The ninth month of the year is characterized by changeable weather, so the lunar calendar for September 2020 is used to maximize the effectiveness of agricultural practices. The table provides comprehensive recommendations for various crops. The lunar sowing calendar for September 2020 for gardeners was compiled by astrologers who monitor the activity of celestial bodies. In addition to the list of favorable and unfavorable days, it also includes neutral periods. During these days, the moon has no effect on planting.
Moon in September
During the ninth month of the year, the celestial body transits several zodiac signs. Each of these signs has a positive effect on flowers, fruit trees, vegetables, and so on on specific days. Seedlings are planted and harvested according to astrological recommendations. Among other things, planting seedlings in September is only permissible in southern regions.
In the central and northwestern parts of the country, seedlings are planted only in protected soil. Otherwise, the chances of success are slim. Another characteristic of the September moon is frequent surges of negative energy. Moscow, like every other city in the country, is at risk. The risk of losing part of the harvest can be reduced by observing the moon's activity phases.
Recommended days (table)
The ninth month of the year is characterized by changeable weather. Depending on the region, cold weather arrives at different times. For example, in Siberia, outdoor cultivation ends in the first ten days of September. In southern regions, it continues until the third ten days of the month. A table listing favorable lunar days will be helpful.

When to plant flowers
A gardener's task is to study the lunar calendar for September 2020. It divides all days into several categories. General recommendations for gardeners are as follows:
- planting of perennial flowers is carried out on days (7, 8) when the moon is in the sign of Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer;
- average level of productivity on dates (5, 6), when the celestial body is in the sign of Libra or Capricorn;
- insufficient productivity levels on dates (10, 11, 24, 25) that coincide in September with the sign of Aries and Leo.
Avoid working with flowers on days when the moon is in Aquarius—the 9th, 16th, 28th, and 29th. Most plantings will not survive the winter, even under ideal growing conditions. Astrologers advise against wasting time on obviously futile agricultural manipulations with seedlings.

The dates given for the active moon are not the final authority. Harvesting is carried out taking into account weather conditions and the characteristics of the variety. Additionally, attention is paid to the ripeness of the fruit. Unfortunately, due to insufficient light or fertilization, the harvest may not grow in September. In such a situation, it is given more time to ripen. For example, in southern regions, harvesting is done closer to October, while in northern regions, harvesting is completed at the very beginning of the ninth month.
Unfavorable days
Astrologers analyze the phases of the September moon to compile a list of unfavorable days. The list opens with September 2, when the moon is at its fullest. All the moon's energy is directed toward the lower parts of seedlings. Another negative factor is the dominant zodiac sign of Pisces. The next unfavorable date is September 10. The waxing moon in Gemini inhibits the growth of berries and fruit trees.
Avoid gardening and greenhouse work on September 17th. The new moon in Virgo negatively impacts storage times. Harvests harvested on this day will typically rot. The list of unfavorable days ends with September 24th. The moon is in Capricorn for 24 hours. Avoid fertilizing or watering the garden. The seedlings will use all their nutrients to form unproductive green mass.
Volume of work in September
An experienced gardener's lunar calendar includes a comprehensive list of gardening tasks for September. It is adjusted upward or downward based on climate conditions. The first step is harvesting berries and fruits. Rowan berries, plums, pears, and other vitamin-rich fruits of nature are picked first from the lower branches. The second step is to provide perennial greenery with complex nutrient mixtures. These are selected based on the characteristics of the variety.
The third step is to treat the area for diseases and pests. Insects that overwinter in the crown or root system will cause problems. For preventative and therapeutic purposes, use a mixture of "Aktara" and "Intavir." The dosage should be determined according to the package recommendations. Two treatments, 10 days apart, are sufficient. This reduces the likelihood of pests overwintering underground. Other recommendations:
- The tree trunks of berry crops are cleared—the more weeds remain when the cold weather sets in, the lower the yield. The trunks are lightly coated with any herbicide. Once the plant debris is removed, the soil is loosened. Peat or rotted sawdust is used as mulch.
- Moisture-boosting watering is performed: 20 days before the onset of cold weather, the soil under the seedlings is soaked to a depth of about 1.5 m. For an adult tree, use 50 liters, and for a young one, 40 liters.
Sanitary pruning is performed, removing diseased, dead, or deformed branches on trees older than 1.5 years. Formative pruning is performed in the garden. The condition of the greenhouse or hothouse is inspected. The structure is prepared for cold weather conditions.
