When not to plant a garden: what folk omens say
To achieve a generous and tasty harvest, you should take care of fertilizing the soil in advance. There are universal fertilizers that will help saturate plants with nutrients - manure, compost, peat, ash, etc. Mineral fertilizers can be added to organic fertilizers to enhance their effect. You shouldn't forget about the right companionship: it's better not to plant peppers next to legumes, and potatoes in the same bed as nightshades.
However, along with general advice, there are also folk signs. For example, corn has long been sown when the cherries blossomed. And carrots were soaked early in the morning, before sunrise, so that large and sweet fruits would grow. Read more about garden signs in the OBOZREVATEL article.
