Moon calendar for the gardener 2017 - Seedlings. Sowing for seedlings
The table of the lunar calendar given on this page is a thematic selection from a universal one made for the convenience of planning work related to work in the beds. Garden strawberries is present in this section, since it is more convenient for us to view works related to it in the “garden” section of the calendar.
March - awakening of the earth.
March is the first month of spring. The touching first sprouts of seedlings delight, filling the soul with warmth and hope... Sowing vegetable seeds for seedlings (peppers, tomatoes, etc.) continues. Towards the end of the month, warm beds (using biofuel) begin to be prepared in the garden for sowing cold-resistant vegetable crops and planting seedlings.
In March 2017 lunar phases distributed in such a way that the most favorable days for sowing seedlings of all flower crops (flowers), as well as such vegetable crops as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and cabbage, occur only in the second ten days of the month (from March 10), and ends on the full moon (March 22).
ATTENTION! Our gardener's lunar calendar is kept by Moscow time. (The calendar can be used throughout Russia, taking into account the difference between Moscow and local time *)

Work on the gardener's lunar calendar table for March 2017 was completed on 02/09/2017 |
|
The gardener's lunar calendar was made in this form at the suggestion of one of the active visitors to our site on the forum.
We try to take your comments into account. Please contact us with suggestions at To determine the local time of the lunar calendar event in Kaliningrad, you need to subtract -1 hour, in Samara: add +1 hour, in Yekaterinburg and Perm: +2; Novosibirsk: +3, Krasnoyarsk: +4 hours... in Vladivostok: +7, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: +9 hours.
April is mid-spring, the time for nature to awaken. During this period, plant buds begin to swell, from which bud buds, leaves, or both, then appear, depending on the type of buds. First on garden plot currants, gooseberries and honeysuckle begin their growing season. If you did not have time to prune these crops in March, then do it in early April before the buds open.
Some gardeners are forced to keep seedlings on windowsills facing north or north-west. Young plants, as a rule, do not have enough light - the main factor for normal height and successful development, and as a result, instead of thickened and stocky seedlings, gardeners sometimes get elongated (too elongated) plants, especially tomato plants, the stems of which become thinner, become brittle and bend. It is known that from such seedlings one should not expect timely and good harvest fruits Therefore, some gardeners are in no hurry to sow seeds in seedling boxes, guided by the principle: let it be short in height by the time it is planted in the ground, but not thin and not a meter high.
April is a responsible month. First of all we need to lower excess water from the site, to do this, dig ditches along its slope so that the water flows into the reclamation ditch. If there is no slope on the site, then simply dig a shallow ditch, gradually deepening it so that the water flows in the direction you need. Stagnation of water is especially dangerous in raspberry and strawberry plantings and in clematis flowerbeds.
With the onset of warm April days, the rapid development of nature begins. No wonder the name of the month comes from the Latin word “aperire” - “to open”. The first flowers bloom in April spring flowers. Therefore, the Slavs gave it the name pollen.
In Rus', April was called “blooming,” but it was not deprived of popular nicknames: “awakening” (sap flow begins in trees and bushes), “birch maker” (preparing birch sap), “snowrunner,” “light up the snow,” “play.” ravines". Month spring primroses, it’s not for nothing that the Latin name “Aprilis” means “to open”: the buds on bushes and trees open. The first greenery appears in the meadows, forest clearings and among the bushes, the first flowers open their buds.
Let's look at the planting calendar for March 2017, taking into account the climatic conditions of the north, the seeds of which crops make sense to sow for seedlings in the first calendar month of spring.
It is quite natural that the timing of planting seedlings depends on many factors: weather conditions, location of the garden, availability of greenhouses. If the greenhouses are heated, then the timing will be completely different than for unheated ones.
The start date for sowing seeds for seedlings depends on the timing of planting, since it seems possible to grow the harvest of most vegetable crops in the northern regions only through seedlings.
Practice shows that starting to plant seedlings in open ground or an unheated greenhouse is possible only after the threat of return frosts has passed. The Swedes call them quite poetically “Steel (iron) nights” (Järn nätter). They usually occur in the first ten days of June.
I tried to compile the lunar landing calendar for March 2017 myself, taking into account the following factors:
- desired age of seedlings at the time of planting
- Moon phase
- the sign through which the Moon passes when work begins.
At the beginning of March, it is worth sowing the seeds of only large-fruited indeterminate varieties of tomatoes, which require a longer time to develop. From the very first days of emergence, they should be provided with good lighting.
It should be noted that the duration of illumination for peppers is 8 hours, since they are short-day plants. Eggplants and tomatoes should be illuminated for 12 hours. Typically, seedlings of these crops are grown together, so after eight hours of illumination, the peppers should be shaded.
The lamps are located at a distance of 15 - 20 cm above the seedlings, as they grow, the illumination must be gradually raised, maintaining a given distance.
Although March is significantly ahead of February in terms of the number of sunny days, March seedlings should be supplemented with light. Under such conditions, March seedlings are usually of better quality than February ones.
Let's “walk” through the Lunar calendar for March 2017. Let me remind you that the following zodiac signs are considered fertile: Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces.
The waxing moon phase occurs in the first ten days of the month. which favors the development of plants that bear fruit with their above-ground part.
- March 2, 3 are favorable days (the Moon will be in the sign of Taurus) for sowing seeds of petiole celery, lettuce, cabbage, and late-ripening large-fruited varieties of pepper.
- March 6 (after 12 Moscow time), 7, 8 (before 19.45 Moscow time) - The Moon will pass through the Zodiac sign Cancer. These days are very suitable for planting seeds of strawberries, fennel, and peppers.
- On March 12, the Full Moon will occur, from now until March 28 (New Moon phase) the Moon will be waning.
- March 13 - 17, 20 - 22, 25 - 26 are favorable days, the Moon will successively pass through the fertile signs Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. Then it will be possible to sow seeds of bulbous crops and root celery.
After passing the New Moon phase, favorable days will come again for planting crops that bear fruit above the surface of the earth.
- March 29, 30 - you can plant seeds of lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants as the growing Moon will pass through the fertile sign of Taurus.
Those gardeners who do not pay attention to the Lunar sowing calendar can be guided by the approximate dates for the start of sowing seeds:
- salads, strawberries, celery, large-fruited peppers - first ten days of the month
- early ripening peppers, tomatoes, eggplants - second, third ten days of the month.
In the northern regions, snow remains on the fields until the beginning of May. It is clear that there is no need to rush into sowing early ripening crops. From the text of the article it is clear that the planting calendar for March 2017 for the northern regions is not “stressful” - there are only so many types of vegetable crops that can be sown.
However, I am sure that most of us will have to solve the problem of placing all the seedlings under additional lighting. So I have already prepared bags with seeds of 8 varieties of peppers and 12 varieties of tomatoes. It's interesting to try them all! All that remains is to wish us all a successful start to the new sowing season.

Our life is an unchanging cyclical process that affects all areas, including plants.

However, it is not enough to select good seeds, prepare the land and plant the crop on time; you also need to choose the planting day correctly. The thing is that the phases of the moon have a direct effect on the plant. So, for example, if you plant gifts of nature on a full moon, you risk being left without a harvest, but if you plant on a waxing moon, the result will meet your expectations.
New Moon and Full Moon
Please note that on the fifth of 2018 the Moon will be in the first quarter. This is the ideal time to start work. It is believed that all plants planted on this day will delight you with a generous harvest. As for the full moon, this month it awaits us on the twelfth; fears, worries and depression will intensify. The Moon will enter its last quarter on the twentieth, but on March 28 there will be a new moon.

The best day to plant a crop
When choosing a planting day, you also need to take into account the type of crop you want to plant. So, for example, planting squash, eggplant and zucchini is best done from March 13 to 15, and for rutabaga and turnips, the 20-23rd, 25-26th are excellent. It is not recommended to plant beans, beans and peas in March. For planting strawberries and wild strawberries, March 13-15 is suitable, but for cabbage - 3-10.
Many gardeners are interested in the question of when to plant potatoes, because everyone wants to harvest bountiful harvest, which is enough for the whole winter. However, here you need to take into account the climatic conditions of your region. As for favorable days, this is March 20-25. But keep in mind that when planting it, you must be sure that it will not freeze, otherwise your efforts will be in vain. We also stock up on onions for the winter. It is best to plant this crop on the 6th-9th or 21st-26th. For carrots, select the day from the 20th to the 23rd. It is not recommended to plant cucumbers, melon, watermelon and corn in March. Planting should be carried out from April. You can also plant in a greenhouse in March Bell pepper. However, it is best to do this from the 13th to the 15th. But for radishes and parsley, choose a date from the 20th to the 25th. Sow tomatoes for seedlings in special containers from March 13 to March 15.
Have a generous harvest!
