Sowing calendar: February 2034

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.

Leaf day lettuce, cabbage, spinach, dill, parsley, herbs
