Folk signs of November for the gardener
In addition to the lunar sowing calendar, the gardener should also pay attention to the signs for the special days of November, which will help to navigate the schedule of planned events. With their help, you can understand what kind of winter is expected and prepare the area as much as possible for the frost season.
If it was too cold on Midsummer, November 1, you should not wait for early spring. At the same time, it will turn out to be changeable. Snowfall on Dmitri's Day (11/8) also indicates late warming; the snow may remain until Easter.
If mosquitoes suddenly appeared on the site in the last month of autumn, this indicates that the winter will not be too cold. The warm day of Theodore Studite, November 24, allows us to count on the same.
Conclusion
The gardener's lunar calendar for November 2023 will help you choose the most favorable days for sowing winter crops and plants that can be grown in a warm greenhouse. It is worth focusing not only on the phases of the Earth's satellite, but also on the zodiac sign in which it resides. But at the same time, we must not forget about the climatic conditions of the region, in most of which there is already snow in the last month of autumn, which makes it impossible to carry out almost any work in an open area.
