Work in the garden in October
Dig up the beds. Many summer residents are too lazy to do this, because the work is labor-intensive, and very in vain. You need to dig the beds and here's why (2):
- the earth will be saturated with moisture - clods of earth (and there is no need to break them) in winter retain snow on the site, and in the spring a supply of water will remain in the beds, which means that seeds will germinate better and seedlings will take root;
- the soil structure will improve - during digging, the soil is saturated with oxygen, the processes of decomposition of organic matter occur faster in it and, as a result, fertility increases and the structure improves;
- pests will die - they bury themselves in the soil for the winter, and after digging, most of them will end up in clods of earth, and in winter they will die from frost.
Sow seeds of cold-resistant crops. Pre-winter sowings can be very profitable - the seeds germinate in the spring at the optimal time and produce more harvest, and the amount of work in the spring, when there is already a rush, is significantly reduced.
You can sow before winter:
- root vegetables - carrots, beets, radishes, root parsley and parsnips;
- green vegetables - lettuce, wild garlic, borage and sorrel;
- spicy herbs - dill, parsley, cilantro, lovage.

⁉️ Is it possible to replant indoor flowers in October?
Sometimes, when passing by someone else’s pot with a treasured flower, your hands reach out to pinch off a small shoot. But what to do if October 2022 is not the best time for propagating and replanting plants?
Again, it’s worth turning to the characteristics of your favorite flower. For example, geranium is easily propagated by semi-lignified, green cuttings in August - early October. Dichorysandra, oplysmenus, netcreasia, syngonium nofolia or tradescantia will take root no less quickly in October. By the way, the list of plants is far from exhaustive. Maybe the list will be replenished with a new species?
The problem with replanting (transshipment) of your favorite flowers during this period is no less relevant. What to do if the optimal time for replacing the soil is missed, and the plant has grown to enormous sizes? Of course, in some cases it is advisable to postpone the event until early spring. However, for some indoor plants, October 2021 is quite suitable for replanting.
For example, in mid-autumn you can safely refresh the soil of almost all varieties of azaleas; calla lilies (calla lilies); amaryllis; ahimenes; spathiphyllum; petunia; dracaena; Tradescantia; chlorophytum; asparagus and many other plants that were planted in the garden for the summer.
Only healthy flowers that have the strength to recover from the stress of the last sunny days are allowed to be replanted (transferred) in October.

The influence of the moon phase on planting
The phases of the moon in October 2022 affect both the roots of plants and the above-ground parts. Planting plants on a certain lunar day can speed up their germination, growth, and affect the fruits of future plants.
On some days, you must refrain from planting, weeding and loosening the roots of plants and flowers, because... this can lead to damage to plants, slow growth, rotting, or, for example, disrupt their energy balance. This affects not only direct work with the soil, but also other work in the garden and garden.
If you want to reap a good harvest, then you obviously need everything to be done in October 2022, according to the lunar sowing calendar.
If you are planting a plant, especially perennials, trees that are expected to have a long life span, or seedlings, then this should be done only on the waxing moon, preferably before the full moon. This should not be done on the day of the new moon.
Plants planted before the full moon will grow tall. Just as all development-oriented activities should begin on the waxing Moon, so plants, especially perennials, should be given a new life in a new place on the waxing Moon.

The influence of Zodiac Signs on plants
The health and well-being of green pets also largely depend on the zodiac sign in which the Moon was at the time of transplantation.
Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces are fertile signs. All work carried out during this period promises to bring only benefits to the plants. They grow and flower well, but will be stocky with short stems.
Those crops that were transplanted in medium-fertile signs (Capricorn, Libra) are distinguished by strong strong stems, a bright and rich aroma, and lush flowering.
Low fertility signs (Sagittarius, Gemini and Virgo) make the stems weak and long, so they are more suitable for climbing and tall plants.
Under barren signs (Leo, Aries), drought-resistant plants are planted and replanted, and under the sign of Aries, crops with bright orange and bright red flowers are also planted.
Aquarius is considered a completely barren sign, which is generally not suitable for such events.

On positive days, the liquid moves upward, which gives elasticity to the foliage and young shoots. At the same time, the structure of the root system improves.
The movement of juices into the above-ground part of the plant contributes to easy dehydration of the root system, causing the tissues to become more flexible. This reduces the risk of accidental damage to root branches, increases the speed of adaptation to the new soil, and ensures further growth and development of the crop.
On neutral dates it is also better not to replant, but this period is quite suitable for fertilizing, spraying against pests (if necessary), watering and loosening. But when prohibited days occur, it is recommended to postpone all work related to plants.
