Signs and superstitions of gardeners and gardeners
Good afternoon dear friends! I have been engaged in semi-professional gardening for more than 15 years and have achieved considerable success in this matter. Often, signs and superstitions in our business play a big role in order to get a good harvest, here I have collected a small selection of signs that I follow in my area. Friends, if you have anything to add, please write here, this is very important for me - thanks in advance!
Thanks a lot. I don’t entirely believe in superstitions and omens, but I always look at the lunar calendar when planting seedlings.
I also once didn’t believe in anything, but the experience of gardening made me believe in it. You know, I don’t really want to work and not get a return in the form of a decent harvest. By the way, the lunar calendar and superstitions are two different things.
I think everyone knows this sign (or superstition) that a plant that has been stolen takes root and grows best! I heard this sign as a child from my grandmother... It may seem funny, but this sign came true for me. Once in the hospital I broke off a small shoot from a cactus that I really liked. This cactus has been growing with me for ten years and has surpassed the size of all my other prickly pets...
I’ve heard about this more than once, but I thought that it’s good, for example, a cactus, you can steal or some other plant, a single format. But what about, for example, seedlings for tomatoes or other mass crops? Rob a neighbor? )))))
This is not a sign at all. Experienced gardeners know from folk signs when there will be frosts, for example, if the mountain ash has bloomed, it means that there will definitely be no frosts this summer.
If a tree or shrub does not bear fruit, I threaten to cut it down. To be sure, I knock on the trunk with an ax. The fruits appear so cute. The most interesting thing is that this stupidity works not only for me, but also for my neighbors.
I heard that you can’t distribute seedlings from your garden left and right. It seems like they get offended and first stop bearing fruit, and then disappear altogether. By the way, this happened with strawberries. Everyone in the area was surprised by our strawberries (large, sweet) and asked for a few roots for propagation. No one was turned away. As a result, they themselves were left without berries.
The main and mandatory sign of a gardener/gardener is to combine planting seeds for seedlings and planting plants in the ground with the lunar calendar. It is important. It is useless to plant in June. It’s not for nothing that there is a saying: “June is a big deal.” Nothing planted in June will be productive! Nothing...
You shouldn't be talking about June like that. Here on Sakhalin, May is cold, the snow only melted in the middle, so almost all crops were planted in the ground in early June.And they collected excellent (by Sakhalin standards) harvests.
My grandmother also taught me that you shouldn’t give away leftover seedlings to neighbors and friends. I destroy everything that I haven’t planted at home or sell it on the market to strangers who cannot envy my harvest.
The main sign is that when planting, do everything correctly and in accordance with experience and existing research. This is my main point. Everything else, it seems to me, is just superstition that doesn’t work.
Hello everyone, guys, help me lend some roses, my friend and I bet on a box of cognac, a tomato, a berry or a vegetable? I tell him that it’s a vegetable, but he insisted that it’s a berry, even in this article, a fruit or a vegetable?, https://fermer.blog/bok/ogorod/tomaty/1312-pomidor-jeto-jagoda-frukt-ili-ovoshh. html we've been filming for 3 days already
I have several personal “gardening” superstitions that I personally noticed:
1. You can’t praise your plants in front of someone - they will definitely start to wither.
2. You can’t swear in the garden, even just shouting in the garden is not advisable - everything languishes.
3. I do not allow relatives to help me with planting, pruning and even harvesting; plants love one owner.
4. You need to share the harvest, then it will give birth to even more, I always give “gifts” to the neighbors, apparently, someone’s gratitude and good words have a beneficial effect on the plants.
