Those who first look at our garden, seeing powerful and highly branching plants with black, large, up to 2 cm in diameter with berries, always ask: what is it? And, without waiting for an answer, break the berries and put in the mouth. But immediately spinning, because the fruits of the STI, especially dissimilar, tasteless. Yes, and ripe first need to quit boiling water, they have no good taste.
Therapeutic vegetable garden
So what is this plant? Some are called his veonic, arguing that such berries can be gaining as much as you like in the wild and in the wild, others are named black (there is still indoor with bright orange poisonous berries). In nature, the wildly growing is growing, and in our garden - a cultural,
Called by Sanberry, obtained by breeders by crossing the American large-scale fault with the European fine-flower. The plant is unpretentious. Soil is suitable for any, not afraid of cold and drought, does not require abundant nutrition. However, it will be a glad moderate irrigation, regular feeding, sunny habitat.
We grow Sanberry like tomatoes, through seedlings. Singing germinated seeds in packets from under dairy products, usually in March. Easy, loose, air- and water permeable substrate prepare from the autumn of the delicate high-grade soil, humid and river coarse sand (5: 3: 2). On the 10-liter bucket of the mixture, add 1 -2 st. sifted wood ash.
Packages put in a warm place and the first days are covered with a film. With the advent of shoots, we are transferred to the windowsill, and with the arrival of heat (in April) - on the glazed balcony.
Seedlings are fed in the phase of two real leaves: in 10 liters of water dissolve 5-10 g of ammonium nitrate, 10-15 g of potassium sulphate and 30-40 g of superphosphate. With subsequent feeders with an interval of 10 days, dose of potassium and phosphorus double.
Looking out plants into the ground simultaneously with tomatoes. But since Sunberry bushes in the process of growth are very branched, we have them at a distance of 1 m from each other. Zabiezy appear from the lower branches to the top - on every bush to one hundred!
With the harvest of Sanberry, unlike tomatoes, not rush. They ripen unevenly, until mid-October. True, black is much earlier, but this does not mean that they are already ripe. We must wait until the berries become elastic like a ball. With the onset of frosts, you can collect and the remaining fruits on the bushes: they will divert in a warm apartment.
Sanberry suturing clusters, stored fresh in the refrigerator to the new year, part freeze. Of these fruits, healing juice is obtained, beautiful jam and good wine.
