Cancer is considered the most fertile sign of the zodiac. Plants planted on this day will be particularly productive, but due to the large number of delicious and juicy fruits, taller crops will need additional support and support. It is important to note that the harvested crops are not suitable for long term storage and are not suitable for seed. During this time you can be involved in soaking and sowing, loosening, watering, fertilising, grafting, preparing medicinal herbs, canning, drying and other types of processing of harvested berries, vegetables and fruit.
It is a day of peace and tranquillity, so it is better to refuse from Stakhanov labour records today. You can devote your free time to planting root crops and legumes, destroying pests, weeding, trimming the whiskers of garden strawberries, corrective pruning of fruit and berry trees and shrubs. Moderate watering and root fertilising with organic fertilisers is allowed. A good time to make homemade preparations. If possible, avoid picking seedlings and pinching vegetable plants in the greenhouse.
The middle of the descending lunar cycle is a good time to sow root crops. They will grow safely, will not turn into arrows, and will produce a rich and high-quality harvest.
Monday is favoured by the Moon, so rely more on your intuition. Do what your inner voice tells you to do, trust it completely today. If it tells you to weed all the ridges, well, you'll have to do that tedious job, and if it asks you to limit yourself to watering the plants under your control, then you won't have to do anything else.
