🥕 ROOT DAYS
These days are favorable for growing root crops.
During the waning moon in Virgo, early root crops should be harvested and stored. New potatoes can be dug up, provided the weather is not damp. It's best to eat the harvested crop immediately, and dig up the potatoes for storage later (late August-September).
Not recommended
It's best to do preserving during the fruiting season, so the pickles will be delicious. For example, cucumbers pickled on the rooting day are hollow and moldy.

🌼 FLOWER DAYS
It's recommended to tend to your flower garden, and you can pick flowers for bouquets (flowers cut during these days are more fragrant and last longer). You can also gather oilseeds and medicinal herbs (calendula, mint, knotweed, elecampane, etc.).
Since the Moon is waning and in Libra, you can prune flowering trees and shrubs (if the branches are slightly affected by diseases), as well as roses (cut young shoots right to the root, deepening below the soil, and remove dried blossoms). If necessary, collect and plant cuttings of shrubby cinquefoil and rhododendron (they will have time to root).
During the waning moon, it is recommended to make compost and cultivate the soil (but not during the wet period).
The August harvest can be collected.
Not recommended
The moon is waxing now, meaning the soil can absorb less moisture than during the waning phase. Therefore, applying fertilizer (especially inorganic root fertilizers) can pollute groundwater. Avoid this.

Lunar Node – unfavorable periodRelax today!
The maximum time you can devote to leafy plants (for example, watering cabbage, loosening the soil) is from 09:38 to 11:30, but not later than this time.
Not recommended
Today, no gardening or other horticultural work is allowed (even soil work is prohibited). Canning and baking are also not recommended. For example, cucumbers pickled on the day of the leaf will be soft and slippery.
Do not harvest or prepare medicinal herbs either.
Beekeeping
It is not recommended to work with the hive.
Recommended
🍂 LEAF DAYS
From 11:30 a.m. (before this period, the lunar node is still negatively affected) is a good time to replant lettuce, arugula, spinach, herbs (dill, parsley, basil), and also to grow various varieties of cabbage. It's worth watering cabbage (especially late varieties, to ensure strong heads), as this is when the soil absorbs moisture, which is essential for all cruciferous vegetables. After watering, it's helpful to loosen the soil, especially if the soil is heavy. Hilling can be done without watering. This is a very important procedure.
During the waning moon, it is recommended to make compost and you can apply it (try to wait for cooler weather).
Not recommended
Harvesting is not recommended. Vegetables and fruits should also not be stored, as they will spoil quickly. And hold off on canning. The water element and the Moon in Scorpio are not conducive to this.
Beekeeping
It is not recommended to work with the hive during periods of high water levels.
Recommended
🍒 FETAL DAYS
The period is suitable for work related to growing fruit trees/bushes and certain vegetables (nightshades, melons, squash, and legumes). The Moon is in Sagittarius, so pruning fruit trees is recommended (remove old and dried branches, broken ones, or those lying on the ground).
During the waning moon, it's recommended to make compost and apply it (in cool weather, in the afternoon). You can feed plants with wood ash, bone meal, and other potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. It would be a good idea to loosen the soil (not during wet periods) to improve its quality.
Place supports under the branches that have already begun to bend downwards under the weight of the ripening fruits.
Harvest the crop as needed (it's best to eat it immediately, rather than storing it or processing it immediately - cucumbers and tomatoes pickled during the fruiting days will be delicious).
Not recommended
Nitrogen fertilizers should not be applied; this is not relevant now (the plant's energy should be focused on ripening fruit and strengthening roots, not on developing shoots, new leaves, etc.). If you use complex fertilizers, make sure they either contain no nitrogen (N) at all or contain no more than 10%, to avoid harming the plants.
Beekeeping
The element of fire stimulates bees to collect nectar, so move your hives to areas where heather is currently blooming (you can move them again on August 21-22). Remember, the honey flow is ending. This nectar flow will help the bees breed for the winter. They will go into hibernation stronger.
Recommended
During the perigee, it's worth combating fungus (the moon intensifies the water element, and the moisture and warmth encourage fungal growth), especially if there have been prolonged rains. Fitosporin-M can be used.
Not recommended
Perigee is a stressful period for plants, so avoid planting or replanting. It's best to leave them alone altogether. There's a risk that if they're damaged (for example, by loosening the roots during soil cultivation), they'll have difficulty recovering or may become more susceptible to disease.
Recommended
From 8:14 (before this time, the unfavorable perigee period is still in effect) some types of work can be carried out: a suitable time for growing and hilling root crops, weeding.
Harvesting (except root vegetables). Harvested fruits and vegetables will be juicier and will keep longer. Preserving previously harvested root vegetables.
Not recommended
Not a suitable period for harvesting root crops.
Avoid canning (except for root vegetables) on this day. Cucumbers pickled on root day will be hollow and moldy. Do not repot or prune plants, do not collect cuttings, as the juices rise to the top.
Recommended
Full moon – time to rest, meditate, celebrate.
You can collect medicinal herbs (goldenrod, calendula, yarrow, wormwood, thyme, etc.).
You can carry out pest control treatments during the Full Moon (root days are suitable for exterminating pests that live in the soil, and since the Sun is in Cancer, you can fight snails and slugs).
It would be a good idea to cleanse farm animals and domestic animals of internal parasites (on an empty stomach).
You can use preventative measures against fungi, for example, with an infusion of horsetail. Collect green shoots (!) of this plant, spread them in a thin layer, and dry them in the shade (the color should be green). Then, take 200-300 g of dried or 1-1.5 kg of fresh horsetail, pour water over it, and simmer for an hour. Dilute the resulting concentrate in 10-20 liters of water. Spray the leaves with this solution. Horsetail is also an excellent source of silicon.
Not recommended
Harvesting, especially root crops, is prohibited... and storage is also prohibited.
Work with plants (apply fertilizer, water, loosen the soil, prune, etc.).

Preserving harvests (during the waxing moon during the fruiting days, the Moon in Aries). During the fruiting days, it's recommended to freeze fruits and vegetables; they'll be tastier and less watery when thawed.
The moon is waning now, meaning the soil can absorb more moisture than during a waxing moon. Therefore, to avoid contaminating groundwater, we apply fertilizer now, not during the waxing moon. Potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are recommended.
Not recommended
