- Plants that bear fruit from the first quarter to full moon,
- Root vegetables and perennials from full to last quarter.
In the period from the last quarter to the new moon, refrain from planting. During these days, focus on cleaning up the garden, removing weeds from flower beds and beds. Prune shrubs and trees from the last quarter to the new moon when the groundwater is receding.

April is the best time to prepare the soil for sowing decorative flowers. These are worth planting between April 4 and 7. In the third week, from April 13 to 20, tidy up the beds and beds, remove weeds.

Between May 24 and May 27, you can plant fruit crops such as corn, tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers, in the last days of May, in turn, take care of root crops.
