08.05.2023 10:39
There is exactly one week left until the beginning of the second half of May.
During this period, summer residents are unlikely to be able to relax: there will be quite a lot of work.
Planting continues. Don't forget about caring for already growing garden crops.
How to cope with the huge amount of work? What activities to focus on? The lunar calendar will help you plan your gardening activities.
May 8
Today, it is not recommended to be particularly “active” at the dacha.
If on this day the gardener still wants to plant something, then let it be the following plants: potatoes, onions and turnips.
Monday can be dedicated to protecting garden crops from diseases and dangerous microorganisms.
Touching the root system of plants is prohibited today. Loosening the soil and watering it abundantly is also not recommended.
May 9
But on Tuesday you can safely resume active “dacha” activities.
According to the lunar calendar, on the ninth day of the current month, it is worth removing excess stems on plants. In addition, you can remove weeds and excess shoots.
It wouldn't hurt to add fertilizers, but you shouldn't use any tools in the garden.
May 10
It is advisable to devote the third day of the week to planting trees and shrubs, peas, beans, as well as replanting potatoes and onions.
Today it is also worth removing weeds. Replenishing the deficiency of nutrients in the soil and using means against dangerous insects are welcome.
The list of undesirable actions includes working with the root systems of crops and overwatering.
May 11
Today you can do any kind of soil treatment. You can also trim trees.
Pinching is prohibited. Also, do not water the plants for a long time.
May 12
It is recommended that this Friday be a day of rest.

It is also allowed to feed the plants. But replanting seedlings and focusing on watering is not allowed.
May 13
On the sixth day of the week you can plant root vegetables and radishes.
It also makes sense to add fertilizer, treat the plants with remedies against diseases and remove weeds.
If large volumes of water are used for irrigation today, serious harm may be caused to flora representatives.
May 14
The last day of the current week is ideal for planting nightshades and other vegetables.
For the first time in a long time, abundant watering is welcomed. It is also worth cultivating the soil.
