We are in the "Waning Moon", the ideal phase to plant corn
Hello friends, I tell you that the rains have already begun in the eastern region of Venezuela, so I think that many farmers have already begun to prepare their lands to plant those crops that benefit from the rains.
Well friends, I have my farm in the south-central region of the Anzoátegui State, and for two weeks the rains have been intense, ideal for planting corn, so yesterday I decided to plow the land, I generally do this work with the use of an agricultural tractor, the truth is that the land had a lot of forest, even though the cattle ate the grass. Generally, when the land is not worked for a long time, it is necessary to plow in a crosswise manner so that the land is very loose and free of clods.
Look, the earth:
Waning moon, the best phase for planting corn
Yes, friends, this Moon phase is ideal for planting corn and for many other crops such as tubers, including the planting of "cassava" stems. The waning Moon is also ideal for transplanting plants such as vegetables, since that in this phase the internal water of the plants is deposited in the roots, which favors the growth of said roots, that is, the change in environment will not affect the plant because in the case of water stress, the plant It will not dehydrate, due to the water reserves that it will consume from its roots.

Here the moon begins to shrink, that is, it begins to wane until it disappears....
Plowing the land to plant yellow corn
As I told you at the beginning, yesterday I decided to plow the land to plant corn, well friends, even though the land had quite a lot of forest, the plow turned out very well, so I can start planting corn, this morning I bought 5 kilos of certified corn which is a corn selected for planting, although the store offered me hybrid corn, but I preferred to buy this corn, I know that with hybrid corn you get better yields, but as I said, I preferred corn seeds variety, because I want to select some ears of corn for my next plantings, since hybrid corn seeds cannot be used again, since this type of corn usually loses its genetic characteristics.
Plowing the land with two crossed harrow passes:
I bought variety corn, certified:
The land is now ready to plant corn:
Well friends, the land was ready to sow the corn seeds, I'm just going to wait for it to rain to wet the ground and the next day I'll sow my seeds, really friends, I'm praying to God for it to rain sooner let the waning phase pass, because if not I will have to wait 20 more days for the next waning phase and that would be a delay for this crop.
