Ramson planting and care in the open field in the Urals

Ramson has been known and loved for a long time, especially in those regions where it grows in natural conditions - in the Caucasus, the Far East, Siberia, and Europe. Ramson is a perennial herb of the genus Allium, and two species are called so: bear onion (Állium ursínum) and victory onion (Állium victoriális).

In almost every locality, it also has a second - the popular name: chenzeli, kalba, levurda, wild garlic, bear onion.

Bear onion

A compact plant 20-50 cm high, leaves (2-3 pieces 3-5 cm wide) on a long narrow petiole appear in March-April, when the snow completely melts and the soil warms up. In May-June, small white flowers bloom on a low peduncle, collected in an umbrella (tuft or hemispherical) inflorescence. Flowering lasts 2-3 weeks. After the seeds ripen (June-July), the leaves gradually die off. In deciduous and mixed forests, wild garlic grows in whole glades, which are popularly called "bear meadows".

Now, due to deforestation, deteriorating ecology and uncontrolled harvesting, the number of wild garlic is dramatically decreasing. Therefore, the plant is listed in the Red Book in many regions, territories and republics of Russia.

Varieties: "Bear", "Delicacy", "Bear delicacy", "Bear paw", "Bear ear". The names do not differ in creativity and variety)

Victory bow

It reaches a height of 70 cm, the inflorescence is an umbrella (hemispherical or spherical), the flowers are pale green. Young leaves grow early - with the first warm days. Blooms in May-July, seeds ripen in July-September (depending on the climatic zone and weather conditions). On sale it is found as "Siberian wild garlic". Can grow on slightly acidic soils. In terms of frost resistance, it surpasses bear onion. Suitable for breeding in Siberia, Altai, the Far East.

Growing wild garlic

When planning to plant a bear onion in your garden, try (as far as possible) to create conditions for it in which it grows in nature:

• sufficient (but not excessive) soil moisture;
• calcium-rich soils;
• light shading or shadow (victory bow is photophilous);
• mulching.

In fact, wild garlic is a rather “docile” plant, and there are no special difficulties with its cultivation.

Location

Break a bed for wild garlic in the shade of trees, on the east or north side of the buildings. Can you plant in the sun? Can. You will have to water more often, but onions will grow better, and more seeds will be tied. Although wild garlic is a moisture-loving plant, it does not tolerate stagnant water, therefore good drainage is needed in flooded places. Acidic soils need liming. After the leaves die off, watering can be reduced.

Fertilizer

Each year, the growing roots raise the bulb by about 0.5 cm.Pour the same amount of humus on the garden bed - this will be enough, the wild garlic grows well without top dressing.

Bulb propagation

The safest and fastest way to get vitamin greens in your garden is to plant bear onion bulbs. True, not everyone has the opportunity to purchase them. For example, I have never met them on sale - neither in garden centers, nor in the market - at grandmothers. If you are lucky enough to become their owner, you need to start planting in October. An important condition is that the bulbs must be rooted. If there are no roots (or they are dry), the hope for survival is very insignificant. Judge for yourself: wild garlic reacts painfully to damage to the roots during transplantation, where can she survive if they are dry?

We dig the soil onto the bayonet of a shovel, select the roots of perennial weeds (especially carefully the roots of wheatgrass and nettle). Considering that wild garlic will grow in one place for several years, you need to provide it with enough nutrition. We add compost, leaf humus, peat and mix well. The soil should be crumbly and light, like in a forest.

We start planting: we make holes with a distance in the row of at least 20 cm, between the rows - 40-50 cm. We deepen the bulb only 2/3, straighten the roots well, sprinkle it with earth and water it abundantly so that there are no air pockets left. We mulch 2-3 cm plantings with peat or compost, and on top - with fallen leaves with a layer of 5-10 cm. Watch the soil moisture: if autumn is dry, be sure to water the garden bed.

In early spring (wild garlic is not afraid of recurrent frosts), we remove the leaf mulch, leaving a layer of no more than 2-3 cm. It is advisable to remove the peduncles that appeared in the first year so as not to weaken the bulb.

In the future, caring for the plant comes down to regular watering, removing weeds. Loosening is undesirable, you can damage the root system. Just make sure your bear onion plantings are mulched to keep the soil moist and loose at all times.

Seed reproduction

This method has both pros and cons. Perhaps there are more of the latter - let's start with them. You will have to wait a long time, the first crop can be removed only for 3-4 years. Wild garlic seeds lose their germination very quickly, so (if possible) take only fresh, ripe this year. Many gardeners I know complain that purchased seeds do not germinate, and that's it. A natural question arises - why? There may be several reasons:

• seeds lost their germination due to long storage:
• incorrect sowing;
• unforeseen circumstances: washing out with melt water, rainstorm, improper watering. Do not underestimate the dacha living creatures: chickens love to rake mulched plantings, cats - to arrange a rookery there. Yes, and our own memory can fail - while the wild garlic is going to ascend, we may well forget about it, and plant something else in the same place.

But the undoubted advantage of seed reproduction can be considered the receipt of a large number of plants at once. First, a little theory. Wild garlic seeds do not have a dormant period, so the stratification, which producers insist on, is not needed. Sprouts will not appear soon: with autumn sowing - after 1.5 years, spring - after a year.

In autumn, you can sow from August (as soon as the seeds are ripe) to October. We sow in small pots, boxes or other suitable containers that must have drainage holes. The ramson will grow in them for two years: at this age, the roots of the bulbs will be about 10 cm, take this into account when choosing the depth of the container. We prepare the soil from 2 parts of leafy soil, 1 part of compost, 1 part of peat. We pour soil into a container (2 cm below the edge), lay out the seeds, sprinkle it with soil 1 cm on top. We drop the containers with crops in the open ground (without deepening) in partial shade. We mulch 1 cm with peat and 3-5 cm with foliage, water. Regular watering will be required in the future - the soil in the seedling boxes should not dry out.

In the spring, we remove part of the leaf mulch.Wild garlic sprouts are small (about 1 cm in height and 1 mm in thickness) and tender, they need to be carefully looked after: when washing out peat, add fresh, gently pull out the weeds, we have already spoken about watering) Two-year-old onions can be planted in a permanent place, but do this must be done very carefully, being careful not to damage the roots.

You can significantly speed up the process if you germinate the seeds before sowing:

• soak them in Epin for 3-5 hours (optional);
• wrap in a damp cloth and put in a jar or container;
• cover the container from above with a cloth, a thick sheet of paper (so that there is air access, but the moisture does not evaporate too quickly).

Recommendations of experts regarding the temperature regime during germination:

• constant + 19 ° С ... + 22 ° С - optimal;
• fluctuations + 10 ° С ... + 19 ° С - germination rate of 50% and below;
• fluctuations + 1 ° С ... + 19 ° С - germination rate of 7% and below;
• constant below + 10 ° С and above + 26 ° С - wild garlic seeds will not sprout.

If done correctly, the seeds will sprout in 3-4 weeks.

When can you harvest?

Ramson is a "leisurely" plant, grows slowly, yields only 1-2 replacement bulbs per year. When harvesting, the entire green mass is not cut off - one of the two leaves must be left so that the plant can recover more easily.

Over time, when your planting material is in abundance, you can make several beds of wild garlic. This will allow one to harvest while the other rests and gains strength. Overgrown clumps of bear onions are planted after 5-6 years.

Ramson is an excellent culture for a winter garden on a windowsill (it is not oppressed by a lack of light, additional lighting is not required).

Useful properties and preparation for future use

All parts of the plant are edible: young shoots, leaves and bulbs. Many tasty dishes are prepared from wild garlic and prepared for future use: it is good in pickles, pickles, marinades. Freezing and drying methods are preferable - they retain the beneficial properties of the plant (however, dried wild garlic is almost devoid of its inherent appetizing aroma).

And there is something to keep in wild garlic: all parts of the plant contain vitamin C, carotene, essential oil, mineral salts, phytoncides, protein, fructose. Ramson normalizes metabolism, lowers blood cholesterol, has bactericidal and antiscorbutic properties. The list goes on and on. For medicinal purposes, wild garlic can be used only on the recommendation of the attending physician (there are contraindications).

Bear onions are good from all sides, from wherever you look: tasty, healthy, and a noble honey plant. Its flowering cannot be called luxurious, but it captivates with its modest charm. Are wild garlic already growing in your garden?

Growing wild garlic in the country will help you always have healthy greens at hand. It is not always possible to go to nature for wild onions. And such a trip can be very expensive: the plant is listed in the Red Book, and for its collection there is a fine. Why do you need shame and financial costs? The plant is unpretentious, caring for it will not take much time, but in early spring you will have vitamin greens that you can pick at any time, and at the same time not hide from the foresters and gamekeepers.

Preparatory work

In the wild, wild garlic grows in forests and meadows under deciduous trees. This symbiosis is very important: the plants receive the sunlight necessary for development until the leaves bloom on the trees. In summer, the aboveground part withers, and the entire colony of bulbs goes into hibernation. By that time, the forest is covered with dense foliage, and the light does not disturb the calm state of the rhizomes. Therefore, wild onions are not found in coniferous forests: pines and Christmas trees do not create a comfortable environment for him.

Ramson has adapted to any conditions, she does not need to look for a special place on the site. Select an area where crops that are demanding on lighting, soil composition and moisture cannot grow.The shade is even better: without the bright light, the foxes will be large and juicy, and plantation maintenance will become much easier.

Convenient places for the garden:

• under fruit trees;
• along the fence;
• between the rows of bushes.

Although the plant is not very demanding on the soil, in order to obtain rich yields, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for it. Dig up the ground with a full bayonet of a shovel, apply fertilizer to the barren soil, and the garden bed will delight you with delicate spring greenery for several years.

When digging for each m2, it is advisable to add:

• organic - 1 bucket;
• phosphate fertilizers - 30 g;
• potash fertilizers - 20 g;
• ammonium nitrate - 15g.

Features of planting seeds and bulbs

There are 2 ways to propagate wild garlic: sowing seeds and planting bulbs, and each method has its own characteristics. Planting seeds requires warm weather. The best germination is observed at a temperature of about + 20⁰. It is advisable to do this work in the spring or late summer. The fresher the seeds, the more viable they will be. Buy them before boarding and be sure to look at the packaging date. It is advisable to collect grains from existing plants immediately before planting.

Advice

To obtain seeds, cut the pods when they begin to turn yellow. If the shell has become hard, it means that the plant has passed into a state of dormancy, and the activity of the embryos has decreased.

If planting in September, make 1 cm deep furrows 20 cm apart. Seeds should not be sown often, the distance between plants should be at least 10 cm. Sprinkle with soil and a thin layer of black soil. There is no need to mulch yet, since the mulch layer should not be thinner than 5 cm. The seedlings will not be able to penetrate such a thickness, they will not have enough light for development. You can cover the garden with foliage for the winter, but be sure to clear the ground in the spring. During the cold season, some grains will lose their germination and will not sprout, these places can be sown in spring. When planting is planned for May, it is necessary to stratify the seeds in winter. Keep grains at 0⁰ for 3 months. When warm days come, plant them just like in the fall.

Planting the bulbs is much easier, but only one plant will emerge from each root, and not all of them will take root. This method is convenient if you decide to destroy the plantation in the country and arrange a garden bed in another place. You need to do this work in the second half of summer, when the plants have already plunged into hibernation. Make nests 30 cm apart, plant 2 roots in each hole. Do not bury the bulbs; the dry feathers should be visible from the ground. In the spring, pull out the weak bushes so that one copy remains in each hole.

Wild Onion Care

The main care for wild garlic is watering during the dry season and weed control. In early spring, apply nitrogen fertilizer for active growth of greenery. During the flowering period, you need to feed the plantings with a full complex fertilizer for the development of the bulbs. When the leaves begin to wither, the care of the garden bed can be considered complete, the plants do not need any watering or nutrients.

In the summer, carefully inspect the garden. Each year, the bulbs rise slightly to the surface of the soil. Mulch the whole earth with a thick layer of leaves, so the plants will feel like they are in their native environment. If the winters in your area are frosty and with little snow, cover the garden with straw before frost. In the spring, the shelter must be removed.

For the first 2 years, do not tear the young leaves, let the plant develop and gain strength. If at this time the onion releases a flower arrow, break it off so that the plant has more energy for the development of the bulbs. If you are growing wild garlic from seed, when the plants mature, remove the weak specimens so that the strong bushes have room.

Wild onion at home

Cultivation of wild garlic is also possible at home on the windowsill. Please note that although the bulbs are very small, the roots of the plant go deep into the soil up to 20 cm.Take a container in which the root system will be spacious. You can buy soil for seedlings, or you can collect land in a deciduous forest and add peat to it in half the volume of the brought soil. Do not dig under conifers: wild garlic grows only under deciduous trees.

Planting seeds follows the same pattern as in open ground. After sowing, moisten the soil and cover the container with foil. In a warm place, seedlings will appear in about a month. When the sprouts are out of the ground, place the container in partial shade. When planting bulbs, they are buried 3-5 cm in the ground and watered well.

Caring for home beds is almost the same as growing outdoors. Water the soil to keep it always moist, loosen the crust that appears. In summer, it is advisable to take the containers out into the fresh air. It is believed that when grown at home, the greens are even more juicy and tasty than the harvest from the garden.

Conclusion

Ramson is one of the first plants to supply animals and humans with fresh vitamins after a long winter. Due to the massive collection in many areas, it is under threat of destruction. In addition, the season of its appearance occurs simultaneously with the period of tick activity. Do not expose yourself to danger, leave the forest greens to the bears starving during the winter, and for yourself you can grow wild onions in your summer cottage or at home on the windowsill.

If it is possible to purchase a sufficient number of bulbs, plant rhizomes on the bed, this method is much easier. When sowing seeds in spring, it is imperative to carry out stratification. When the plants take root, your main worries will end. Now it remains to occasionally water and feed the plantings 2 times per season. And the most enjoyable work lies ahead in the spring - the collection of juicy tasty leaves.

Wild garlic, chenzeli, bear onion, levurda, flask, wild garlic - a discreet perennial herb that opens up in full beauty in late spring - early summer. Its light green leaves, similar to lily of the valley, are prized for their pleasant garlic taste and useful properties that not only strengthen, but also heal the body.

Wild garlic can be found most often in shady deciduous and deciduous-spruce forests, in beams, lowlands - where it is humid enough. The area of ​​its growth is incredibly wide. Austria, Great Britain, Georgia, Spain, Netherlands, Slovakia, France ... Wherever it does not grow!

Ramson, or Bear Onion, or Wild Garlic, or Flask, Chenzeli, Levurda, (Allium ursinum)

Today, there are two types of this amazing plant: Allium ursinum - Bear onion (found in our country in the Caucasus) and Allium victorialis - Victory bow (distributed mainly in the Far East and Siberia).

In many countries, wild garlic is protected and included in the Red Book, for this reason it is increasingly grown as a cultivated plant.

Useful properties and use of wild garlic

Wild garlic is valued primarily for its high content of nutrients. Vitamin A, B1, B2, C, PP, folic acid, niacin, iodine, fluorine, calcium, selenium, zinc - which is just not there! Due to this, it stimulates the work of the gastrointestinal tract, has a positive effect on blood composition, cleanses the skin, helps with colds, strengthens the immune system, heals the cardiovascular system, speeds up metabolism, is characterized by pronounced bactericidal properties.

Victorious bow, or Victorious bow (Allium victorialis). Also called wild garlic, or flask

Leaves, stem and bulb are edible in wild garlic. It is used raw, in salads, as a side dish, in cooking, pickled, dried, insisted.

Plant morphology

It is not by chance that the Amaryllis wild garlic belongs to the genus Onions, subfamily Onions. It does indeed have a small, elongated bulb, about 1 cm in diameter.During flowering, it throws out an umbrella inflorescence, on a fairly long, from 15 to 50 cm triangular stem. Has linear-lanceolate, white tepals. The fruit forms a box with almost round seeds. But wild garlic has only two true leaves. Rather narrow, 3 - 5 cm wide, sharp, lanceolate, they are somewhat inferior in height to the stem. Their petiole is narrower than the base plate and is almost twice as long as it.

Plant features

Ramson is an ephemeroid. In other words, a perennial, the aerial part of which develops in spring, and dies off by the end of summer. Its tender leaves sprouted in March are the first vitamin greens. But, the older the plant becomes, the coarser its tissue, therefore, the collection of wild garlic continues only until flowering, which begins in May.

After flowering, seeds fall off the wild garlic. They will germinate only next year. If they are kept and sown in the spring, they will not sprout until the next spring season. But wild garlic reproduces in another way - vegetatively. Well-formed plants form two replacement bulbs, which can be detached and planted in the garden.

Growing wild garlic

Currently, wild garlic is becoming more and more popular as a garden culture. Today on sale, you can already find the seeds of its three varieties: Bear delicacy, Bear cub, Bear ear.

Such close names, obviously, were chosen for it due to the fact that in nature a bear likes to feast on a plant.

Pick-up location

When determining a place for planting wild garlic, it is worth remembering that this culture loves sufficiently fertile soils, shading from direct sunlight and moisture. For this reason, it is better to place it under trees or a fence - where there is no scorching sun, there is no stagnation of water and the soil is not characterized by high acidity.

Ramson, or Bear Onion, or Wild Garlic

Reproduction of wild garlic

The easiest way to propagate wild garlic is by dividing the bush. To do this, in early spring or on a cloudy summer day, it is necessary to separate part of the bulbs (necessarily with roots) from the curtain and plant them in rows at a distance of 20 - 35 cm from each other with row spacing of 30 - 45 cm.

If it is not possible to get planting material, you can grow wild garlic from seeds. For this, the acquired seed must be stratified without fail. It consists in a rather long, from 80 to 100 days, cooling period, and is carried out due to winter sowing. At the same time, the seeding pattern is preserved, as in vegetative propagation.

In order to make it easier to care for wild garlic seedlings, the seeds are often sown not in a permanent place, but in a box that is dropped in the garden. In the spring, grass is removed from the garden, the soil is loosened well, filled with compost and only then planted in rows of plants.

When sowing, the seeds are not buried in the soil, but mulched with a small layer of earth.

Wild garlic care

For the first two years, the plants are only looked after: watered, loosened, fed (with any complex fertilizer once or twice a season). Since the wild garlic bulbs tend to rise from the ground by about 0.5 cm every year, starting from the second year, the garden bed is mulched with a thin layer of fallen leaves.

Pests and diseases

Pests and diseases of wild garlic are practically not scary. In rare cases, with severe waterlogging and on acidic soils, rust appears on it, and then gray rot.

Collection of wild garlic leaves

The yield of wild garlic reaches 3 kg per square meter. However, you can cut off leaves from plants only in the third year of development. At the same time, you need to know that the remote vegetative part of the current year will no longer be renewed, and therefore, it will be possible to harvest greens again in the same place only after two or three years.

Based on this, it makes sense to grow wild garlic in three beds at once, with a planting step of one year, or to collect leaves selectively.

Seed preparation

Since wild garlic is characterized by uneven maturation of seeds, you should not wait until all the capsules burst. You need to take a bowl and periodically shake off what has already ripened into it. Or put paper bags on the inflorescences and wait until the seeds fall into them themselves.

And further…

In nature, wild garlic grows in large clumps, filling vast areas. If allowed to shed seeds in the garden, over time the plant will turn into a vicious weed.

The people call wild garlic a bear onion. It is one of the first to break through in the spring from under the snow, and bears that have awakened from hibernation feed on it. Once upon a time, people also collected and harvested wild onions in the forests and taiga. Today wild garlic is listed in the Red Book. Therefore, it will be useful for those who like to enjoy this first spring vitamin greens to learn how to grow wild garlic on their own.

Plant features

Ramson, aka wild garlic or flask, belongs to the Amaryllis family. With its appearance, it resembles a lily of the valley.

Ramson is a perennial plant. Caring for her is simple. It hibernates in the open field and is able to withstand frosts down to -50 ° C.

The growing season of the aboveground part is from autumn to spring. Young greens are harvested from April to May. In June, wild garlic bears fruit. In the middle of summer, the leaves begin to turn yellow and dry. In early spring, the bulb releases new shoots.

Features of the wild garlic plant

Types and varieties

Ramson is a name for two very similar types of wild onions.

Bear onions, or European wild garlic, are more commonly found on the market. The halo of its natural habitat is Europe, the Mediterranean and the Caucasus. The oblong bulb of wild garlic, which has a thickness of about 1 cm, produces a triangular stem with a height of 15 to 40 cm. At its top, a tuft umbrella of 3-25 white flowers blooms. The plant has two sharp lanceolate leaves 3-5 cm wide. Planting is possible in shaded areas. Popular varieties are Bear cub and Bear ear.
The victorious onion is found in the Far East and in the northern latitudes. Differs in large size. Plant height reaches 70 cm. The rhizome unites several bulbs, due to which the wild garlic grows in a dense bush. A dense spherical inflorescence of small white flowers forms on the stem.

Soil preparation

A shady place under the crowns of trees and bushes is chosen for growing wild garlic. Planting in a well-lit area is undesirable - in such conditions, the leaves of wild garlic coarse and shrink. At the same time, the proximity to other fruit and berry plants provides them with additional care. Phytoncides, which form wild garlic, frightens off parasites and inhibits the development of bacteria.

Preparing the soil for planting wild garlic

Planting is carried out on loose, sufficiently permeable soil. To prepare the site:

• the place is cleared of weeds;
• the earth is dug to a depth of about 30 cm;
• add organic fertilizers - humus or compost, ammonium nitrate, superphosphate, potassium salt.

The soil must be neutral. Lime is added on soils with high acidity.

Planting bulbs

The plant is propagated vegetatively and by seed. Growing from an onion is the easiest and fastest option. Planting is carried out during the dormant period of the plant. It falls in late summer or early spring. For this:

• choose planting material with a strengthened root system;
• the distance between the holes is made at least 35 cm;
• the bulb is planted 2/3 in the ground;
• sprinkle with earth and watered abundantly;
• mulch with rotted foliage.

In the first year of planting, the bulb takes root in a new place. By autumn, wild garlic has not yet reached its usual size. Until October, cultivation is reduced to the formation of a new replacement bulb.Therefore, you should not expect a harvest before next summer. A new place is transplanted every 6-7 years.

Seed propagation

If there is nowhere to get the bulbs, it is easy to master the method of how to grow wild garlic from seeds.

Experts recommend using freshly harvested seeds. These have the highest germination.

Sowing in winter will provide natural seed stratification. Without this process, seedling cultivation will last at least a year.

Seeds: Ramson "bear cub"

Crops are carried out according to the following scheme:

• the soil is generously moistened;
• grooves are prepared with a depth of about 1-2 cm;
• plant seeds;
• covered with humus or peat.

Care for fresh plantings consists of regular watering. The seedlings that hatch are very delicate, so loosen the ground and weed them very carefully.

Often, experienced gardeners carry out crops in shallow boxes with a nutritious substrate, which are dropped in the open ground. This provides additional protection against weeds and pests.

Growing in this way will provide a full-fledged plant in the third year. It will be possible to acquire your own seeds in the fourth.

Further care

Ramson is unpretentious, it requires minimal care. Basically, it consists in proper watering, mulching and shelter for the winter.

Further care of the plant

It is a moisture-loving plant, and it especially needs abundant watering during the growing season. The soil is stopped moistening from mid-July, when the foliage begins to acquire a yellow tint.
The bulbs put down horizontal roots and each year they rise from the ground by an average of 0.5 cm. Therefore, it will be useful to mulch them with fallen leaves.
In winters with little snow, plantings are covered with spruce branches, straw.

Fertilization

For the cultivation to be successful, it does not hurt to additionally fertilize the soil. Top dressing is carried out starting from the third year after sowing:

• nitrogen fertilizers are applied in April - 15 g of urea per 1 bucket of water;
• fertilizing with mineral fertilizers is carried out after flowering - 25 g of wood ash per 1 bucket of water.

Pests and diseases

Ramson is highly resistant to pests and diseases. Rust appears on foliage occasionally. Caring for such plants consists in spraying once every two weeks with a solution of copper oxychloride with the addition of liquid soap.

Wild garlic can be annoyed by the larva of the miner fly. They struggle with it by evening watering with a 1 percent solution of sodium chloride. The next morning, wash off the plaque with simple watering with clean water.

Useful properties of wild garlic

This perennial herb is rich in trace elements and vitamins, phytoncides and mineral salts, as well as essential oils. She has a pleasant pungent taste and a bright garlic aroma.

Both its juicy greens and a spicy onion are eaten. It is used as a spice, added to salads and first courses, pickled and canned.

Ramson is known for its bactericidal and antihelminthic action. Thanks to these and other useful properties, it is used in folk medicine for the treatment of stomach disorders, intestinal disorders of an infectious nature, hypertension, vitamin deficiency and other ailments.

Harvesting begins in the third year after planting. Therefore, it would be wise to set aside two beds for wild garlic, and use its vitamin greens in turn. So you will give time to restore the leaf mass, and provide yourself with a healthy and tasty product.
