To make it easier for summer residents to determine “good” and “bad” planting days, the “Lunar Sowing Calendar of Gardeners and Gardeners for April 2017” was compiled. Look into it more often, put it into practice and get an additional harvest.

Spring work in the garden
Already at the beginning of the month, it is necessary to harrow the soil dug up in the fall as quickly as possible, sow early vegetables, install temporary film covers, sow fast-growing cold-resistant (mustard, phacelia) green manure in the beds that will be occupied by heat-loving vegetables.
Now they sell collapsible greenhouses of various sizes. They are installed over the prepared bed in a few minutes. You can simply cover the bed with a frame covered with film, or insulate the area with film on the arches.
The simplest shelter will allow radishes, lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions sown with nigella, and kohlrabi to sprout earlier than in open beds. Seeds of cold-resistant crops begin to germinate at low positive temperatures, but if the microclimate is warmed by several degrees, seedlings will appear faster and plants will develop more actively.
In addition to the hints of the Lunar sowing calendar, gardeners use hints from nature:
They begin to sow in open beds in April, when crocuses bloom in the garden.
A small greenhouse can be equipped for sowing seeds and picking tomato seedlings. You can sow dry tomato seeds directly into the garden bed and cover the arches with film. The result will be low film tunnels that will provide favorable conditions for friendly shoots and at first will protect the seedlings from changes in April weather. On warm days, such shelters can be slightly opened or removed, accustoming the tomatoes to direct sunlight and wind, and in May they can be removed altogether.
The birch trees have turned green - we are planting potatoes.
At the beginning of the month, we continue to prepare potatoes for planting: while inspecting the tubers, we remove diseased, unsprouted ones with thread-like sprouts.
Some summer residents germinate cleanly washed tubers in plastic bags, having previously made holes in them. In more humid conditions, not only eyes, but also roots begin to develop on the tubers. It’s just important not to break off both during transportation and landing.
When warm weather sets in (the birch trees turn green), we plant potatoes, even if the eyes of the tubers have not reached the required centimeter length: the tubers become more active in the soil faster.
First daffodils for early cabbage
In the second half of April, we plant hardened seedlings of cabbage - Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi - into the beds. You can navigate by the flowering of early daffodils growing in the sun. In cool weather, cabbage takes root well and begins to intensively grow leaves. In case of severe cold weather, it is necessary to provide temporary cover for plants with non-woven material or film.
When the soil in the greenhouses at a depth of 10 cm warms up to 14 degrees, we plant tomato seedlings in unheated greenhouses. To plant seedlings or sow cucumber seeds, we will wait for warmer weather. Cold soil is fraught with root rot for these heat-loving plants.
If the soil in the greenhouse has not been changed for a long time, it is generously moistened with extrasol solution: 10 g (tbsp.) per 10 liters of water, consumption - 7-8 liters of working solution per square meter. m. This helps populate the soil with beneficial microflora and suppress pathogenic ones.
Around the middle of the month, at home or in a greenhouse, we sow the seeds of cucumbers and zucchini in separate cups, so that in May we can plant the not overgrown seedlings in open ground.
We plant seedlings of nightshade plants (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants) for open ground, feed them (1 g of complex fertilizer per liter of water), and begin to harden them in the open air. In April, it is not too late to sow tomatoes as seedlings - in small cassettes or cups, so that in May (without picking) they can be planted in open ground.
We try not to spoil the seedlings that have begun to outgrow: we lower the temperature (open the windows or take the plants out onto the loggia), water less, do not feed with nitrogen, and improve the lighting.
At the end of the month, we dig up green manure (both overwintered and sown in spring) in areas allocated for planting seedlings of heat-loving crops.
Lunar calendars for the following months:
In April, we will not witness any negative aspects between the higher planets, which gives hope that the month may turn out to be more or less calm, without any serious events that would affect health. However, in the first half of the month the Sun will build up to the negative configurations that took place in previous months.
This may mean that even if you don’t have new health problems now, it is possible that problems from the past will bother you. Unpleasant consequences may make themselves felt, or you will again feel some unpleasant symptoms.
Health and general condition: what can we expect from April 2017?
In the first half of the month (until April 11), the Moon will be in its waxing phase, but there will be no increase in vitality and the usual accumulation of energy that can be spent to the fullest at this time. This is due to the negative aspects of the Sun, which is responsible for vitality and energy.For most of the month, the Sun will move through the active and cheerful sign of Aries, however, negative aspects can lead to greater impulsiveness, a tendency to aggression and irrepressibility. At this time it is very easy to overestimate your capabilities. For example, after too intense training, some problems may make themselves felt.
Aries needs everything at once, and with a low energy level this can result in extremely undesirable consequences. It is especially dangerous now to reload yourself physically, since exhaustion will not take long to occur. Save your energy, because after the full moon (April 11), energy may not be enough for many things.
April 5-9– your irrepressibility can play a cruel joke and negatively affect your health. If you do not comply with the measure in nutrition, sports, sleep or intimate life, expect adverse consequences!
April 10-14– these days there may be some unexpected events that are related to health. For example, an old illness may suddenly make itself known, or you may learn something unexpected about your health.
This aspect does not give rise to particularly serious problems, but in any case you should be prepared for the unexpected. These days, your usual life may undergo some changes. For example, your usual schedule may be disrupted, insomnia may appear, or you will need to change something in your environment, which your body may not like very much.
These days there will also be a full moon, and this may increase aggressiveness. The likelihood of quarrels and conflicts will increase, emotions will run high. This is the busiest time of the entire month.
In addition to the Sun, it is worth paying attention to the position of Venus - the planet that this month gives a bad mood, problems in your personal life, various griefs and dissatisfaction. This can also have an adverse effect on your physical condition.
Astrological forecast for the month
What diseases are at greatest risk now? In the first half of the month, many may be plagued by poor health, fatigue, low energy, and may not have enough strength to even do basic things. It will be especially difficult for older people suffering from heart disease at this time. The change of seasons is always a time of crisis for you, and now especially!However, with such negative aspects of the Sun, everyone should be careful with their hearts! Even if you are healthy, it is better to take care and not overload your heart, for example, with serious aerobic exercise.
This month, the likelihood of colds increases, and problems with the kidneys, thyroid gland, and hormones are also possible. Attacks of the blues and sadness can cause a decrease in tone, a depressed state, leading to depression. If you are prone to seasonal depression, be especially careful, since in April there is a high probability of these unpleasant conditions appearing.
Who should fear for their health in April 2017? Colds are more likely to occur Taurus, Cancer and Leo. Also Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and Capricorn may experience symptoms of old and chronic diseases. Although negative aspects of the Sun can indicate heart problems, it is more worth worrying about Gemini and Aquarius. This month you should be more attentive to your health Cancer. The health of this zodiac sign will be especially seriously affected by the negative astrological factors of this month.
Calendar of favorable days in April 2017
When is the best time to have surgery in April 2017? This month we do not recommend plastic surgery. Fortunately, this type of surgery is usually not urgent and can be rescheduled for better days.When is the best time to start treatment in April 2017? In April we will witness another turn of Mercury into retrograde motion. This will happen on April 10th and the planet will be very slow for the entire month. This may be unfavorable for any paperwork, as well as for testing before starting treatment. The fact is that on retro Mercury there are often errors in documents due to inattention; analyzes may turn out to be incorrect or your documents may simply disappear. If you really need treatment, of course, you shouldn’t delay starting it. It all depends on what exactly you are treating, but in general a good time to start treatment is favorable days according to the lunar calendar: April 5, 14, 17, 20 and 27.
When is the best time to start the weight loss process in April 2017? This month may pose the problem of losing weight especially acutely. And it’s not just that it’s spring and summer is approaching, when you want to show off a toned and slender figure. Due to the negative aspects of Venus, the struggle with excess weight can result in health problems for many.
We advise you not to take drastic measures to lose weight, for example, not to sharply cut down on your diet, not to go on strict diets, not to start exercising intensely after a long break, etc.
For your own benefit, it is better to take everything gradually. Start replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones, and start walking more before the full moon - April 7, 8. during the days of the waning moon (April 11-25), gradually increase your loads, and do not eat carbohydrates at all for dinner!

On the 6th lunar day, intuition sharpens greatly: something that was previously underestimated or misunderstood may be revealed to you. It is recommended to practice pranayama and work with odors, because only in the upper respiratory tract, as well as in the tops of the lungs, the process of transformation of cosmic energy - prana - occurs. When the sky is clear or completely covered with clouds, it means the world is devoid of harmony.
Divination. For all.
Dreams. If you dreamed about someone you know, it’s no accident: you owe him something. Dreams may hint at some task that needs to be completed.
