February is the time for sowing late-ripening crops, primarily including vegetables from the nightshade family.
Other vegetables for an early harvest, as well as ornamental plants, are also sown on these days, but with an eye on the lunar calendar.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told which days in February sowing will have to be postponed.
Unfavorable days
Everyone knows that there are favorable and unfavorable days for sowing seeds for seedlings.
It doesn’t matter whether we are talking about berry, vegetable or ornamental crops.
It is believed that seedlings sown during these days, even if they sprout, will cause a lot of trouble.
Let us remember that the most unfavorable period for farmers in this regard is the new moon period.
Three days in February
Even if you really want to, you need to put off all gardening work during these three February days.
The new moon this month falls on the 9th.
But sowing will not be beneficial either on the eve and after the new moon, that is, on February 8 and 10.
Experts do not recommend disturbing the seedlings and plants in any way at this time.
Therefore, you need to be careful when watering and moving seedlings.
