The period from May 6 to May 9 is the time of the full moon, and therefore the sowing calendar does not recommend carrying out the corresponding work with plants.

However, during this period you can engage in loosening and digging the soil.

In addition, the expert points out, these days you can weed and prepare equipment for work in the following period.

She noted: from May 10 to 13 is a good time for sowing vegetables, planting flowers, berry bushes and grapes.

And also, according to the lunar calendar, it is recommended to transplant seedlings into the garden, sow strawberries and wild strawberries.

According to the expert, additional feeding and watering will not hurt, which will ensure a good harvest.

But you shouldn't use pesticides, otherwise you can harm the plants.
