6 of the best early ripening strawberries
This variety of garden strawberries is notable for its early flowering and the appearance of the first harvest at the end of May. In the northern regions, in particular in the Urals and Siberia, such bushes suffer from the first frost, so they have to be plucked so that the plant does not waste energy on color. And although many of the following can hardly be called the best strawberry varieties for Siberia, if you grow them in a greenhouse or a well-insulated greenhouse, you can get a really great harvest already at the very beginning of summer.
In the south, all varieties give a crop strictly on schedule, the mustache does not freeze, although this also depends on the climate, and in general, early varieties are still better grown in the southern regions.

Extremely susceptible to strawberry mites, you need to carefully check the condition of the leaves in the morning. In addition, strawberry leaves are low, covering both the flower stalks and the berries themselves, due to which they begin to rot. In order to avoid such putrefactive processes, it is recommended to use straw underlays under each bush - gently poke straw or dry grass around to prevent the berry from contact with the soil.

Marshmallow
One of the most prolific strawberry varieties of Danish origin. Tall bushes, an abundance of flower stalks, a rich harvest (3-4 kg from each bush), immunity to diseases - all this is ideal for the Russian climate with only one exception - in winter, the bush requires shelter. If the winter is snowy, then under a cap of snow, the bushes are able to withstand frost up to 40 degrees. If there is no such hat, all vegetation can be lost already at -50C. In advance, even if the winter is predicted to be snowy, cover the entire field with the remains of straw, dry manure, cellophane or cut branches - all this will make it possible to protect the strawberries from frost.
