What crops can be planted after the feast of the Holy Trinity?

It has long been believed in Russia that the planting of a vegetable garden must be completed without fail before the feast of the Holy Trinity. For those people who do not adhere too much to the rituals and are not fanatical in the religious faith, the question of whether or not they can be planted after the Trinity seems absurd. As you know, this church holiday is celebrated on the 50th day after Easter. The earliest Easter falls on April 4, which means that the planting of vegetables, root crops and flowers, regardless of weather conditions, must be completed by May 23. This is often unrealistic even in the middle lane, not to mention places with a more severe climate.

Of course, even after Trinity, it is possible and necessary to plant those crops that for some reason could not be planted earlier. In addition, there are plants that are advisable to plant in June and July.

To better understand the issue of the possibility of planting after Trinity, you need to remember the religious holiday of the Spirits, the day that is usually celebrated on Monday, immediately after Trinity. It is believed that the Earth-nurse was born on this day and therefore it would be a great sin to plow, loosen or plant. Probably, this is the origin of the belief that after the Trinity one cannot plant.

What can be planted after Trinity in June

June is the first warm month of summer, when the threat of recurrent frosts has passed, the soil has warmed up enough, and the air temperature at night does not drop below 10 ° C. At this time, it is best to plant seedlings of heat-loving plants in open soil, namely tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, zucchini, squash.

In the first decade of June, white cabbage is planted with seedlings, seeds of winter radish, carrots and celery are sown. Many are engaged in planting potatoes.

In June, after Trinity, you can plant beans and peas, radish, green onions and lettuce. Flower cultures should not be forgotten either. June is a good time to land asters and nigella, poppies and kochii, nemophila and nasturtium, calendula and levkoya, zinnium and forget-me-nots, marigolds and many other varieties of flowers.

After June 15, it is advised to plant cucumbers. For the rapid germination of seeds of this culture, it is necessary that the air temperature at night be kept about 15 ° C. In cold weather, the seeds "sit" in the ground for a long time and may not germinate at all.

What is planted in the garden in July
