Favorable days for planting in January 2020 according to the moon

For good homemakers, the season begins with the New Year, and sometimes never ends. The lunar calendar for January 2024 allows gardeners, vegetable growers, and even just summer residents to check the current moon phase and sign. Taking into account favorable and unfavorable days at the beginning of the year will make it much easier to plan your planting, both seedlings and houseplants.

The lunar phases influence all living things. On January 1st and 2nd, 2020, the lunar sowing season falls during the waxing cycle, so seeds sown during this time will grow more vigorously. Vegetable growers are well-advised to sow flowers and vegetables for greens (dill, parsley). All plantings during this phase, especially in the Urals, are characterized by excellent germination and a constant flow of beneficial elements from the rhizomes to the green mass.

Work on the waxing moon

January 3-7 – waxing moon. This period is more favorable for sowing. Lower leaves of sprouted crops can be pruned. January 8 and 9 precede the full moon, so the growing season will proceed quickly and productively regardless of your region, including:

• Siberia;
• Moscow region;
• Middle belt.

All plant crops grown according to the Moon will quickly enter the development stage during this active period. Foliage will develop significantly faster than those grown at other times in January 2020. The rhizomes will be strong and disease-resistant.

January 10th marks the Full Moon, so any work will be beneficial and beneficial, and your efforts won't be in vain. Root works on January 10th are ideal. Loosening the soil will stimulate active rhizome development. Pricking out won't cause significant stress to the plants, and they will thrive and grow well.

What to do on the waning and new moon

January 11-16 is the waning phase. During these favorable periods, beneficial elements migrate from the greenery to the rhizome, so professionals recommend replanting newly sprouted seedlings. Thanks to the sap flow, the rhizome will actively recover even if damaged. Watering the crops or sprouts during this period is not recommended due to the high risk of rot or soil problems.

From January 17th to 22nd of next year, the moon's waning phase occurs, a period characterized by peace and tranquility for crops. During this period, the lunar sowing calendar recommends:

• loosening;
• watering;
• top dressing for previously planted crops.

Planting of crops or sowing cannot be carried out, as they will not yield results if there are no designations in the table.

January 23-24 marks the transition to the New Moon. These dates are suitable for planting vegetables:

• tomatoes;
• pepper;
• eggplant crops.

They boast excellent germination rates and will quickly enter a state of rapid growth, eventually transitioning to fruit formation. January 25th marks the New Moon, so it's best to avoid any gardening. This day carries negative energy that can undermine any efforts and negatively impact all undertakings, so it's best to rest. January 26-31 is the waxing moon, so sowing is prohibited during these dates. Fertilizing, watering, and cultivating the soil are permitted.

Favorable and unfavorable days

The sowing calendar has been used for many years in gardening. It helps vegetable growers accurately determine the best time to cultivate their gardens, sow, plant, and transplant vegetables and fruit and berry crops, harvest, and carry out other agricultural activities. It has been noted that various crops grow better when planted during different phases of the Earth's moon.

Favorable days for planting in January 2020: 1-3, 6, 18, 20, 22, 27, 28

Planting seeds on these dates has a beneficial effect on the plant. It's wrong to dismiss the scientists' opinions as superfluous and merely informative; they truly help produce strong seedlings and, as a result, a bountiful harvest.

Each phase affects plants on the planet through increases and decreases in water in the soil and in plant crops:

Any seed sowing requires specific knowledge and adherence to specific rules. For example, a nutrient substrate of 1:3:1 is ideal for sowing strawberries:

1. Humus.
2. Sand
3. Garden soil.

Regular plastic boxes can be used as containers.

When choosing the timing for planting seedlings, it's important to consider the region's climatic conditions, as vegetables are primarily heat-loving crops, and early planting in a permanent location can cause plant death (if night frosts return). When choosing the appropriate date for sowing seeds for seedlings, it's important to consider a number of key criteria:

1. Regional climate characteristics. In the Urals and Siberian regions, planting is done a week or two later than in central Russia.
2. The best place to grow crops is in a vegetable garden or greenhouse. Planting in a greenhouse or hotbed can be done earlier (1-3 weeks earlier) than in a vegetable garden.
3. The duration of the seedling period, or more precisely, the required age of the seedling material at the time of planting in the ground.

When choosing the time to plant seeds for seedlings, vegetable growers take into account the phases of the moon, which can have both positive and negative effects on the development of crops. Yes, it's been proven that the lunar calendar really does help determine favorable dates for planting and prepare in advance.

If you sow seeds late, the plants will begin to bear fruit later, meaning you may simply not have time to harvest the fruits of your labor. If you plant too early, the seedlings will simply outgrow the containers, and the lower fruits will begin to set, and in early spring, this will lead to plant depletion due to a lack of nutrients and light.

Gardeners can calculate sowing dates themselves. Depending on their maturation time (from germination to technical maturity), varietal and hybrid plant species can be divided into:

1. Early ripening – 90-120 days.
2. Mid-season – 120-140 days.
3. Late-ripening – 140-150 days.

So, depending on the ripening time of a particular varietal or hybrid, experts recommend planting seedlings in a permanent location in the ground at a certain age:

1. Early maturing – 55-65 days.
2. Average - 65-70 days.
3. Late - 70-80 days.

Calculating the growing period for seedlings is entirely possible using simple arithmetic. A gardener can determine (by counting backwards) how long it will take to prepare seedlings by performing some basic calculations (in days):

1. Processing of seeds, their germination (0-3).
2. Time period for emergence of seedlings (4-10).
3. Recovery after a dive (10).
4. The appropriate age of seedlings (approximately 60-70).

This works out to 77-90 days, meaning this period for vegetables should be approximately 2.5-3 months. Specific approximate sowing dates can be calculated depending on the climate zone (by counting backwards, subtracting the resulting amount from the expected planting date). It also depends on when the region allows for planting seedlings in the garden (either in a raised bed or in a greenhouse).

Unfavorable days are not suitable for working with plants: 10, 24-27

January – you can stratify your seeds. Some flower seeds take a very long time to germinate. You can place them in a container with sand, seal it with a lid, and place it in the snow for seven days, then bring it home and refrigerate. You probably have some spruce branches left over from the holidays. They make excellent fertilizer. Mix equal parts pine needles and soil, add water. After four months, you'll have ready-made tomato fertilizer. You can collect onion and garlic peels to disinfect the soil and for fertilizer. From January onwards, you can sow for seedlings.

You can plant some greenery on the window:

1. Parsley.
2. Dill.
3. Salad.
4. Onion.

Of the spices, it is allowed to plant:

1. Mint.
2. Basil.
3. Melissa.

Vegetables, herbs, and flowers are planted in heated greenhouses. January is the month of intense preparation for the next planting season. The first priority is to check your tools. Some items need to be purchased, some repaired, and some replaced. You can plan planting sites, and the long January evenings are the perfect time. It's also time to buy seeds for spring planting. And January is the ideal time to stock up without any hassle.

In January, it's essential to check your vegetable and fruit supplies, as well as flower bulbs and rhizomes, and tree and shrub seedlings. Any defective items should be discarded. Dry soil in seedlings should be moistened.

To ensure a productive harvest, you must demonstrate maximum effort, patience, and commitment to maintaining your plants throughout the entire growing stage, starting from germination. If you follow the planting calendar recommendations and follow the most favorable planting days in January, your plants will be healthy, and your yield will increase.
