The influence of the lunar phases on the terrestrial processes has long been proven by scientists, so it is not surprising that many gardeners listen to the opinion of astrologers in the cultivation of various crops. In each month, this process will have its own characteristics, which means that the recommendations of the astrological calendar should be taken into account throughout the year.
This article focuses on the most suitable days for planting, planting and working on the beds in the first spring month, and what exactly is worth knowing about it - read on.
What is the main work to do the gardener and gardener in March
Most of the territory of the average climatic strip in March is starting to snow, but it is still difficult to plan any specific activities, as much depends on weather conditions, phases of growth and development of plants. However, the main activities in this period can be identified, and first of all they include:
- treatment and pruning of trees in the garden (always with the placement of cut areas with garden pitch);
- treating garden vegetation from fungal diseases (while maintaining temperature indicators at + 5 ° C or higher), using Bordeaux mixture, “Skor”, “Topaz”, “Topsin” or “Chorus” preparations;
- pruning and fertilizing ornamental shrub plants, but only before the start of active sap movement within their tissues (you can learn about the beginning of the process by active swelling of the kidneys);
- protection of the site and homestead territory from mice in the form of placing new and updating old baits;
- the protection of vegetation from pests, in particular, and birds;
- sowing cold-resistant crops, such as carrots, leafy greens, onions, beets, radishes;
- seeding heat-loving vegetables on seedlings (for example, any varieties and varieties of cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers);
- sowing seeds of greens on seedlings.
How do moon phases affect plant growth and yield?
The moon controls the condition of all fluids on our planet, and this is a fact. In the interval between the rising of the moon and the full moon (the rising moon) there are tides in the oceans and seas, and the water level rises in other water bodies. The tissues of the human body also accumulate fluid, from which energy forces also arrive. Almost the same thing happens with the crops planted on the site.
Did you know? According to research scientists, the moon annually moves away from our planet by about 3.8 cm, which means that after 600 million years from the surface of the Earth it will practically not be visible, at least lunar eclipses will not see earthlings anymore.
The rising moon accounts for the upward sap flow: ranging from the root system to the aerial parts of trees, bushes, flowers and vegetable crops. Along with it, the energy of vegetation increases, thereby accelerating their growth and development. The peak of these processes occurs during the full moon, when the grown crops are full of strength and contain a maximum of nutrients. If we are talking about summer or autumn months, then during the full moon you can do harvesting, the most charged with energy, which will have a positive effect on the human body. Starting from the second day of activity of the full moon, they talk about the beginning of a descending period, characterized by a waste of fluid and a gradual decline in vital activity. In plants, sap flow becomes downward, which means that energy moves from the aboveground part to the roots, where it focuses on the moment of the new moon. At this time, you should not prune, plant or transplant crops, as it will be much more difficult for them to recover from such interventions, especially if the roots are damaged.
Did you know? According to one of the theories of the origin of the moon, it is nothing else as a collection of space debris that appeared after the collision of the protoplanet Theia with the Earth.
The day of the new moon itself, as well as the day before and after this point, is the most opportune time for harvesting the root crops, since all positive energy is concentrated in them. It is not excluded the preparation of medicinal herbs, which will also have a lot of useful properties.
In general, the scheme of planting and planting plants according to the lunar phases is based on the following recommendations:
- Seeding of seeds is desirable to be carried out on the growing Moon, if possible within the first 10 days from the moment of the new moon, but not on the very day of the lunar ascent;
- on a growing moon, about 2 days before the appearance of the full moon, it is worth planting perennial seedlings so that they adapt faster and grow;
- root crops, on the contrary, are better sown during the waning moon, if possible in the first 10 days after the rising of the full moon, but not on the full moon day itself.

The following March days are considered to be unsuitable for any crops: 5, 6, 7, 21 numbers.
Important! If, having chosen the necessary action, you did not find in the tables a suitable number confirming the relevance or inappropriateness of sowing seeds, then the specific day can be considered neutral.

March 10 and 11 (Sunday and Monday), the increasing Moon is under the influence of Taurus | Taurus is a fruitful badge, so any planting is welcome. Free time can be devoted to the treatment of seeds and their sowing at the site: for example, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, eggplant, bell pepper, greens, planting various flowers and grafting garden plants. When caring for the garden, it is useful to whitewash the tree trunks and form their crowns. Changing the place of growth of crops and loosening of the substrate during this period is extremely undesirable, since the possible damage to the rhizomes can provoke the death of the entire plant. |
March 12 (Tuesday) Growing Moon in Gemini | Good time for sowing green leafy crops and basic vegetables. If you wish, you can plant on a bed of flowers, one-year-olds and biennial specimens, plant trees. From gardening works it is recommended to prune shoots, work with the soil, fight against harmful insects. |
March 13 and 14 (Wednesday and Thursday), the rising moon under the influence of the Gemini Sign | Possible planting of annual flowers (including ampelous), planting greens and vegetable seeds. With pruning and grafting of garden vegetation is to wait, preferring the care of the soil and the fight against the ailments of crops grown (perhaps spraying and fumigation). |
March 15 and 16 (Friday and Saturday), the rising Moon goes under the influence of Cancer | Cancer is considered one of the most fertile signs, so these days should be devoted to sowing and planting, working with vegetable and ornamental crops. No less productive will be grafting and planting fruit bushes and large trees, recharge plantings. It is undesirable to spray vegetation with chemicals in the fight against insects and diseases. |
March 17 and 18 (Sunday, Monday), the growing moon is already in Leo | Since Leo belongs to barren signs, instead of planting, you can begin loosening and weeding already planted crops, organizing new beds, spraying trees on the site. Watering, pinching, sowing and replanting vegetation is not yet worth it. |
March 19 and 20 (Tuesday, Wednesday), the Moon is still growing, but is influenced by the sign of Virgo | Medium fertile days, but transplantation and transplanting of grown seedlings is allowed. Soil preparation for planting new plants, fertilizing root crops with fertilizers, weeding plantings and pest control are allowed. When servicing a garden, it is worthwhile to focus on removing excess vegetation and grafting. Soaking seeds at this stage is irrelevant. |
