When to sow eggplant seedlings in 2019: lunar calendar

Lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and vegetable growers for 2025

Eggplant is called "longevity-giving" because it contains potassium salts and antioxidants, and can protect the body from harmful effects by breaking down fats. It is recommended for those suffering from heart disease. Every gardener dreams of growing this plant. Let's find out when to sow eggplants in 2019 according to the lunar calendar.

Determining the time to plant eggplants

Eggplants prefer warmth and sun, so the conditions of central Russia are considered unfavorable. They don't tolerate temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius and begin to lose flowers and fruit. Drought is also a problem for them. Therefore, it's important to study the climate of the region where you'll be planting and select appropriate planting material. It's best to grow eggplant not in the garden beds, although there are now varieties for outdoors.

Calculating the planting date, germinating seeds, and planting bushes in the soil

When to sow eggplant seedlings in 2019 for a greenhouse or garden is determined using a simple calculation.

The eggplant growing season, the time from sprouting to full ripening, lasts 100-140 days, depending on the variety. Soaking and germination of this vegetable crop takes from one to three weeks, depending on the temperature in the room where the containers are kept. This time is added to the four months. Plants are transplanted to a greenhouse or the ground no earlier than 45-60 days later.

Advice!
For best seed germination, place the pots on a warm windowsill or radiator, but avoid allowing the soil to dry out. Planting temperatures should range from 18 to 25 degrees Celsius.

Features of growing eggplants

Once you've determined when to sow eggplant seedlings according to the lunar calendar in 2019, you can begin preparing the planting material. It's important to know that eggplants don't like being transplanted, so separate pots, preferably peat ones, are prepared for the seedlings. Once the plants have emerged, they are simply transplanted into the soil. The temperature in the greenhouse should reach 20°C. To keep the soil warm and prevent it from drying out, mulch is essential.

Eggplants are moisture-loving and should be watered every 7 days in the evening. In the garden beds, water once every 2 days during dry weather.

Please note!
Eggplants don't tolerate drought or wind, but prefer full sun. They prefer open space rather than a hot greenhouse, but they dislike drafts. When it's time to sow eggplants, these issues are resolved by properly ventilating the greenhouse, as the plant won't bear fruit in our climate zone.

The Moon and Wildlife

All living organisms on Earth are influenced by its moon. Even the ebb and flow of the seas and oceans are influenced by this energy. Plants are no exception, growing during certain phases of the moon and halting growth during others. In addition to following all agricultural practices, when tending to their gardens, gardeners follow the recommendations of scientists, who calculate the necessary work during lunar days.

Interesting!
Eggplants are part of the world's most famous and healthy diet—the Mediterranean diet. Greeks and Turks especially love to add this vegetable to their dishes.
