In the first days of March, summer residents open a hot sowing season. The calendar of landing days in the form of a table will help you plan the list of works correctly. In March 2021, the Earth’s satellite favors vegetable growers: there are many favorable days in the calendar for working with land and plants.
Lunar phases and their impact
Two planets of the solar system actively affect not only the life of people, but also the development of plants. Ancient farmers, not knowing all the modern tricks of growing plants, knew how to get a rich harvest if you strictly adhere to the lunar calendar.
Already at the beginning of the last century, scientists noted that during the new moon, the consumption of moisture by plants is noticeably reduced. Therefore, you should not be too zealous with watering these days. The gravitational forces of the Sun and moon reunite during the new moon and depress the root system. Weeding, loosening, transplanting, pruning, and harvesting are not recommended during this phase.
On a growing moon, energy moves from the roots to the top of the plants. The plant actively absorbs water, gives shoots. On these days, it is good to sow seeds of leafy crops, apply fertilizers. Not abundant watering, surface loosening is allowed.
On the waning moon, the reverse processes occur. Therefore, it is recommended to weed out weeds, cut off stepchildren, harvest crops, plant root crops, propagate perennial flowers, and carry out preventive treatments.
During the full moon, all the energy is collected in the upper part of the plant (stems, flowers, fruits). The following works will be useful: watering, fertilizing, and removing weeds. Remove side shoots is not recommended, swordplay, nipping, transplant.
You can determine the phase of the lunar cycle by looking at the sky. The waning Moon is similar to the letter C, growing in a semicircle from the letter P, at full moon-a full disk is visible, and at new moon — the satellite of the Earth is hidden from view.

Unfavorable days in March
A few days in March 2021 are considered extremely unfavorable. Work with plants and seeds can not be scheduled from March 12 to March 16 and 19. On Saturday, March 13, there is a new Moon, and for the next four days (14,15,16,19), the Moon will be in non-fertile zodiac signs. Plants planted on these days will be weak, sickly and will not produce a good harvest.
“Bad ” days can be devoted to preparing containers for sowing seeds: disinfect last year’s pots, make drainage holes. In March, it’s time to sort out the stocks of planting material, prepare stickers with the names of varieties, and draw up a map of the location of crops on the site.
