Using the 2021 gardening calendar, Western Siberia determines planting dates for the entire season. This is especially relevant in this northern region. During the winter months, key activities include preparing seeds, applying mineral fertilizers to the soil for seedlings, and insulating trunks and shrubs. It's important to promptly remove snow from tree branches and fruit-bearing crops. Excessive snowfall will break them, causing significant damage to the new season's harvest.
Features of the region
Siberia's gardening calendar differs from other regions, as conditions here are harsher. Overall, this region is quite vast. It occupies USDA hardiness zones 2 and 3. This must be taken into account when planning a garden. Farming here is difficult, with various risks constantly arising. The climate is sharply continental, with frequent, sharp temperature fluctuations. Winter lasts, on average, up to six months.
Weather factors:
- The average temperature for the winter is -20 OWITH.
- Frosts down to -35 are possible OWITH.
- The lowest value recorded in this area is 42 OWITH.

Summer isn't very long, but it's hot. Temperatures above zero have reached 35°C (95°F) and 37°C (97°F). OPeriods of heavy rainfall alternate with prolonged droughts. Many rush to plant seedlings and potatoes in May. Not everyone takes into account that frosts return at this time. In a single day, the air temperature can drop from 25°C to 85°F. OFrom -10 OS. Cold snaps are associated with bird cherry blossoms. Therefore, it's not recommended to plant seedlings in open ground or sow heat-loving varieties before June.
The influence of the moon phases
For those who prefer sowing seeds or planting seedlings, there are certain rules for choosing planting times. When a celestial body approaches, the above-ground portion of the seedlings grows. If you observe the seedlings from the moment they are planted, you can see a real correlation with the phases:
- Waxing moon. Crops that bear fruit above ground are sown.
- Waning. They cultivate varieties that yield from the ground. These include root-bearing varieties of plants.
- New Moon and Full Moon. No seeding, transplanting, or transplanting is allowed 12 hours before and 12 hours after either phase.
The celestial body's gravitational pull is at its peak when it is closest to the earth's surface. These moments occur during the full moon and new moon. During these periods, all plantings will actively draw moisture and nutrients from the soil, and the movement of sap through the internal fibers of the seedlings is activated. Weeding should be done the day before and the day after the full moon.
Once the moon has approached its maximum distance, it begins to recede. At its farthest point, the force of gravity will be almost half as strong. This period occurs in the middle of the waxing and waning cycle. These periods can be observed not only by the lunar calendar but also by plants. Their root systems actively grow as gravity decreases. This is explained by the influence of gravity, which promotes root retraction.

This way, you can enjoy this succulent produce without buying it at the store. In spring, summer, and fall, seeds are sown outdoors. In winter, they are planted in containers on a windowsill. Below is a table of the best days to sow these varieties for a bountiful harvest.

To ensure vigorous growth and development, weeds must be removed regularly. For green and herbal crops, this process is repeated weekly. If seedlings are too densely planted, thin them out. Weeding should be done when the moon is passing through earth signs—Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn. Loosen the soil during the active phases of Gemini, Aquarius, Aries, and Cancer. During the waning moon, the process should be extremely gentle. During these periods, the root system weakens and damage to the seedlings can occur.
Below is a table of the best days to weed your garden beds.

By following these simple rules, you can get juicy, strong and beautiful greens.
Working with trees and flowers
The lunar sowing calendar contains information on when to plant fruit trees and flowers. In the former case, the waning moon is preferred. During this time, cellular sap is directed downward, toward the root system. Due to osmotic pressure, the branches and trunk will be deprived of circulating fluids for almost 10-14 days.
During them the following is carried out:
- grafting of other varieties;
- pruning of branches;
- other work, the performance of which will not damage the integrity of the bark.

During the waxing moon, fruit-bearing crops are watered generously. Each crop will require approximately 150 liters of water over 7 days.
You can use treatments to prevent fungal and pest damage to your plants. Antiparasitic treatments will be absorbed through the bark. Annual varieties are cultivated during the waxing moon. Perennial bulbous plants are cultivated during the waning moon. The 27th-28th lunar day is ideal for digging up bulbs for the winter:
- tulips;
- aster;
- dahlia.
Self-seeding flowers are fertilized during the new moon. These include cornflowers, marigolds, and pansies. Weeds are removed during the waning phase. Before digging up perennials, stop watering one lunar cycle. This will prevent excess moisture in the bulbs. The planting calendar also lists prohibited dates, which should be marked in red. Astrologers strongly recommend not to perform any actions with seedlings, flowers, or other saplings.

It is believed that during these periods it is undesirable to start business or use new technologies.
Recommendations
When planting and replanting seedlings, it's important to study not only favorable dates but also the advice of experienced gardeners. When using the lunar calendar, it's important to adjust the time according to the region's time zone and climate. Due to differences in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in different regions, lunar days may occur at different times.
Recommendations:
- When planning gardening work for several years in advance, it is necessary to draw up a detailed plan indicating the months of the activities to be carried out.
- Crops are affected in various ways. There are specific days when weed control, pest control, and disease control should be performed.
- It's best to tend to "female" plants on "female" days of the week. For example, carrots are tended to on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Cucumbers, zucchini, and eggplants are tended to on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Sunday is considered a day off for gardening.
- Using a lunar sowing calendar, we study not only favorable and unfavorable dates, but also neutral ones. We also take into account the phases of the moon and its position in a particular zodiac sign.
Seeds are purchased from trusted producers. When using seed prepared from the previous season, it is carefully processed. The work plan for the coming year includes all crops and varieties present in the plot. Information on weeding, watering, cultivation, picking, and planting dates is included. In open ground, sowing begins later than in a greenhouse. It is important to research the rules for planting with different species.
The lunar calendar isn't just recommendations to help you broaden your horizons, but information that can be put into practice. Astrologers' helpful advice helps you avoid serious mistakes, lose your harvest, and be left without tasty, fresh, and most importantly, healthy fruits this fall.

By carefully studying the 2021 Lunar Calendar for Western Siberia, you can determine days when work will not harm plants, regardless of variety or crop type. On neutral dates, loosening the soil and weeding are recommended. During periods when the moon sends negative energy to the earth, you should refrain from any intervention in the garden or vegetable patch. Any manipulation will adversely affect growth and development.
