Sowing calendar: February 2032

When to sow and plant in February? 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
Fruit day tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, peas, strawberries, fruit trees
Flower day flowers, broccoli, cauliflower, flowering bulbs
