Amateur gardeners, experienced gardeners, and professional agronomists know that the harvest depends not only on fertilizers and weather, but also a little on the Moon.
This is probably why the gardener's and vegetable grower's lunar calendar exists, otherwise they would have stopped using it long ago.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, reminded about the timing of planting cucumbers according to the lunar calendar.
When to sow cucumbers
Cucumbers are no less heat-loving plants than representatives of the nightshade family.
The main indicator for planting is air temperature (+15 +16) and soil temperature (+16 +18 degrees Celsius).
But the phases of the moon cannot be ignored.
In April
If the weather permits, you can make it in the last days of April.
The best days are considered to be April 23, 26, 27, and also April 29 and 30.
