Lunar sowing calendar for planting gardeners and gardeners for September 2024

For many people, the end of summer is associated with the harvest. There is a feeling that the summer season has come to an end and it is time to relax. September is the month when pre-planned transplants or pre-winter plantings of some crops are carried out. In order to choose the right dates for work, gardeners and gardeners use the lunar calendar for September 2024.

Moon phases in September 2024

Every month the lunar body makes a set move. During this time, the condition of the Moon gradually changes. It consists of 4 sequential phases:

1. New Moon, which falls on September 28th. This is a state that is characterized by the presence of the luminary in a straight line between the Sun and the Earth. During the New Moon, the luminary is not visible in the sky.
2. The full moon that occurs on September 14th. When the Full Moon occurs, the luminary becomes fully illuminated.
3. The growth of the star continues from September 1 to 13. This period is divided into 2 quarters. The first quarter is marked by the appearance of a narrow strip of the new star; by the second quarter it takes on its full form.
4. The decline of the luminary lasts from 15 to 27. During this time, the disk turns from full to a narrow strip.

The influence of the moon phase on planting

According to the collected research data, the cyclicity of the Moon is closely related to the development of plants. The phases correspond to certain periods:

• intensive growth, as well as the development of the above-ground parts of plants, is observed during the Waxing Moon;
• the increase, further active development of tubers or root parts coincides with the waning of the Moon;
• During the Full Moon or New Moon, a slowdown in growth is observed.

Cyclicity is taken into account when carrying out planned work. The days when a new or full moon appears are used to give plants a rest; these periods are called dormant periods.

Zodiac signs in September

In September, the New Moon falls during the period of dominance of the Virgo sign. The full moon falls during the primacy of the sign of Pisces. Periods of growth and decline occur in the remaining signs of the Zodiac.

Lunar sowing and planting calendar by day for September 2024

Gardeners and gardeners are guided by information systematized by the lunar planting and sowing calendar. Using it, you can determine the most suitable dates for planting, as well as days when it is not recommended to replant adult crops or sow seeds.

Favorable

The appropriate dates for sowing radish seeds, Chinese cabbage, and lettuce in greenhouses differ from the dates intended for planting perennial flowers or shrub crops.

Unfavorable periods

Periods of rest or rest are considered to be the dates on which the New Moon and Full Moon fall, as well as a few days after them: 14,27,28,29.

When to replant plants in September

To transplant shrubs and perennial plants, use the periods when the moon enters the active stage of growth. This period of time falls on the first half of September. The soil remains warm and receptive to cultivation; before frost sets in, the plants have time to fully adapt and take new roots.

Information! In the first week of September, it is customary to divide and replant perennial plants in a new place.

What work to do this month

September is suitable for certain types of work. The air remains warm, the ground can be dug up freely during the day, but at night a little frost begins to appear, and dew falls in the morning.

Dry, clear days are suitable for disinfecting premises for storing crops and vegetable preparations. Basements or cellars are ventilated and treated with special means. Harvested medicinal plants are dried under sheds and vegetables are prepared for further storage.

Particular importance is given to the preparation of compost, which is left in pits for further ripening. To do this, the mown grass is laid on the prepared layer. When frost occurs, the compote is covered with film and boards.

The beginning of the month is suitable for the first stage of autumn fertilization. Mineral compounds with a high content of phosphorus and potassium are added, which will saturate the soil and make it more fertile for spring planting.

In the garden

Preparatory work is carried out in the gardens, and replanting activities are also carried out:

• prepare pits for replanting;
• carry out pruning of dry branches;
• remove overgrown mustaches of strawberries or remontant strawberries;
• carry out transplantation of berry bushes;
• fertilize berry bushes with mineral fertilizers;
• treat bushes against pests or diseases.

Information! Garden replanting work, which accompanies the propagation of perennial coniferous trees, is carried out in the second half of September.

In the garden

Garden work includes harvesting. This applies to late varieties of crops that were planted in the second half of summer. For further harvesting, carrots, beets, onions, and tomatoes are removed. The harvest and sorting of seed potatoes for spring planting are traditionally planned for September. Onions are dug up before the rains to dry the bulbs in dry, clear weather.

After harvesting, work is carried out on the site:

• tillage of the land taking into account pre-winter crops;
• sowing green manure;
• plowing;
• digging up the earth;
• fertilizing the land with compost for spring ripening;
• carrying out measures to cultivate the land in order to destroy pests that go deep into the soil for the winter.

In the greenhouse

Greenhouse plantings will allow you to harvest a small harvest after the onset of autumn frosts. Greens, cabbage, and some types of vegetables are planted under the film.

Greenhouse conditions are suitable for planting celery, lettuce, parsley, and basil. Choose early ripening varieties that have time to grow before the second half of October.

Reference! By the end of September, they plan to transplant chard, peppers, and bush parsley to grow on the windowsill.

After harvesting the crops, the greenhouses are treated with prepared compounds to protect against the proliferation of pests and mold. By the end of the month, the greenhouses are warmed up and any cracks found are repaired.

Features of agricultural work in different areas

The work depends not only on the periods indicated by the lunar calendar, but also on the characteristics of the climatic zone:

1. In the northern regions, harvesting work is planned for the first week of September. Site preparation is carried out during the first half of the month to prevent the impact of low temperatures on crops.
2. The Krasnodar Territory and adjacent southern territories are characterized by high air temperatures during the day, which persist throughout September, so harvesting and site preparation work is postponed to the second half of the month.

In autumn, it is customary to perform pre-winter watering. This is the last step to moisten the soil. The moisture received will be the only source for crops planted for the winter. This procedure is planned depending on the temperature indicators of the region. If the territory is characterized by low temperatures in the second half of the month, then pre-winter watering is planned earlier.

Information! For the Krasnodar Territory and adjacent southern territories, pre-winter watering is postponed to October, as air temperatures remain high until the end of the month.

Tips for gardeners

Transplants and site treatment activities are carried out in accordance with the influences of the moon’s cycles. This promotes intensive growth of planted plants, and also guarantees rapid adaptation for transplanted shrubs or perennial flower crops.
