Landing dates
It is worth planting carrots in open ground after the snow has completely melted and the earth has dried. The main condition is warm weather. The outdoor temperature should exceed +15 ° C, and the ground should warm up to at least +7 ° C. Such weather conditions occur in mid-spring. In the southern regions of Russia, planting can begin at the end of March. It is worth noting that each variety requires a specific planting time. Seeds that can be stored until winter should be planted no earlier than May.
With regard to planting in a greenhouse, the planting time will depend on its characteristics. If the greenhouse is heated, you can start planting at the end of winter. In a greenhouse without heating, but with thermal insulation, sowing begins in March. If there is no heating, and the greenhouse is on the ground, sowing should not be carried out earlier than May.
In order to dig up juicy beets or carrots, pay attention to favorable planting days:
- March: 3, 10, 21, 27, 29;
- April: 1, 3, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22;
- May: 9, 11, 13, 14, 17.

Culture care
It is best to take care of root crops on days when the moon is under the signs of Taurus, Scorpio or Capricorn. On these days, you can dig weeds or thin out the ground. Fertilization is necessary on the days of Pisces, Capricorn or Scorpio. As for watering, it must be carried out every day, regardless of the position of the moon, so as not to harm the seeds. Particular attention should be paid to carrots in the days of Aquarius, since the likelihood of drought is high.
It is better not to carry out any activities in the garden when the moon is under the sign of Aries. Gemini are great weeding days. It is strictly forbidden to replant and plant seeds when the Leo phase begins. You can protect crops from pests in 2020 during the days of the Virgin. For root crops, choose Scorpio or Libra days. You need to harvest only on the growing moon, preferably when it is in Aries or Virgo.
Harvest
Harvesting time depends not only on the lunar calendar. The early varieties are always harvested in early spring. The collection of varieties intended for storage in the fall is carried out towards the end of spring. Astrologers say that it is not recommended to carry out any work on the full moon and new moon. Carrots extracted from the soil lose nutrients. If harvesting occurs on a new or full moon, the roots are affected by magnetic fields, which force the carrots to wither and age faster.
The readiness of the fruit for collection is determined by the lower leaves on the tops. If they turn yellow, the carrots are ripe. Vegetables that will be eaten in winter are harvested no earlier than September. Late ripening varieties should also not be picked early. They need to be kept in the ground longer, even in unfavorable weather. Remember that carrots are cold-resistant, so they will ripen even at low temperatures. If you want to store carrots for a long time, never pick them in the heat.
Landing before winter
Root crops are planted before winter in order to harvest an early harvest. This procedure is carried out in the fall or spring. This method can only be practiced in mild winter conditions.Seeds planted in the fall are hardened at low temperatures, so they become more resistant to frost. They are saturated with moisture, so you should expect a good harvest.
In order to harvest a good harvest, it is necessary to plant carrots before winter after the first frost. Typically, these conditions occur at the end of October. If planting is done earlier, the seeds will freeze.
For sowing, it is better to choose the days of the waning moon. It is necessary to refrain from gardening work on the days of the full moon and new moon. Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn are considered auspicious signs. If you plant closer to the full moon, the vegetables will quickly grow, and by the new moon the roots will spread out in width.
If you follow the lunar calendar, you can harvest a rich harvest of tasty and juicy carrots. Pay attention to the dates that are categorically not suitable for any work in the garden next year.
In March, it is not worth working on the ground on the 1st, 3rd, 14th, 17th, 19th, 22nd, 25th and 31st. In April, unfavorable days should be attributed to 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 28, 29, 30. In May, it is better not to work in the garden 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 9, 12, 13 and 16 numbers. In especially cold regions, it is worth focusing not only on the lunar calendar, but also on the readiness of the soil, as well as temperature conditions.
