Sowing calendar: June 2027

When to sow and plant in June? Folk tradition uses the Moon’s phase and zodiac sign: above-ground crops are sown during the waxing Moon and root crops during the waning Moon. The sign defines the day type: root, leaf, fruit or flower. These traditions are not scientifically proven.

Most favourable days

Root day carrots, beetroot, potatoes, onions, garlic, radishes
Leaf day lettuce, cabbage, spinach, dill, parsley, herbs
Fruit day tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, peas, strawberries, fruit trees
Flower day flowers, broccoli, cauliflower, flowering bulbs
