When to plant zucchini seedlings in 2017 according to the lunar calendar

In March, pay attention to the time between the 18th and 19th and the 28th and 29th. During these periods, the seeds will take root and produce beautiful, viable seedlings.

 

Zucchini is associated with the water and earth elements. According to the lunar calendar, the best time to plant zucchini is when the waxing moon is in its first quarter, especially around the new moon, and also when it is in the following zodiac signs: Pisces, Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio, Libra, and Capricorn. At this time, the plant will not only grow faster but also be quite fertile and healthy.

 

When should I plant zucchini seedlings in April and May 2017 according to the lunar calendar? The best time to do this is during the waxing moon, when it's in a water or earth sign. In April, these are Taurus and Cancer. Typically, the seeds need to be watered generously during these days to absorb moisture. Planting at this time can also lead to abundant fruiting. The plant will not only begin to fill with vitality more quickly, but will also produce fruit very quickly, which will be very juicy and sweet.

If you plant zucchini when the Moon is in Gemini or Aquarius, the plant may grow very lush and beautiful, but not produce many fruits. The fruits may even be plump and attractive, but hollow or diseased inside. Therefore, when the Moon is in Gemini or Aquarius, the plant may be unhealthy or not produce the fruit it should. Incidentally, zucchini plants planted while in Gemini are more likely to produce fruit with empty flowers.

 

In April, it is best to plant zucchini on the 2nd, 1st and 3rd, as well as on April 9th.

 

Many varieties of zucchini are planted in May. At this time, they can grow very lush and beautiful, with juicy and attractive fruits. The best time to plant late varieties is mid-May, from the 11th to the 13th. This is when they will grow lush and very beautiful, healthy, and vigorous.

 

Phases and days of the moon that are harmful to zucchini

 

According to the system, calculating this day is quite simple. First of all, zucchini, which belongs to the water element, is very sensitive to fire. Therefore, plants may die or experience significant growth delays if zucchini seeds are planted when the Moon is in a fire sign—Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. Gemini and Aquarius are also unfavorable for zucchini. In April, this period is from April 6th to 8th, from April 10th to 12th, and from April 14th to 18th. During these periods, the risk of not only disease increases, but also the risk of poor plant growth and subsequent spoilage.

In May, unfavorable days for planting zucchini are May 3rd and 4th, as the Moon will be in a fire sign during these periods, which can damage the plant. This includes the Moon from May 7th to 9th, and from the 14th onward. On these dates, even with ample watering, zucchini may not receive enough moisture, and the sun can be harmful and unfavorable. For this reason, it's best to plant zucchini when the Moon is in a soft sign.

 

Zucchini should also not be planted when the moon is at full moon or in the last days of the last quarter. During this time, the plant will grow very poorly and fill with vitality, but will also be plagued by disease, or the fruit will be small and not quite as desired. Many stunted and unviable zucchini are planted precisely during the waning moon.

 

If you look at the lunar calendar, the 3rd, 9th, 13th, and 27th days are not suitable for planting zucchini. All other days are relatively favorable.
