It's time to prepare for a new planting season in 2016. Now just the time when the active varieties of winter varieties are being actively prepared, it will be possible to plant onion, garlic and other crops, which will be harvested next year.

The main task is to plan the future sowing and agricultural lands in such a way as to obtain the maximum yield even in lean years. In this regard, the planting calendar for 2016, which has absorbed long-term agronomy, will help.

In general, the planting calendar for 2015 focuses on the general features of the annual lunar cycle, which has a significant impact on the vital functions of plants. It is considered:
- Fish, Cancer and Scorpio are fertile signs;
- Capricorn, Taurus, Libra and Sagittarius to signs of average fertility;
- Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo and Virgo to infertile signs.
Of course, it is impossible to attribute, for example, the whole of February, which is under the influence of Aquarius, to an infertile period. When the sowing lunar calendar is calculated for a certain year (in this case for 2015), a number of indices and parameters of the influence of the moon on the plant during the vegetative period are taken into account. The basic data is given in the table.

Features and productivity of 2016
Agrotechnics draw the attention of farmers, truck farmers and gardeners to the following features of 2015. According to the weather forecasts, the winter 2014-2015 will be long and abundantly snowy, while the temperature will rarely drop below -5-8 ° С.
At the end of March 2015, heavy snowfalls with thaws are expected. The real spring is to be expected in April, we will remind, Easter in 2015 - on April, 12th, during this period the luxuriant flowering of trees, growth of foliage and greens will begin. A warm summer and an abundance of rains suggests a good harvest.
Accordingly, using the lunar seed calendar proposed for truck farmers, in February-March 2015 it is recommended to sow seedlings at home or in greenhouses and hotbeds.

If you look at the sowing calendar for April and May 2015, you can see the usual pattern: before the Passover, that is, in the first half of April, seeds of garden greens can be sown - parsley, spinach, lettuce, celery, dill, green onions, etc. After Easter, you need to plant root crops, squash and pumpkin. In April, it is not recommended to transplant tomatoes, and it is better to plant sunflower on Easter days or early in May.
In early May, also planted cucumbers, but it is necessary to trace the end of the spring "morning" (frosts). All other agrometeorological activities are already worthwhile in the second half of May, respectively, the harvest will be quite late, especially for tomatoes, so a greenhouse cultivation of tomatoes is recommended to collect early varieties in 2015.

In 2015, you can expect a good harvest of cucumbers in June and late in the autumn. In order for cucumbers to give birth longer in the summer, they will have to be rejuvenated.
Seeding calendar for July 2016
In July, sowing crops are produced for autumn, to obtain a second crop in greenhouses or open areas for the next year. July is the time when the harvest began. In this case, the sowing calendar for July 2015 is again quite favorable. At the beginning of the month, you can plant zucchini, patissons and tomatoes in the autumn, in the second half of turnips and ruby, garlic. But the cucumbers, as the calendar says, are better for planting in the beginning of August. In July, planted garden greens to obtain a second crop.
