The table of the lunar calendar on this page is a thematic selection of the universal made for ease of planning work with vegetable crops, some "non-standard" types of work are listed in this section, because we believe that it is more convenient to view them in the "garden" section of the calendar.

November is the gateway to winter.

In November, it is necessary to have time to under-winter crops and plant all winter-hardy vegetable crops until the soil is completely frozen.
   If you could not get the seeds from your own garden in the right quantity, you need to plan purchases and start purchasing them.
   In November, all the works in the main garden are completed, but for the winter period it is very useful to start a “garden on the windowsill” and grow room conditions at least such crops as onions and garlic. Actually, for those who contain such a "garden", this thematic table is made.

On a note.   Growing indoors and onion brings garlic triple benefits: 1. You get your own greens on the table. 2. Onions and garlic, along with such decorative indoor plants as geranium, begonia, thuja, juniper, lemon, chlorophytum, emit phytoncides that kill viruses and microbes, that is, you reduce the risk of infectious diseases. 3. Room plants moisten the air dried by central heating.

Various signs tell us a lot. They tell a person what to do, what to do in this or that case. Following this information, you can easily perform any task, including the one related to cooking and cooking pickles. For example, many people want to know when to pickle cabbage according to national signs. After all, it will help to make the food really tasty, crispy and fragrant. And what kind of person does not like sauteed with cumin, or apples, cabbage? This is a universal dish, which can also be served as a snack, and used to make sour soup.

When do you have to make sauerkraut according to national signs?

According to popular claims, this should be done in the days of the full moon. You can determine them by the lunar calendar. It is great if these dates fall on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. It is believed that with the observance of this popular omen, the pickling of cabbage will pass quickly and easily, and the dish itself will turn out to be very crispy. Is it really so hard to say. But many people say that this statement really "works" and when kvass is sauted according to this sign, it turns out to be more juicy and crispy. Although, there are those people who argue that it is impossible to engage in salting at the full moon, on the contrary. This supposedly means to spoil the dish. Which one will believe, is unknown. There are fans of one approach and another.

If you decide to still trust that it is necessary to pickle cabbage in the full moon, but it is not close, but it is required to be engaged in harvesting right now, do not be discouraged. There are other best days for salting cabbage according to the signs. These dates include the so-called "men's days of the week." This is Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. By the way, according to national signs, it is considered ideal if they fall on a new moon.

On these days, you can safely do sauerkraut. It is no worse than the one that will be cooked in the full moon. Many people, by the way, prefer to just wait, which will fall on the "men's day" and take up the blanks exactly on this date. According to them, the cabbage is obtained even better than during the full moon.

Which of the people will believe, it is up to each person to decide. However, many families have their own traditions, including salting of cabbage. Whether to use these "tips" or not, you only have to choose.

Many housewives spend a lot of time and effort on the preparation of blanks for the winter. And, of course, it is very disappointing when such dishes fail. One has only to deviate a little from the recipe or accidentally use products of not sufficiently high quality, as all the labor goes down the drain. But in order for the blanks to be really successful, tasty and kept for a long time, it is necessary not only to prepare them in accordance with the recipe from high-quality products, but also at a certain time of the month, in accordance with the lunar calendar. Let's clarify when to sauer the cabbage on the lunar calendar?

For a long time, people have been aware of the fact that the moon and lunar phases have a direct impact on a person and on his life. Therefore, the lunar calendar is used in solving many everyday issues, including when preparing blanks for the winter.

Mistresses have long noticed that the cabbage, fermented in a full moon, turns out tasteless and / or quickly deteriorates. It can become soft and too sour, and even mold.

According to the lunar calendar, you should not ferment cabbage on the days of the full moon, as well as during the passage of the moon along such zodiac signs as Cancer, Pisces and Virgo.

The days of the rising moon, namely the period at the new moon and after it, will be an excellent time for the fermentation. It is also worth doing such a workout when the moon passes along such zodiac signs as Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius and Capricorn. Such cabbage is much more likely to be very tasty, fragrant and crispy, and also to be stored for a long time.

What is the date on the lunar calendar sour cabbage?

In November 2016, you can make sauerkraut in the first days - from the first to the eighth of November. After the moon enters the sign of Pisces, therefore it is better not to proceed to the blanks. But already the eleventh of the month, the moon enters the sign of Aries, so you can sour cabbage up to the thirteenth number inclusively.

On the twenty-ninth of November, a new phase of the moon begins, that is, the very next day you can do fermented cabbage. The favorable period continues until December fifth inclusive, and the next day the moon enters the sign of Pisces, that is, it is better to refrain from leaven until December ninth and continue until December thirteenth inclusive.

Thus, you can calculate the dates you need for home canning in any month and in any year. It is only necessary to know that one period of the complete change of the phases of the moon takes approximately twenty-nine or thirty days. The first moon phase, the rising moon, lasts fourteen days.

For example, in September 2017, cabbage ferment is best practiced in the first days - from the first to the fourth. On September 5, the moon enters the Pisces phase, which is not considered to be a very suitable time for home-made preparations. Also, cabbage can be fermented from the twenty-first of September (when the moon enters a new full phase) and until the second of October (until the moon enters the Pisces phase). The next favorable period for procurement begins on the twentieth of October and lasts until the twenty-ninth of October, inclusive. Several favorable days will be at the beginning of November - from the first to the third, and closer to the end of this month - from the nineteenth to the twenty-fifth, and from the twenty-ninth of November to the second of December, inclusive. Also in 2017, sauerkraut can be taken closer to the New Year - from the nineteenth and twenty-third December, and then from the twenty-sixth to thirty-first.

In September 2018, it is best to sauer the cabbage from the tenth to the twenty-second number. In October: from the tenth to the nineteenth, and from the twenty-second to the twenty-fourth. Further, the best dates for cabbage pickling will be the eighth to the fifteenth of November, and the nineteenth to the twenty-second of November. In December, it is worthwhile to deal with such blanks from the eighth to the thirteenth number, as well as from the sixteenth to the twenty-first.

Even when the sauerkraut on the lunar calendar?

If you look at the autumn of 2020, the best dates for cabbage ferment will be the eighteenth to the twenty-eighth of September, the seventeenth to the twenty-fifth of October, the sixteenth to twenty-first of November, and the twenty-fifth to twenty-ninth of November. Cabbage can be practiced in December 2020 - from the fifteenth to the nineteenth, and from the twenty-second to the twenty-eighth.

In the autumn of 2025, it is worthwhile to deal with blanks from the first to the sixth of September, from the twenty-second of September to the third of October, from the twenty-second of October to the thirty-first of October, from the twenty-first of November to the twenty-seventh of November, and also from the thirtieth of November to the fourth of December. Also cabbage pickle will work from the twenty-first of December to the twenty-fourth of December, and from the twenty-seventh of December to thirty-first of December inclusive.

If you look at the fall of 2030, it is best to sour cabbage from September 1 to September 9, from September 28 to October 6, from October 27 to November 3, and from November 6 to November 9. Also a great time for sauerkraut will be the period from the twenty-sixth of November to the thirtieth of November, from the third December to the ninth of December, from the twenty-fifth to the twenty-seventh of December.

So, in each month there are several favorable days for cooking homemade sauerkraut. And nothing will prevent you from trusting the experience of your ancestors and the influence of the moon, and making a really tasty piece.

Therefore, it is so important to know when salting cabbage in 2016 according to the lunar calendar in November in order to get a really delicious salty snack.

A bit of history

In fact, this salty dish is not a primordially Russian dish, it is our housewives who have been cutting heads of cabbage for centuries in a row and are making a pickle for it, in which the cabbage can marinate. If you delve into the history of creation, you can find out that the workers who build the Great Wall of China were fed with pickled vegetables, since the workers didn’t provide much food, and cabbage was a valuable source of vitamins. After some time, the appetizer was able to move to the cities of Romania and the Czech Republic, where many nations fell in love with it, and later the fermented vegetable migrated to Ukraine and Russia, where it eventually became a famous traditional dish at the festive table.

At the very beginning, none of the housewives even thought about what moon to boil cabbage in 2016 according to the lunar calendar, and people didn’t have such a calendar at that time, but they made sourdough in huge barrels for snacks to last for a long time. But today experienced housewives understand that it is just necessary to pay attention to the position of the moon in order to calculate the perfect day for pickled cabbage, only in this case you can get a really tasty and flavorful snack.

Today in our country, almost all homemade feasts can not do without sauerkraut, it is put on the table in a large dish, and each guest can take for themselves as much snack as he needs. Some people prefer to buy cabbage in the store, but still it is tastier and safer to make it at home, especially since you need a minimum quantity of products. Ready salted foods can retain their freshness and stunning taste for at least seven months, so you can safely make cabbage for yourself in large quantities and then place it for storage in any cold place.

At what time is it better to spend the ambassador?

This information will become relevant for many housewives, because it is very important to take into account the phase of the moon in order to know when cabbage will be salted faster, and when the salting process is slower. Therefore, it will be discussed below on which days to boil the cabbage in 2016 according to the lunar calendar, as well as when the ambassador will not be conducted. For example, if the moon starts to be reborn, then the salting process cannot begin, the new moon is the worst day for cooking cabbage. If you add some salt to a vegetable on such a day, the cabbage ends up soft, it does not crunch, it falls apart, it spoils much faster, and the taste qualities do not meet the standards.

When the moon is in such a position, it is better to give up not only the fermentation, but also the harvesting of other vegetables in this form, and the process of canning is not the best. Although you can select only one vegetable that turns out great in this position of the moon - beets, this product after salting must necessarily become soft, and this is just the perfect day for harvesting beets. It is better to postpone the process of sauerkraut and in the event that the moon begins to enter into such constellations as Pisces, Cancer and Virgo, vegetables cooked under these signs lose their taste in a short time, and also become covered with mold and spoil.

If you want to know when salting cabbage in 2016 according to the lunar calendar, you should pay attention to the decreasing moon, this is exactly the time when the ferment process passes most successfully. It is worth knowing that the ambassador is made only immediately after the new moon, as well as on the third and sixth day after that, then you will have to give up salting, and wait for a more favorable time for fermentation.

As experienced housewives say, it is recommended to squeeze a vegetable only on a growing moon, and also when the position of the moon corresponds to such signs of the zodiac as Leo, Capricorn, Aries, Sagittarius or Taurus, only in this case the cabbage is really very tasty and fragrant. If the ambassador is made under such signs, you will have to take into account such a nuance as the use of the finished product, and you can get pickled vegetables only on those days when the moon enters the sign under which the leaven was conducted. If, however, remove the snacks from the barrel on other days, then the likelihood of rapid deterioration of the finished product, as well as the development of bacteria in the harvesting, is high.

Some say that there is a certain time for harvesting cabbage for sourdough, for this it is necessary to wait for the first frost and wait another ten days, only after that they begin to prepare the vegetable for the ambassador. The fact is that the frost helps the acid to be processed into sugar, and this makes it possible to make the taste of the finished snack unique. If there is such an opportunity, then the cabbage should spend the maximum amount of time on the garden bed, just up to ten days after the first frost, but if the vegetables have already been harvested, it is enough to carry out at night in the cold in the cold outside.

For those who want to know when salting cabbage in 2016 according to the lunar calendar, other nuances should be taken into account, for example, if ferment is produced exclusively in a large barrel or container, then you should not open the lid too often, otherwise the cabbage will dry out, which will worsen it taste, as well as affect the safety of the product. Also, ideally, the male day of the week is chosen for the salting, it will be Monday, Thursday or Tuesday, if the woman starts to have critical days, then the salting process should be postponed, otherwise the starter vegetable will fail. It is better to postpone the preservation process these days, as a woman will not be able to receive tasty salty foods during the period of critical days.

What kind of cabbage is worth picking up?

Today, there are many varieties of cabbage that can be used for salting, but it is worth knowing in more detail when and how in 2016, as well as what kind of cabbage is best suited for this.

There are several other varieties of cabbage that are not suitable for salting, but it is not necessary to list them all in the article, since their popularity among gardeners and gardeners in our country is minimal.
