Gardeners' mistakes when growing strawberries

If the climate is not suitable for the variety, the fruits will not ripen well.

What not to do:

• Plant shrubs with lots of foliage. When planting, it is necessary to remove all the leaves, except for the two youngest ones. Otherwise, excess foliage can dry out the seedlings and weaken them.
• Do not prune the roots. They must be shortened to 10 cm. Then the roots of the seedlings during planting can be freely distributed over the planting pit.
• Do not take a bath before boarding. Before planting, seedlings must be cleaned of pests and diseases. To do this, they need to be immersed in hot water (45-50 degrees) for 5-10 minutes.
• Feed organic strawberries. The introduction of mullein or manure leads to the rapid growth of whiskers and leaves and interferes with full-fledged fruiting.
• Plant mature bushes. Rooted sockets of the current year are most suitable for planting, since old bushes do not bear fruit well.
• Plan a new plantation every 3-4 years. The beds are best exploited every 2-3 years.
• Do not huddle strawberry bushes. Humped bushes produce large berries and bear fruit better.

Tip # 2. Chemical treatments are necessary and do not harm plants if they are sprayed before flowering and harvesting, but they will help in pest control.

Strawberries are grown everywhere: from the warm coast of the Black Sea region to the northern corners of our country. But not all varieties of this culture are suitable for planting in a particular region. Many of the varieties are zoned, and for good reason. For example, in the Moscow region, where, it would seem, the climate is ideal for this fragrant berry, gardeners and gardeners prefer frost-resistant varieties. After all, the middle zone of Russia is famous for unpredictable spring and autumn frosts. In addition, there are many more nuances that must be taken into account if we choose varieties for cultivation in the Moscow region.

Variety selection criteria

The Moscow region is characterized by unexpected frosts in late spring and early autumn. It is impossible to predict them in advance, so quite often most of the landings die from them. However, if the plants themselves survive, frost beats the peduncles and the harvest will not have to wait either. For this reason, cold-resistant varieties are chosen for cultivation.

Remontant and ultra-early strawberry varieties are unpopular with gardeners of the Moscow Region. They are the ones who most often suffer from frost.

Another important criterion for choosing a variety is drought tolerance. Summer weather in this region is quite mild, warm, with frequent rains. But in recent years, the climate has presented frequent surprises in the form of prolonged heat waves. Accordingly, it is worth making sure that the strawberries feel comfortable at any time of the year.

In addition to weather conditions, experts advise when choosing a variety to pay attention to the following indicators:

• yield,
• strawberry fruit size,
• resistance to diseases and pests,
• the taste of berries
• ripening terms.
