Today, fresh juicy berries among winter will not see anyone, but they are all grown abroad. To achieve year-round harvest to foreign farmers helps the repair strawberries of one of the best varieties, the correct name of which, by the way, Queen Elizabeth.
For seven years now, I'm trying to breed a garden strawberry variety Elizabeth, yes All did not work. It is a capricious: it is dry, then the raw, then the heat, then it rains, slowly multiply. In the heat of berries small, they will rain - please. I repent, time to do this variety was not all, I was Elizabeth in me in Padrelitsa. This year, rains went to the ripening period of berries, and I decided that it was time for me, finally, Elizabeth to do it as follows.
To protect against dampness, the simplest canopy like a slag and covered with a polyethylene film. From the sides hung tower curtains. In the morning they were twisted, in the evening it was closed to preserve heat. Of course, the bad weather tulle fassed soon, and the birds did holes and roared ripe berries with the edge, so they had to hang new ones. If the rains now could not fulfill their duties on watering, watering out of the hose with warm water, in the heat twice, in the cold once a week. Under the ripening berries put various plastic forms from the packages so as not to be dirty when contacting the ground. Nathers immediately began to arrange nests, but I tried to displace them to the edges of the shelter, appling the hose forms during irrigation. In the "house" strawberry immediately came to life, the leaves became large, a lot of flowers and mustache appeared. The height of the shelter was about a meter, it was planted to operate on the garden and move the "goose step".
But I finally got a berry of this variety - a couple of times a week collected in a bowl to the most frosts. Berries were crushed sweet, as if ripened under the hot sun. Twice cropped the dried leaves and flowers, once fledged with the infusion of the cowboat and twice sprinkled around the chests around the bushes. For the winter shelter disassembled, the leaves left only green, the garden was falling asleep with a small layer of Foli Foliah and pressed her with stems of dahlias. Now I do not want to eat strawberries, and before I did not pay attention to the fact that most of the bush behind the winter disappeared.
