Growing a plant

Seedlings of remontant strawberries are usually planted in the soil on which the vegetable crop previously grew. The moisture content of the earth should correspond to 70-80%. To achieve this, it is necessary to pour 750 ml of water into 1 kg of dry substrate, after which everything should be mixed well, being careful not to form lumps.

Seedlings are planted in a tray made of solid material, the diameter of which should be about 10-15 cm. This container must be filled with prepared soil. Leave about 3 cm of free space on top. Then you need to scatter the strawberry seeds and sprinkle a little with dry earth. After that, saturate the soil with a spray bottle.

To cultivate a variety of mustache-free remontant strawberries, you must adhere to certain rules. In natural conditions, seeds must be in the sun to grow. If they are open, then many processes appear. This applies not only to remontant varieties of culture, but also to ordinary ones.

When the strawberry seeds are planted, you can cover the tray with plastic transparent wrap and then put it in a warm place. After three weeks, the first shoots will be shown in it, which need to be watered from time to time.

Planting seedlings in open ground

The area for further growing of strawberry bushes should be sheltered from the winds and sufficiently illuminated.

The best remontant strawberries should be planted in early May. Previously, the beds should be free of weeds. You also need to loosen the soil and add compost. The most favorable lands for planting crops are fertile medium loamy, which in their structure are more close to neutral.

On the prepared bed, you need to dig a depression and pour water over it. Seedlings of remontant strawberries are carefully taken out of the vessel where they grew, and planted with a piece of earth in this hole. Before planting, the root system can be covered with Kornevin. Then it is required to compact the soil around each young plant planted.

Landing principles

There are some simple planting rules for growing a crop efficiently.

1. The best remontant strawberries should be planted in May.
2. The bed must be completely weed-free.
3. About a month before planting seedlings, fertilizer or manure must be applied to the soil at the rate of 5 kg / square meter.
4. Before planting seedlings, the soil is fertilized with ammonium nitrate, superphosphate and potassium salt.
5. It is not worth planting seedlings too deep.
6. The gaps between the plants should be about 70 cm, and between the rows - 40 cm.
7. Garden strawberries are planted only on a cool day, preferably in rainy weather.
8. Watering the hole is carried out with a small volume of water.
9. The use of growth solutions for the root system of the culture is recommended.
10. After planting the plant, the soil must be compacted to the maximum so that no voids remain.

Whichever method is chosen to get an excellent harvest, all agricultural conditions should be adhered to. Just remontant varieties, due to the specifics of their physiology, are considered the most whimsical in the care and seating requirements. In one locality, the culture can grow for about 2-3 seasons, and with appropriate care - 5-7 years.

Fast ripening times, high yield, sweet taste, extraordinary aroma, many vitamins - this is what remontant strawberries can boast of. There are very different reviews about her.

Someone thinks that such plants cannot take root in our regions, give far from generous harvests and require careful care, while someone has been planting remontant strawberries for a long time and does not even want to remember the traditional culture.

feature, this is a big load on the bushes, it is not so easy to bear fruit several times over the summer, therefore some bushes age quickly, and some even die immediately after fruiting.

When growing such varieties, you have to choose, either several harvests, but the berries quickly become smaller, or one good harvest of large, sweet strawberries.

For such a berry, you need maximum care and fertilization more often than for a regular one.

I often hear such statements that they bought remontant seedlings, they bore fruit for a year and "fizzled out". The plant lays several ripening buds and does not have enough strength for the next harvest. Therefore, when growing remontant varieties, be prepared for the fact that the life of your bushes will be bright, but short-lived.

The best varieties of remontant strawberries, their features

Probably everyone would like to feast on strawberries throughout the summer.

But today such a dream can be realized, since varieties have been bred that bear fruit for a long period. Such strawberries are called remontant.

Growing it, the owner can harvest the fruits all summer. In order not to be mistaken, you need to know what are the best varieties of remontant strawberries.

:

• Features of remontant strawberries
• Small-fruited varieties
• Large-fruited varieties

The remontant strawberry has a great advantage, since it is capable of bearing fruit more than once during the growing season. For the first time, gardeners can harvest in June, when fruits begin to appear in other varieties of strawberries. After that, the berries will begin to appear again in August. Sometimes there is a third wave in the fall, when the strawberry bears fruit again. But this happens when there is no frost, and the ground is protected. In remontant varieties, flower buds begin to form. Of these, berries will appear in the future. The best harvest can be harvested on the second fruiting.

It should be remembered that these types of strawberries have an accelerated cycle. If large-fruited varieties have been planted, then too small berries can be harvested next year. This is due to the fact that the cycle of such varieties is 1 year, but for ordinary strawberries it lasts about 3 years. But this phenomenon can be avoided. To do this, you need to adhere to the following rules:

• Seedlings are planted in the ground from July to September
• When the planting was carried out, all the flowers that appeared are cut off.
• For seedlings, a mustache that grows from mother plants, or seeds are suitable
• When fruiting is over, all the bushes are removed, and this procedure is done in the autumn, when frosts have not yet appeared

But the beds do not remain empty, as they are covered with straw, sawdust or other mulch.Strawberries should not be planted thickly, they should have enough space. The garden bed where it grows should be well lit. Attention is also paid to the soil, a good harvest can be harvested on fertile land. There should be about 40 centimeters between each bush. The distance between the rows is more than half a meter. To prevent slugs from attacking strawberries, experienced gardeners plant garlic between the rows, as it repels these pests. There are also certain rules for the care of the crop that must be adhered to in order to get a quality crop. Namely:

• The soil is systematically mulched and loosened
• Strawberries need frequent and good watering
• After a while, you need to feed the plant.
• Strawberries should be protected from disease and pests
• The bushes need to be watched, and if necessary, eliminate the red foliage and mustache
• When the first crop has been harvested, the foliage is trimmed

When winter comes, protection from the cold is created, or the strawberries are moved to protected ground. If everything is done correctly, then the harvest will be of good quality and quantity. In addition, you should not forget that there is more than one type of remontant strawberry, therefore, before planting, you should familiarize yourself with the features of each type.
