The long-awaited spring is entering its third and final month. The number of days off pleases working gardeners who are planning Napoleonic plans to work on the ground in order to meet the summer with dignity. Let us recall the experience gained by people in observing nature so that meeting with the days of May does not bring unexpected surprises
Four days off
Starting from April 30, or even from the evening of April 29, lines of cars will stretch along the roads leading to summer cottages. After all, 4 days off in a row is just happiness for gardeners who can't wait to touch the ground, to their plants, also rejoicing in the arrival of spring, warmth and light.
Before starting to work on the beds
1st of May, you should gather all household members, arm them with branches and arrange a round dance around any maypole, expelling evil spirits from your territory with the help of branches.
The patron saint of gardeners, Kozma, on this day gives the go-ahead for sowing beets and carrots, and therefore after a round dance, you can start sowing and preparing beds for other vegetables.
May 2 those who are unlucky enough to be born on this day can continue to prepare the beds. The birthday people should be released from work and sent for a walk, dressed in bright clothes dominated by green and yellow. Such clothes will protect them from the evil eye, and the walk will be joyful and carefree.
After 2-3 days of shock work, you can take a break, devoting
May 3 visiting the graves of loved ones, not longing that today they are not with us, but remembering with gratitude the time when they were near.
Three days off
Having worked hard on the beds, 2 full and one shortened day, you should thoroughly rest at the workplace, because there are 3 more days off ahead.
the 6th of May you need to ask Egoriy Veshniy to awaken the earth from hibernation and make the morning dew as warm as fresh milk. Those who have livestock are driven out into the field on this day, asking Yegoriy to look after her.
May 7 - a certain line between winter and summer, after which 12 more belated frosts may occur, so gardeners should be on the lookout.
If
May 8 the day will be sunny, which means you can expect a good harvest in the garden and in the fields with wheat. This means that no Western sanctions will break us, since there will be enough bread.
9th May at a family dinner, let us remember everyone who gave us the opportunity to live and work on our beautiful land.
The next days in May
This will be followed by the usual working weeks with trips to the country for a couple of days. And only professional farmers will prepare fields for grain crops, sow oats (May 11).
11 the same
May birches generously share their healing sap with a person in order to add strength to sick and weak people.
On Jacob's day (may 13) a warm evening and a cloudless sky full of stars predict a rainy and fruitful summer. If the next day is clear, then the bread will be rich and will be removed in time to the bins. If the sky is covered with clouds and it rains, then the coming winter will force you to dress warmer.
May 15 the Russian "ptah", the nightingale, sings its songs sweetly. On this day, spitting on the land of the nurse was considered a shameful thing, and it was also worth waiting until the next day with the garbage being taken to the landfill.
16th of May, middle of the month, Day of the Moors of the thrush. The cows begin to give more milk, and the housewives boil cabbage soup with fresh nettles.
WITH
May 18 begin to plant vegetable seedlings. The first to go to the garden is white cabbage, which will grow more successfully if it is planted not silently, but saying: "Grow pot-bellied, grow rich."
May 19 the turn of cucumbers comes up. In addition, this day is famous for healing dew, smoothing wrinkles on the face and hardening bare feet.
22nd of May they plant our "second bread" - potatoes, and the next day they celebrate the name day of the Earth.
May 24 show the world their blue-eyed cute Forget-me-not flowers, and after them the Rowan red is covered with white inflorescences. Of those who were born
May 25th late happiness awaits.
May 27 cold north winds blow for the last time before the summer heat.
May 31 - Day of Fedot, the patron saint of the oak. On this day, the heroes of the Russian land were born. And the weak, leaning against a tree, asked him to share his health.
