In the garden, they can ripen throughout the summer, up to the first frost. However, not all so simple.

For example, frequent and abundant fruiting leads to a rapid depletion of the shoots, so that next year the plants may not yield at all or the berries will become small and tasteless. How to avoid such a nuisance? Are there certain secrets of growing remontant crops? Let's find out.

Planting strawberries

Planting this type of strawberry is no different from the usual one. For this, it is very important to choose healthy and strong seedlings that can take root in a new place.

In addition, you should carefully study the features of the selected variety: in what place will the shoots take root most comfortably? Do they love the sun or, on the contrary, the shadow? Do they prefer a calm area on a hill, or is the lowland and dampness the best conditions for their growth? If the basic rules for a particular species are followed, then the strawberry harvest will be tasty and abundant.

But still, there are some secrets related only to remontant varieties. For example, in most cases, such a culture is very fond of space and sunlight, so the distance between the bushes should not be less than forty centimeters.

Care features

Growing remontant strawberries and caring for them requires some effort and expense. But believe me, it's worth it!

First of all, it is important to remember that such crops are very fond of moisture. Therefore, watering should be carried out as often as possible. For better absorption of liquid, it is better to mulch the bushes. This can be done with sawdust, dry grass, or leaves. This protection will not only keep the soil moist and moist, but will also prevent ripe fruit from contaminating the bunches on the ground.

To get a bountiful harvest, the plant should be regularly fed with mineral and organic fertilizers.

Specific types of varieties

Modern varieties of remontant strawberries differ from each other in taste, appearance, fruit shape, endurance, etc.

Other advantages of the Queen Elizabeth II variety are large berries (approximately sixty to one hundred grams each), abundant yield (up to one and a half kilograms per bush), spectacular color (rich raspberry, glossy color), decent density and transportability, pleasant gustatory range. True, not everyone agrees that the “royal” fruits are juicy and fragrant. Some gourmets consider them slightly sweet and even “wadded”. But, most likely, the taste of this strawberry variety depends on the conditions of their ripening.

There is one more small drawback of Elizabeth II - it is her rapid weakening.The next year, the berries will become very small, and the yield will drop sharply. Therefore, the plant of this variety should be updated every new year.

Berries of the Albion variety are very sweet and aromatic, have a shiny glossy surface of bright red color. During transportation, they can keep their shape and appearance for a long time.

Albion is not as productive as Elizabeth II, since the weight of its largest berry reaches only sixty grams, while the yield of the bush varies from five hundred to seven hundred grams.

Strawberry bourbon

This variety has excellent taste and abundant harvest. Bright red juicy berries weighing up to sixty grams do not change in volume until the last fruiting. They are resistant to both low and high temperatures, have strong immunity to some diseases and pests.

Ali Baba's strawberry

The small-fruited Ali Baba strawberry variety can be safely attributed to the remontant strawberry variety, since the fruits have a particularly pleasant taste and aroma of this forest beauty.

Bright red fruits weighing up to ten grams ripen throughout the summer period, so about half a kilogram of ripe and juicy berries can be harvested from a small strawberry bush in one season.

The variety is characterized by unprecedented resistance to drought, frost and diseases, it is noted for ease of cultivation and care.

An original way to grow remontant strawberries, which will bring an excellent harvest of fruits

In the soil for growing remontant strawberries, melt water should not stagnate, but it should absorb moisture well. Therefore, organic fertilizers must be added to it. Especially a lot of them are needed on heavy clay substrates. For this, wood ash, humus, bird droppings are used.

Strawberries are in dire need of feeding during the growing season. Therefore, during this period, organic fertilizers must be added to the irrigation water once a week. But even with regular feeding, remontant strawberries do not have enough nutrition. Due to its ultra-high yield and high activity, it so badly needs additional portions of micro- and macroelements.

Tip # 1. It is necessary to feed the plant roots with liquid complex fertilizers for berries every month.

If you cannot use organic substances every week, it is necessary to increase the amount of the working solution of complex fertilizers for each bush with monthly feeding. In this case, the concentration of the mixture is prepared strictly according to the instructions.

  • They feed remontant strawberries at least 3 times a year, and just in time. Until the foliage grows rapidly, it can be fed from a solution of manure and ammonium sulfate. Read also the article: → “How to feed strawberries in the fall. The experience of gardeners ”.To do this, 1 tablespoon of sulfate is mixed with 2 cups of cow dung and diluted in 10 liters of water. 1 liter of solution is poured under each bush.
  • In the first year of planting, plants are watered with a mullein solution (1 glass per 5 liters of water) at the rate of one glass of the mixture for each bush. Nettle infusion works well: a bucket of freshly picked herbs is poured with water and left to infuse for 3 days. You can spray the bushes with this infusion for the first time even before the strawberries bloom. The second is when the crop is harvested.
  • At the end of May, before flowering, it is also fertilized with a mixture of 10 liters of water, 2 tablespoons of nitrophoska and 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate. Pour 0.5 liters of this fertilizer under each bush.
  • It is advisable to carry out top dressing in the spring, before the leaves bloom. This can be done simultaneously with the removal of old whiskers and leaves, as well as transplantation.

How to feed a berry during flowering

You can feed strawberries with chicken droppings and humus very carefully, because when you fall asleep a bush, you risk ruining the entire future harvest.

  • Strawberries need a lot of potassium to form fruit. Therefore, as a top dressing, you can take an infusion of chicken manure, ash or potassium nitrate.
  • During the flowering period, strawberries are sprayed with 0.02% zinc sulfate solution. At the very beginning of flowering, it can be fertilized with a mullein solution. In order to increase the yield, strawberry bushes are sprayed with microelements during flowering and the formation of ovaries: add a pinch of boric acid to 10 liters of water. You can also use ready-made fertilizers created specifically for strawberries.
  • The yield of berries can be increased by 30% using a complex fertilizer, which contains all the necessary trace elements.
  • However, feeding remontant strawberries is needed not only during flowering. Secondary fertilizers should be added to the soil immediately after the main crop is harvested - in mid or late July. Leaves and whiskers are cut at the same time. Then the bushes are treated with a solution of 2% Bordeaux liquid to destroy parasites and insects living in plants.
  • The last time young plants, which are one year old, are fed in mid-September in dry weather.

Feeding remontant strawberries with yeast

Feeding strawberries in spring with boric acid

More recently, gardeners and gardeners began to use yeast to feed strawberries. This improves the yield. Yeast can be used as a fertilizer for other berries and vegetables. Plants are fed 2 times per season. A 5 liter bucket is usually enough for 10 bushes. A 1-kg pack of yeast is diluted in 5 liters of water.

Tip # 2. For feeding, 0.5 liters of the mixture is diluted in 10 liters of water. Pour 0.5 liters of the mixture under each strawberry bush.

In addition to the usual, you can use fast yeast. 1 bag of dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar are diluted in a little warm water and left to infuse for 2 hours. When watering, add 0.5 liters of solution to the watering can.

This picture perfectly shows what a big harvest a remontant strawberry gives with proper care.

The most dangerous diseases:

  • gray rot (see → how to treat gray rot on strawberries),
  • powdery mildew (how to treat powdery mildew),
  • late blight wilting,
  • brown spot
  • brown, white, angular spotting.

Agrotechnology of remontant strawberries provides for the prevention and control of pests and diseases. The main preventive measure is the selection of resistant varieties. The reason for the total spread of fungal infections can be high humidity, dense plantings. Mulching does not allow strawberries to come into contact with waterlogged soil, and this saves them from rot. Read in more detail: → "6 diseases and 5 main pests of strawberries: how to treat and how to fight."

Strawberries cannot be planted in a place where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes used to grow, from which they can inherit verticillary and fusarium wilting. At the first symptoms of the disease, the bushes must be immediately treated with 2% Bordeaux liquid, potassium permanganate or phytosporin.

To suppress the dangerous pest of strawberries - the strawberry mite, insecticides are used. But they can only be applied after harvest. If aphids have started in the leaves and shoots of strawberries, they can be scared off with a solution of laundry soap with the addition of wood ash.

How to care for remontant strawberries?

Experienced summer residents argue that large-fruited remontant strawberries (popularly called rem. Strawberries) need not only regular feeding, a high level of agricultural technology, but also a significant frequent replacement of fruiting bushes. Of course, the bush will bear fruit the next year, and in a year, however, the yield may significantly decrease, compared to that which will give a young plant.

Therefore, in late spring or early summer, you need to leave a little mustache from young (at the age of 1 and a little over a year) well-bearing plants. As soon as the whiskers take root, they should be separated and planted for growing in containers, or immediately in the place of their permanent cultivation in the next season. The young plant is grown, the bush is allowed to develop, and fruiting is allowed in the second half of summer. The main work of the remontant strawberry lies in the next season.

Thus, remontant strawberries are grown for 1.5 seasons, then the aged plant is removed. To make the most of the opportunities, accelerate the onset of fruiting and extend it in the fall, it is better to cover the remontant strawberries with a non-woven cloth, with periodic access of pollinating insects.
