Sowing calendar: November 2027

When to sow and plant in November? 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.

Root day carrots, beetroot, potatoes, onions, garlic, radishes
Leaf day lettuce, cabbage, spinach, dill, parsley, herbs
