Which of us does not like delicious juicy berries, which ripen among the first in the summer? Strawberry remains the leader among berry crops, favorite gardeners around the world. It is appreciated for taste and beauty, for the variability of use in cooking and preserving, and most importantly for tremendous benefits for the body, because the strawberry is the leader in the content of easily durable iron necessary to maintain the normal level of hemoglobin in the blood, without which the human existence is simply impossible.
Strawberry growing technology includes landing, care, harvesting and reproduction of plants.
Landing strawberries Can be carried out in two ways: seeds and tanks or, simply speaking, mustache.
Growing strawberry seeds - The process is quite tedious, since the seeds are small, and tender and whimsical young plants. But sometimes another method simply does not exist, since many modern varieties are hybrids of the first generation (F1 marking), and do not give a mustache. Moreover, assemble seeds from such plants themselves will not work either, as they will lose their breeding properties. You have to buy seeds again. Strawberry seeds Severed early spring to seedlings under the glass, support the necessary humidity, not allowing the drying and hypescape of the soil, regularly ventilating. Sprouts appear pretty quickly: after 6-10 days. This is where the most responsible period comes, since young plants are very sensitive to external influences and some diseases. The best result will be treated with plants and soil with special disinfecting solutions selling in flower shops.
Strawberry seedlings are planted ( growing strawberries) in the open ground in May, but recently it is practiced to land in an open soil in August-September, since the so-called cassette seedlings have more chances of high yield and resistance to external influences, forming extremes, accumulating the necessary nutrients and preserving disembarking a holistic root system.
Another strawberry cultivation method It lies in the separation of the mustache from the parent plant and the landing of them at a permanent place immediately in May or August or by the help of the FRIGO method, when the seedlings dug in the fall remains in special conditions until spring and then landed into the open ground. This allows you to get a harvest after 4-6 weeks from the date of landing on a permanent place.
The care process is a timely weaplation, watering and loosening, as well as the removal of unnecessary mustache. The mustache is removed from all plants that are not intended for the production of seedlings, as they contribute to the outflow of nutrients, the necessary day of formation of floral kidney and good fruiting.
Watering should be quite abundant, as the moisture is necessary for the qualitative development of fruits, and then to accumulate nutrients and subsequent vegetation. Swimming should be made after each watering, since on the one hand it contributes to the closure of moisture in the soil, and on the other it improves the respiration of plant roots.
As for the harvest, it should be noted that in English Strawberry is called Strawberry, that is, " straw Yagoda"It is named so not in vain: optimal departure during fruiting is the lining of the rod straw so that the berries do not get dirty and did not start. Currently, there are a simple way to kill three hares with one blow - use when landing a special nonwoven material of black color, which, on the one hand, does not give to the weeds, on the other, it delays moisture in the soil, and with the third it does not allow to dump the berries, which makes it easier The process of growing strawberries. From personal experience I can advise not to save and squeeze strawberries on the material laid in 2 layers, for a greater positive effect.
In one place, strawberries feels well 4-6 years, depending on the variety, so it is necessary to regularly update plants and landing site, allowing soil to rest. If your strawberry is not a mustle variety, it is quite possible to use your planting material. The optimal will be the use of the mustache from the maternal bush at the age of 3-4 years, since this period is the peak of the activity of the plant.
In any case, starting to grow strawberry, you will not want to stop, because it is so nice when these wonderful berries appear on the table, grown with their own hands!
Favorable weather conditions and abundant harvest!
