • By May 5 (on Luka) it is time to plant a bow. This vegetable should have time to grow and ripen over the period of not too long summer of the Middle Band. But the seeds for seedling should be thrown into the garden as soon as the frogs begin to organize their spring concerts.
  • Starting from May 6 (Yegoria), if the weather permits, you can start planting in the open ground of those vegetables that are grown through seedlings.
  • Every gardener knows that cabbage is planted in the open ground with already prepared seedlings. But the day for the timely transfer of planting material Arina-sprouts determines May 18.
  • May 27 is not in vain nicknamed Sydor borage. Our ancestors considered this day suitable for sowing cucumbers. However, if the morning is cold and overcast, it is better to postpone the landing until a later time. At the same time, it is worth remembering that folk omens are considered to be June 2 (Falalea) as the deadline for this event.
  • Peas should be planted only when the first leaves begin to bloom on the oaks. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the wind. If it blows from the north or west, it is better to postpone the planting at a later date, otherwise the crop will be small and worms.
  • Beans - the culture is more thermophilic than peas, and therefore their wisdom advances their planting period to push back to Isaac (June 12).
  • For timely planting of such an important crop as potatoes, bird cherry will be the best "adviser". After all, knowledgeable gardeners throw tubers into the ground only when this tree is dressed in a fragrant cloud of flowers. Simultaneously with the potatoes, it is advisable to plant and seedlings of cabbage.
  • If someone from negligent gardeners was delayed in planting cabbage on the beds, then according to signs, the last opportunity for this will be June 25. This day is popularly called the "belated skull".
  • Do you dream to grow large and sweet turnips? The best time for her landing folk wisdom believes July 6 (Agrafenu). However, for early harvest, it can be planted with other cold-resistant vegetables (radishes, carrots, radishes and beets) 23 days after the start of flowering of the mother and stepmother.
  • According to popular belief, pumpkin is best planted on Tuesday or on market day. Such a vegetable will grow the largest, sweet and juicy. But you should start planting when the mountain ash and viburnum bloom.
  • Our ancestors knew that the lettuce roam was going well if you started planting it at the moment when the blossoming lilacs decorate the gardens and parks.

  • To grow a good harvest, you need not only to know the garden and agro-wisdom, but also to be able to appease nature, weather, land - and for this, conjure!
  • . The main attention should be paid to the earth and the sun. In the spring, on any of Fridays, you need to leave the house and, standing on the ground, say:
  • “Earth is not angry with us, let everything be born on it, let everything be fruitful. Her honor and respect, us salvation from her gifts. "
  • At dawn, to address the sun like this: “The sun warms with warmth, everything protects. Without heat, nothing is born, does not live, does not multiply. I implore you - to be a harvest, to be a warm summer all over the world. ”
  • . To get a good harvest of all crops, you need to go out on the garden one of the nights on the growing Moon (before the start of field work) and, stretching out your hands to the sky, say:
  • “The moon has silver sides, it grows up on its own, calling for others to grow. Stars poured out to clear days, to a good harvest! As the stars are near the moon, this will be my harvest. Let everything that I will plant in the land grow, and I will order it to grow. ”
  • . The potato crop will be much larger if, in the basement, where the seeds are stored, set fire to a bunch of wormwood in an old frying pan and raise a little. And to utter such a conspiracy:
  • "Sprout-sprout, germinate in time, but for now wait between, for the time being, for the time being, before the warm days."
  • . Seedlings of tomatoes will be fair, and then the bushes will give a good harvest, if the first seedlings sprinkle holy water, saying the following:
  • “Holy water, you are always the protection of my seedlings so as not to be annoyed with me. Tomatoes have the strength to gather, pour healthy juice, multiply generously, I wonder at tomatoes. ”
  • . The harvest of garlic and onions will especially please you, if you carry out on heads and bulbs intended for planting, with a branch of juniper or bird cherry tree and say the following:
  • “Winter was wintered, they gained strength, the time will come - give a sprout, for another one is not frail, not rotten. The sprout will be strengthened, a notable harvest will be born. ”
  • Then the branch should be stuck in the ground not far from the place where these cultures will be planted.
  • . From the last puddles of melt water you need to pick up a bubble and bury it at the edge of the garden with these words:
  • "Water-sap, all living things are in the soil, stay in the ground, pour rain as much as you need,”
  • After that, do not worry about the fact that the harvest will be burned by the sun or, conversely, will rot from excessive moisture.
  • . We must take a dry birch broom and place a spider web in the shed, and then shake this broom over the berry bushes and, turning our faces to the sun, say:
  • “Just like a spider weaves a web, so does the sun bring its light to the earth, it weaves the earth with rays, every bush warms it. Power, dig in them, good berry, be born. "
  • Berries that year is born apparently invisible.
  • . In order for the cabbage to grow thickly, you also need to go around the site where you will plant it, and so to say:
  • “I go through the last snow, I drive water behind me, and still a warm summer and a lot of sunshine. Cabbage is here to be born, a noble crop to happen. "
  • . In order to make everything rich, you need to hear the first thunder, say three times: “The thunder rattles on full wagons, on a warm field, on a well-fed share, on a generous tillage, on a lush crock, on a full mouth, on a contented people!”
  • . Weeds will not drown the beds, which means that the harvest will not disappear if, even before planting, to go around the garden with a hoe in your left hand with these words:
  • “I’ll sharpen the hoe, I will teach the weeds, I will beat them and break them, protect my garden. Weeds, out of my land, I will create a barrier for you, I will kindle me up - I will not let a thin one close. ”
  • . You do not have to grieve about the crop lost due to pests, if you take 3 seeds of each crop that you want to plant now (cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, cabbage, etc.) before planting a vegetable garden and put them on the side of the bread. This crap should be put behind the fence (on the opposite side of the plot) and say:
  • “Let the beast, or the bird, let it be treated to it, and restrict itself to that. There is no harvest for my beetle, mouse, or any other pest, my gardener for the waste. What I will grow, I will collect it myself, I'll take it to the bins ”.
  • . In order not to tolerate damage due to late frosts, in the spring you need to put a handful of straw on the soil that has not yet been cultivated, hold it clockwise three times over your right hand and say these words three times:
  • “Frosts, go away, do not ruin the harvest. The sprouts will stretch to the sun, the fierce cold for the winter will remain, for the spring it will be warm so that everything grows. ”
  • This straw then needs to be burned, and the ashes dispel on the site.
  • . Plants in the greenhouse will bear fruit well, if there, before digging up the soil, light a church candle and place a cup of water next to it. Above them you need to say these words:
  • “Candle, burn, make me a gift, reflect in the water - turn your luck. Let everything that has been planted out of the ground drink juice and grow well, color bloom - the harvest will come true ”.
  • Then the water from the cup should be sprayed in the greenhouse.
  • . To get a rich harvest of apples and pears, you need to take a little ash from the bath at the full moon and scatter it in the garden. In this case, utter these words:
  • “The ash is bathing, a force unprecedented, you soil the land, you send the trees to the harvest, you leave no fruits”.
  • . It is very important to notice and admire the gardening tools. One spring day, you need to take out all the shovels, rakes, choppers, garden shears (all the tools you have to work this season) out of the shed, regrind, peel and clean back, so to speak:
  • “To you not be stupid, I work not be lazy. The tool will not fail, the year will be fruitful
