Zucchini marinated for the winter with onions, peppers and physalis - a light, savory, vegetable appetizer-assorted. Zucchini is a neutral vegetable, it perfectly absorbs various tastes and smells.

Soil is not just a habitat for plants. Along with carbon dioxide, light and water, it is a vital element, without which most plants cannot survive.

Effect of lunar phases on plants

It is no secret that the Moon influences life processes depending on how far it is from our planet (because its movement in orbit around the Earth is caused by an approach, then a distance from the earth's surface) and how strongly it “hides” in the earth’s shadow , that is, in what phase the moon is. During periods when lunar activity is strongest, the full moon and the new moon, any manipulations with plants are better.

Fresh articles about the garden

The reason is the following: a new moon is a period when the vital forces of a plant are most passive, their movement is slowed down, the plant is in a “inhibited” phase, which makes it poorly adapted to any change. If at this time it is transplanted or perform any other action, then, most likely, it simply does not adapt and will wither. Full moon produces a similar effect, the only difference is that the vital energy of the plant at this moment reaches its peak. The plant perceives all actions aggressively, poorly adapts to changes in the environment, practically does not take root in a new place and rejects any innovations.

Favorable harvest days from the undergroundjanuary 12 to January 22   January 1 and from January 18 to January 31

This period follows immediately after the new moon and consists of two quarters (phases), the first and the second. The first quarter lasts about 7 days, the second just over 7 days and ends with a full moon. First phase  It continues from the new moon when the moon is not in the sky until a small thin sickle month appears and grows to the size of a half disk, with the convex side pointing to the right. Second phase  - from a wide month to a full moon, when a fully illuminated Moon is visible in the sky.

Plant juices and nutrients under the influence of the attraction of the moon begin to move upwards.

The growing moon period is favorable for planting trees, shrubs and flowers. It is good to plant plants, plant plants whose crop is above ground level. It is ideal to make such landings immediately after the end of the new moon, at the beginning of the first phase.

In general, the growing moon period is favorable for:

• Landing plants which develops and produces a crop  : salads, strawberries, shrubs, trees and the like.
• Sowing seeds, planting seedlings of green, fruit, melons and gourds.
• Planting and transplanting trees and shrubs.
• Tillage, dressing, watering.
• Grafting and re-grafting, harvesting cuttings.
• Preparations for the future, fermentation of house wine, salting and pickling.

The period of the waning moon begins after the full moon and lasts until the new moon. This period is divided into 2 parts called 3 and 4 quarters. The period of the waning moon lasts about 11-12 days. Plant juices and activity under the influence of the forces of attraction of the moon and the sun gradually return to the roots. They become more sensitive, but the branches - on the contrary. This is beneficial for planting and feeding root crops, pruning, gathering root crops and some of the works listed below. Flowers cut during this period are long, and roots are stored for a long time.
