2026 seedling planting: Lunar calendar and key dates
When sowing seedlings, it«s important to consider where the crop will ultimately grow.
A Novosibirsk agronomist has outlined the schedule for planting seedlings in 2026, with April being the busiest month.
«Each crop has its own age at which seedlings should be transplanted to their permanent location. For cucumbers, for example, it»s 30 days; for peppers, 65–75 days; for tomatoes, it can be 50 days,« explained Lyudmila Shubina, an agronomist and candidate of agricultural sciences.
When sowing seedlings, it«s important to consider where the crop will ultimately grow. Plants for a greenhouse are planted earlier than those for an open garden.
We have compiled a sowing calendar for the main crops for seedlings. The lunar calendar data is also provided in the cards.
The agronomist also explained how to use peat pellets for seedlings — the pros and cons of sowing.
