When to transplant strawberries to a new place in the fall: timing and technology. How to Grow Victoria Garden Victoria Planting

Greetings, dear readers!

One of the first varieties of well-known garden strawberries is the Victoria berry. Victoria fruits have an extraordinary aroma; they look beautiful and appetizing on a platter. Victoria is a berry that has many valuable properties and contains nutrients. It contains vitamin C. The name Victoria is very suitable for this berry. To feel Victoria - victory - you need to see a well-groomed garden of beautiful berries. And for this you need to properly care for the plant.

Let's talk about how to grow victoria in the garden area.

Victoria breeds with a mustache. They usually appear by mid-summer. For further cultivation of the plant, the rosettes located next to the mother bush are used. Mustache from biennial plants works best. You need to plant a rosette with four leaves on a ridge, separating it from the general plant.

Victoria bushes are planted in spring or autumn. But at the same time, the site for planting is prepared in advance. For spring planting, the beds are prepared in the fall, and for the fall - in June, not forgetting to fertilize the ground. It is advisable to plant Victoria on level ground with a slope in the western direction. In winter, snow should accumulate on the site, so that the Victoria bushes do not die. In this regard, the garden bed must be positioned so that it is not strongly blown by the wind.

In order to plant the bushes, it is necessary to make holes on the prepared bed in which the mustache dug out along with the lump of soil are placed. This should be done immediately, without leaving the outlet for the next days.

Berry - Victoria is susceptible to infection, in order to prevent this disease, the soil on the ridge is mulched with wood shavings or straws, 10 cm thick. At the same time, the leaves of the plant are not covered. When the crop is harvested, the ground around the berry bushes must be loosened. When the roots are exposed, the berry is huddled, regular weeding of Victoria is the key to getting a good harvest.

Before flowering, in order to prevent gray rot disease, it is necessary to spray with an iodine solution.

Special requirements apply to the watering of the bushes. Moderate watering of the plant will allow you to save a large amount of vitamin products. Without additional moisture, Victoria will grow if you cover it with snow in winter, carry out high-quality weeding, and do timely and regular loosening of the soil.

For today it's all about how to grow victoria Location on.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to eat some victoria berries. Its taste is canceled, and the benefits are immeasurable. When consumed, you must carefully rinse the fruit under running running water. You can use garden strawberries for fasting days due to their low calorie content. Drinking a decoction of berries and leaves will help you lose those extra pounds.

See you, dear friends!

Irina Lebedeva, an accountant by profession and a gardener by vocation, has been growing Victoria for 40 years. But even with this experience, it is recognized that the results are different and depend on weather conditions, seedlings or seeds. That is why he does not like to experiment and plants exclusively early varieties. A plot of 12 acres in the village of Krasnoe got her from her parents. There she and her husband Sergei Vladimirovich spend every summer. During this time, up to 3 kg of berries are harvested from one bush. At the same time, the berries are large in size - the size of a child's cam.

Victoria, or, scientifically speaking, large-fruited garden strawberry is one of my favorite berries, - says Irina Aleksandrovna. - Despite the fact that there is not so much space on the site, I allocated 3 beds for her, so that she would not only have enough fresh food, but also make preparations for the winter.

When and where to plant

Irina Lebedeva:

I usually plant in early May. I believe that the earlier it is planted, the better it develops. I plant in the evening so that the strawberries can acclimatize overnight.

Expert Vyacheslav Dolgovykh:

It is better to prepare the beds in the fall, and in the spring, immediately start planting. Strawberries love a sunny, open place. The direction of the beds is desirable from south to north. It is in this arrangement that she makes the most of the solar energy. Try not to plant it under an apple or cherry tree. Soil moisture is another important factor. If the groundwater is close, then the bed must be raised to 30-35 cm so that the roots do not rot. In dry places, the beds are low - 8-10 cm.

It is better to plant seedlings grown using the Frigo technology in spring (read more about it on our website). Grown with tendrils or seeds, if the roots of the plant are strong, can be planted right now so that the plant is ready for the temperature drop in September.

The plants planted now need to be fed with microelements for berry crops, for example, "Gumi-omi". You can treat the beds with special chemicals for the prevention of diseases and pests, for example, "Fufanon", "Ordan", "Abiga-Peak".

How to plant

Irina Lebedeva:

I make the distance between the rows 60 cm, and between the plants in a row - 20 cm. I make the depth of the hole for the entire length of the root. I dip the root of the plant in a solution of mullein or humus with the ground. I add 1 tbsp to the hole. l. "Agrovit-Cora" or a pinch of "Kemira-Universal". I plant it so that the growing point is at the level of the soil. Shallow or, conversely, deep planting leads to the death of plants or to their poor development. After planting, I water it with water - 250 ml per plant as the soil dries up.

Expert Vyacheslav Dolgovykh:

First of all, we note that the guarantee of a large harvest is high-quality, healthy planting material. In our case, this means a developed root system of at least 15 cm and a small rosette of leaves. The distance between the plants should be a little more than Irina does: between the rows - 70 cm, and between the plants in a row - 30 cm.When she is planted less often, she gets sick less often, gives more yield, and the distance promotes ventilation and good lighting.

In the garden, they first get rid of the weeds, then align and make holes depending on the size of the root, that is, for its entire length. Then compost (a couple of scoops), ash (half a matchbox for one hole) and a little earth are placed in this hole. All this mass is mixed, watered and only then the strawberries are planted. Then they cover it with earth and water it again.

Before planting in a summer cottage, it is necessary to draw up a plan and observe the crop rotation. That is, alternate certain crops in the beds. Strawberries can be planted after any predecessors, except for nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, petunias, tobacco). But you cannot plant it next to raspberries, because they have the same pests. Before the formation of peduncles, it is necessary to water from a watering can, and after their appearance - with a ladle under the spine.

The maximum yield of strawberries is the first two years, and then the yield declines, the risk that pests will start up increases. You can plant strawberries in the garden where they grew after 2 seasons. Before that, you can plant garlic or mustard, which will heal the soil. You can also grow strawberries where legumes were planted in the previous season.

How to prepare for wintering?

Irina Lebedeva:

In autumn, when the temperature reaches 2-5C, I cover the bed with Agrotexom (covering material). And in the spring, when the snow melts, I take it off.

Expert Vyacheslav Dolgovykh:

Each summer resident has his own way of mulching (covering the soil with a protective layer) of strawberries - mowed lawn grass, sawdust of deciduous trees, hay. But one of the means that will save the gardener from unnecessary trouble is "Kostravit-M1" mulch. It protects the soil from overheating, retains moisture longer, rescues pests and inhibits weed growth. Also, mulch will save strawberries from freezing in winter. The recommended thickness of the mulch layer is 1.5-2 cm in spring, and 3 cm before winter.

Which varieties should you choose?

This year Irina Aleksandrovna didn't have so many berries, but they were all very large, about 8 cm in length. The hostess believes that this is the merit of the variety, which has not let her down for the 2nd season already. Despite the size, the taste doesn't get any worse. The main varieties that Irina Aleksandrovna uses are Gigantella and Festivalnaya.

Expert Vyacheslav Dolgovykh:

All varieties are divided into 4 groups: early, medium, late ripening and remontant. It all depends on the preference of the summer resident, what kind of strawberries he wants to see on his site.

Early varieties ripen at the end of June - these are "Kimberly", "Crown", "Olvia". The berries are sweet, large, bright red, winter-hardy.

Medium ripen in early July - "Rusich", "Black Swong", "Vima-Zanta", "Zenga-Zengana". Berries from 20 g, sweet and sour taste, average winter hardiness.

Late - in the middle of July - "Vima Tarda", "Vicoda", "Charlotte". Berries of medium size, sweet and sour taste, good winter hardiness.

Garden strawberry repairing. She gives berries a little, but all summer. Also, their peculiarity is that the berries are larger and sweeter than those of ordinary varieties. Blooms from May to October: Vima-Rina, Geneva, Moscow Delicacy, Brighton, Queen Elizabeth II.

How to reproduce?

Irina Aleksandrovna propagates strawberries with a mustache. Just now, I transplanted her to the garden bed where the onion grew.

Expert Vyacheslav Dolgovykh:

This method has many disadvantages, although it is simple to use. After 3 generations, the berry begins to lose its properties. They become smaller, the taste deteriorates, the yield declines, and the susceptibility to diseases increases. The next disadvantage is the transfer of diseases from garden to garden. The strawberries, on which gardeners leave a mustache, spend their energy not on laying fruit buds, but on feeding their young shoots.

To avoid these problems, it is necessary to update the planting material, that is, to take the seedlings of the first reproduction. They give the maximum yield. Seedlings of this class can be found today. Sellers must have a variety certificate to prove this.

There is another modern way - the new frigo technology (translated as "cold"). Throughout the summer, farmers grow strawberries in the open field in nurseries. During this time, she is not allowed to give the crop, the mustache is removed. Then the strawberries are dug up, the leaves are cut off, and the seedlings are stored in the refrigerator. And in this state, it is stored until the moment when it needs to be planted. To us, in Udmurtia, frozen roots are brought from a Dutch nursery in the spring. After planting it, gardeners receive a guaranteed harvest in two months. You can make an application for the purchase of seedlings of 1 reproduction using frigo technology by calling the Agricultural Academy 55-02-07, (the average price is 25-35 rubles per seedling).

How to care?

Irina Aleksandrovna makes liquid fertilizing for strawberries twice a season. The first time - in May, before flowering, and the second time - in early July, after harvest.

Irina Lebedeva:

For liquid feed for strawberries, I use fresh chicken manure. A few hours before feeding the beds I water well. Then, in 10 liters of water, I thoroughly stir a portion of fresh chicken manure at the rate of 1:10 and water it evenly from a watering can. After harvesting, I remove all weeds, loosen the soil around all the bushes and cover with a small layer of cow dung to fertilize the soil. I don't use any chemicals.

Expert Vyacheslav Dolgovykh:

Experts advise feeding strawberries in spring with nitrogen fertilizers in accordance with the instructions on the package (for example, AFC 16-16-16, 10 grams per square meter). But don't overdo it. It is also recommended to regularly introduce a complex of trace elements for berry crops, for example, "Gumi-omi". After harvesting, it can be treated with special chemicals for the prevention of diseases and pests, for example "Fufanon", "Ordan", "Abiga Peak".

How to get rid of pests

Irina Aleksandrovna is sure that pests do not touch Victoria, because she transplants her to a new place every three years.

Expert Vyacheslav Dolgovykh:

The main pests of strawberries are the beetle larvae (beetles). When digging the beds, you need to remove the larvae by hand. Another method of struggle is to cover the beds when the beetles fly in May with a covering material, film or roofing material.

Another enemies of strawberries are nematodes - small worms. It is very difficult to deal with them. The main way is to maintain a crop rotation. Eliminate the garden bed after 3-4 years of fruiting and burn off plant residues. You can get rid of them with a folk remedy - pour a decoction of marigolds or plant marigolds in a future garden bed for several months. Before planting, when preparing the beds, you can plant it, for example, with mustard, it heals the soil. After a month, you can dig everything up and plant strawberry seedlings.

The size and quality of the strawberry harvest depends on the variety of berries and the observance of agricultural techniques for its cultivation on the site. Garden strawberries do not like to stay in one place for a long time, and starting from the third year, they stop the formation of the rosette, reduce the number of peduncles, which affects the yield. In order for the renewal of the berry plantation to be successful, it is important to know when it is best to transplant strawberries to a new place: in autumn or spring.

Why you need to transplant strawberries to a new place in the fall

The process of replanting strawberries has two goals: to renew the plants and change the place of their cultivation. The peculiarity of this perennial plant is that from the third year of the growing season, the rosette begins to age sharply.

Gardeners love strawberries for active and long-term fruiting.

The change in the berry growing area is due to the accumulation of pathogenic bacteria and fungi in the soil.

Autumn transplant is preferable for the following reasons:

Plants well-rooted in late autumn during wintering lay many peduncles, and already in the next season they begin to actively bear fruit. With a spring transplant, the plant spends energy on rooting, so it forms significantly fewer berries.
Autumn weather is preferable for better rooting of young rosettes. Plants take root quickly during cool autumn days. In addition, the bushes do not need to be watered often because the moisture in the soil lasts longer and the likelihood of rain in autumn is greater than in spring.
In autumn, there is a wide variety of choice of planting material and its price is lower than during the spring excitement of summer residents. If the gardener decides to change the variety grown on the site, he can choose the most profitable option for himself.
A transplant in the fall is also more profitable in terms of physical costs. Work can be carried out without haste, since there are much fewer urgent matters on the site in the fall than in the spring.

Transplant timing

It is impossible to answer the question when it is better to transplant strawberries to a new place in the fall. It all depends on the weather, as well as climatic conditions.

It is the autumn transplant that contributes to the yield.

You should focus on the following indicators:

climatic conditions of the region;
microclimate of the site;
weather;
the quality of the planting material;
ways of breeding berries.

It is better to replant the rosettes at a temperature of 15 to 23 ° C, with sufficient soil moisture.

The optimal transplant times in different regions are as follows:

The middle zone of Russia and the Moscow region - from mid-August to the end of September.
Southern regions - from early September to mid-October.
Northern regions and the Urals - from early June to late July.

IMPORTANT. The timing is adjusted depending on specific weather conditions. If frosts are planned, you should hurry with the transplant, otherwise the seedlings will not have time to take root.

Selection and preparation of a site for planting

The best place to grow strawberries is in the southwestern part of the plot with a slight slope to prevent moisture stagnation. The occurrence of groundwater on the site should not be higher than 80 cm. A small hill will protect the roots from decay, which may appear in early spring after the snow melts.

Weather conditions establish certain requirements for the rules for transplanting, watering, pruning plants.

The selected area should be sunny, but not blown by strong through winds. Adequate amount of sun will allow you to get not only large berries in large quantities, but also make them sweeter.

Soil preparation

Strawberries prefer fertile soil of 5.7–6.2 pH. Peat and sandy soils are not suitable for the plant.

The correct selection of fertilizers, timely digging and loosening can create all conditions for the rapid growth and ripening of berries.

The best predecessors of strawberries:

radish;
carrot;
legumes;
garlic;
greens: parsley, dill;
beet.

nightshades, especially potatoes;
cabbage;
cucumbers.

ADVICE. It is advisable to plant the area chosen for strawberries in spring with onions or garlic, or sow siderates: lupines, cereals.

Dig the strawberry bed deeply. 70 g of superphosphate, 30 g of ammonium nitrate and potassium salt are added to the soil per 1 square meter. After preparation, the site is left for 10-14 days for the soil to settle.

For disinfection, experienced gardeners are advised to treat the area with an antiseptic solution: add 3 tbsp for 10 liters of water. l. vegetable oil, 2 tbsp. l. ash, 2 tbsp. l. vinegar, 2 tbsp. l. liquid soap or dishwashing detergent.

Features of reproduction of remontant varieties

Unlike conventional varieties, remontant strawberries do not produce whiskers - aerial branches. Therefore, the planting is carried out by dividing an adult bush.

A rosette of a remontant variety is dug out of the soil. It consists of a central lignified root, to which young shoots are attached. The bush is divided into several parts so that each one has personal roots 5–7 centimeters long.

Repairability - the ability to repeatedly bloom and bear fruit

Old leaves and remaining peduncles are removed from the separated process. If you leave them on the outlet, the plant will lose strength and will take root too slowly. The root is dipped in Fitosporin-M for 2 hours. This technique will protect the plant from fungus and fill the roots with vitality. After this time, the sockets are planted according to the technology described above.

Plant care after transplantation and feeding for the winter

Young outlets need help to settle down. To do this, they are regularly watered, treated against pests, loosened up the soil, and removed weeds. If there is no rain, in the first 10 days, watering is carried out every other day. Then the frequency is reduced.

If mustaches begin to form on the transplanted plants, they are immediately removed so that the outlet does not waste energy. If there is a threat of frost, the strawberries are covered with a covering material.

When transplanting strawberries and preparing them for winter, special attention is paid to feeding. At this time, the main nutrients of the plant are phosphorus and potassium.

Experts advise feeding the bushes with the following compounds to feed the rooting outlets:

Wood ash. It has the optimal content of phosphorus, potassium, and also contains calcium, boron, zinc, iodine and copper. It makes no sense to pour dry matter on the soil, since the nutrition of the roots in this case will be limited. For feeding, an infusion is prepared: 300 g of ash is dissolved in 10 liters of water and left for 4 days. Fertilize each bush with a liter of infusion.
Superphosphate. Fertilizer is poured with boiling water for a day, during the infusion, the solution is periodically stirred. After insisting, a liter of infusion is poured under each bush.
Combined mixture. For 10 liters of water, take 20 g of nitroammofoska, 30 g of potassium sulfate, 250 g of wood ash. The components are insisted for a day, then 500 ml are consumed for each bush.

IMPORTANT. Top dressing is applied only to moist soil so that the fertilizer does not burn the roots.

Subject to the technology of transplanting strawberries in the fall, the plant takes root well over the winter. In the spring it will give a rich harvest.

One of the popular varieties of large-fruited garden strawberries is called Victoria. In the summer, it flaunts on the beds of most summer cottages, since the requirements for its cultivation are not too high, and a bountiful harvest more than pays for all the energy expended. This berry is planted both in spring and autumn. Consider in the article how to properly plant Victoria in the fall, so that it does not suffer in winter and pleases with juicy fragrant fruits in summer.

Choosing a site for planting Victoria

This berry belongs to varieties, which allows you to delay the planting of Victoria until late autumn. However, it is better to avoid extremes, after all, the plant must have time to take root, otherwise there is a great risk that the bushes will die in winter or give an extremely low yield in the first year. Victoria planting is carried out on a well-lit flat area, closed from the winds. If plants are grown in lowlands, they often get sick and give low yields. Also, in the lowlands, there is often high humidity, which negatively affects the winter hardiness of garden strawberries. A windy area is especially dangerous for the winter period - if the wind blows off the snow from the area, the plants will die from frost.

Victoria's predecessors

Victoria is a picky planting berry in terms of crop rotation. As a perennial plant, it does not live in one place for more than 4 years and requires a transplant. A plant will take root well if legumes, beets, onions, carrots, oats, rye, dill and garlic grew on the site before it. It is absolutely necessary to avoid such predecessors as cucumbers, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, nightshades and strawberries. A plot where strawberries have already grown will be unsuitable for planting Victoria for at least 5 years.

Preparing the soil for autumn planting

Before planting Victoria in the fall, you need to take care of the summer preparation of the soil. Usually, gardeners, a month before the intended planting, bring humus into the soil (about 3 kg per square meter) and dig it up, then level it and trample it down. It is important to get rid of the roots of other plants and insect larvae during digging. Sandy loam soil is ideal for Victoria, therefore sand is often added when digging.

Victoria garden strawberry planting rules

Planting Victoria in the fall is no different from planting in another season. The soil is loosened to a depth of about 8 cm, furrows are made in it and watered abundantly. Correct planting of Victoria requires the following distances between the bushes - 25 cm between plants in the same row and 60 cm between the beds. If the roots of the Victoria are more than 7 cm, they should be pruned. It is important to lower the roots vertically into the ground to ensure rapid growth of the root system, and place the apical bud strictly at ground level. The technology of planting Victoria involves further compaction of the soil near the bush, watering it and mulching it with sawdust in a layer of 5 cm.If you decide to plant Victoria on a covering material, fix it on the garden bed before planting the plants and make holes in those places where the garden bushes will grow strawberries.

Care of Victoria planted in autumn

This is not to say that it requires some intricate actions. In dry weather, watering is required, and it is also necessary to loosen the soil around the bushes and weed it. As for leaving after the autumn planting, it is important to take care of the shelter of the plants from frost. There is no need to rush when the first autumn frosts begin, give Victoria the opportunity to experience them for herself, in some way harden herself. When the temperature drops to -6 ° C, you can cover the plants, for example, cover them with autumn leaves in a layer of 15 cm. Be sure to remove the shelter in early spring so that the plants do not spill out and die.

Collecting a lot of large berries, peeping through the carpet of lush green foliage and exuding a wonderful aroma, is the dream of any summer resident. Its execution is within the power of every owner of a personal plot, one has only to take into account the features that Victoria's planting has, and competently care for the plants. They will certainly thank the caring owner with a generous harvest. The proud name "Victoria" hides the strawberries familiar to everyone. Initially, only one of its varieties was called that - the one that the navigators brought to Russia from America. Over time, there were more varieties of strawberries, among them remontant ones appeared, capable of bearing fruit from 3 to 5 months a year. But in some areas, the name stuck so well that it became a household name.

Requirements for the site and soil quality

For growing Victoria in the garden, you should choose an open place that receives the most sunlight. Strawberries thrive on flat areas or sloping at a slight angle to the west. A prerequisite for plant health is reliable protection of plantings from the wind. In spring and summer, it is not terrible for Victoria, but in winter it can blow off the snow that protects it from freezing from strawberries.

You can count on a rich harvest if the crop is grown on light soft porous soils with a significant admixture of sand. Victoria is hygrophilous, but she does not react well to stagnant water, so she needs a well-drained soil. For cultivation of strawberries, damp swampy lowlands are categorically not suitable. It is not recommended to plant it in areas prone to flooding and in places where there is water from melted snow for a long time in spring.

Repaired Victoria is demanding on the fertility of the soil, it should contain a lot of humus. The ideal option for her is black soil or dark gray forest soil. But in other conditions, strawberries can develop successfully if you properly care for their bushes. Heavy clay soil holding moisture will need to be diluted with manure or humus and sand. The procedure is carried out in the fall. Soil with an acidic reaction is necessarily lime.

You should not plant Victoria in areas where any plants from the Compositae family were placed last season (sunflower, earthen pear, lettuce, asters, chrysanthemums). It is undesirable, but it is possible to breed it after all nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants), as well as cucumbers. But the areas vacated after harvesting cereals, legumes (beans, peas), cabbage crops (radishes, radishes, mustard), garlic and parsley are very good for Victoria. Before planting, they must be dug up, enriching the soil with fertilizers. For 1 m² of surface, it will be correct to apply:

2 buckets of humus;
2 liters of wood ash.

The necessary organic and mineral substances will provide strawberry seedlings and a nutritional composition of the following components:

ammonium nitrate (20 g);
superphosphate (25 g);
potassium salt (20 g);
humus (6 kg).

Preparing to disembark

In terms of planting dates, Victoria provides summer residents with ample opportunities. It is propagated from spring to autumn. Professionals advise planting strawberries in late April or May, when the weather is already warm. If you provide the young bushes with proper care, in the spring they will quickly take root in a new place, they will hurt less and will bring the first berries in June.

For planting, the strongest rosettes with a powerful root system are selected.

It will be easier to take care of Victoria if you prepare a plot for her in advance. In the fall, they dig it up, picking weeds, and apply fertilizers. Remnant strawberries can delight with berries from May to October, but for stable fruiting, they need a lot of nutrients. Therefore, in the spring, the soil is re-enriched with rotted manure (10 liters of substance per 1 m²). This is done 17–20 days before planting.

It is correct to carry out the autumn breeding of Victoria from the second half of August to the first ten days of September, when the probability of frost is minimal. While it is warm, the plants will have time to take root and withstand the cold. Caring for strawberries at this time will not be burdensome, it is enough just to plant the sockets in the soil prepared in advance - since June -. If a remontant variety of culture is chosen for breeding, its features must be taken into account. Constant fruiting greatly weakens the plants, therefore, young bushes of such a Victoria often die in the first year of life. You will have to take care of them more carefully.

Landing rules

Most often, strawberries are bred with a mustache, which its bushes release by mid-summer. Young shoots of Victoria emerge from the nodes located on them. Experienced summer residents advise planting sockets that are closer to the mother bush - the first 2-3. The shoots obtained from 2-year-old plants have the highest survival rate.

When 4-6 leaves appear on the rosettes, they are separated from the mustache, carefully removing the roots along with an earthen lump, and placed in a hole previously spilled with water. The depth of the hole is usually 10-15 cm. It can vary depending on the degree of development of the underground part of the plant. For mature bushes with strong and long roots, it is better to make deeper holes. To make the remontant strawberry easier to take root in a new place, before placing it on the garden bed, its roots must be dipped in a clay chatterbox. It is prepared by mixing two components with water until a creamy state:

1 bucket of clay;
½ bucket of mullein.

It will be easier to care for the plantings if you place the strawberry bushes in rows. Many summer residents prefer to fill them with peculiar ridges up to 10 cm in height. The distance between neighboring plants should be 30-40 cm, and the interval between the rows is made equal to 60-70 cm. Soil is poured into the hole with a slide, a Victoria bush is lowered onto it and its roots are gently spread in different directions. Then the hole is filled with soil. It is correct for the root collar of the bush to rise slightly above the ground or be flush with it. The soil is slightly compacted and the hole is watered abundantly.

When planting, you can add special preparations to the hole to promote rapid rooting.

Garden remnant strawberry responds well to soil mulching. A layer of dry grass, foliage, algae, hay, small straw, needles will help maintain the soil moisture level necessary for the crop. After planting, they are recommended to cover the space under the plants and between the rows. The care carried out in the spring in the form of mulching will have a positive effect on Victoria's yield: strawberries will bring more berries, and they will ripen faster.

Features of agricultural technology

Growing Victoria does not require special skills, but you will have to pay attention to plantings. Caring for them includes standard procedures:

watering;
weeding;
mulching;
top dressing;
loosening.

Both remontant and ordinary strawberries are sensitive to drying out of the soil, reacting to it with a decrease in yield, therefore they often moisten it. You can significantly increase the time interval between waterings if you regularly loosen the soil, mulch the beds, and take snow retention measures in early spring. Victoria's moisturizing treatment is required 4 to 10 times per season, depending on weather conditions. The end of summer and the beginning of autumn is an important period in the life of plants: flower buds are laid in them. If you do not water the plantings at this time, it is better not to pin hopes for a good harvest next year.

During the Victoria season, at least three additional fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizer is required. Organic compounds are also suitable for her. Experienced gardeners recommend using mullein diluted in a ratio of 1:10 for her. It is better to pour it on moist soil. Two dressings are carried out in the spring: after harvesting dead leaves and when the first flower stalks appear. At this time, the plantings require intensive care, on the correctness of which the quality and quantity of the crop depends. To enhance flowering and increase the number of ovaries, strawberries are sprayed with an aqueous solution of boric acid. Do this while there are no buds on the bushes yet. When the peduncles come out and the berries begin to tie, they are treated with zinc sulfate.

To get larger berries, during the ripening period, Victoria's mustache is cut off.

After the plantings have faded, they do not stop caring for them. The distance between the plants and under them is mulched with straw, sawdust or dry moss. This measure will prevent gray mold from damaging the crop. Having collected the last berries from the bushes, they proceed to the third feeding. After it, the soil is loosened well. If the roots of the plants are peeking out of the soil, it is necessary to spud the plantings. On the eve of autumn frosts, one more mulching is carried out using peat, humus or grain waste. They are laid in a thick layer, not less than 5-8 cm. To protect the strawberries from freezing, dry foliage, straw are thrown onto the beds or covered with spruce branches.

It is impossible to resist the tasty and healthy Victoria berries, which is why its cultivation has become a tradition for most summer residents. They are good not only fresh, there are a lot of recipes for winter preparations from garden strawberries. Here and compotes, and jams, and preserves, and preserves, and jelly, and marmalade. Victoria fruits can be dried, frozen, covered in their own juice, made into syrups, liqueurs, wine. They are combined with other fruits and berries - red currants, gooseberries, apricots, peaches, raspberries.

Strawberries cannot be called a capricious culture, although you will have to spend time and effort caring for them. But they will definitely pay off. Subject to simple recommendations, it will be possible to harvest from the bushes already in the first or second year of their life - depending on the selected variety.

Orchard strawberries, often called victoria, have gained wide popularity and distribution in the gardens of various regions of the country. This is due to the simplicity of its reproduction, the early maturity of the culture, the convenience of protection from the harsh weather conditions of winter, and the high dietary and taste qualities of berries. Many gardeners get high yields of Victoria every year, having mastered her agricultural techniques well.

Soil and planting site for Victoria

It is necessary to plant the plant on a plot of land with a slight slope to the west. The place should be protected from the winds... After all, in winter, Victoria is protected from frost by snow, which means that in no case should it be blown away by the wind. The exposed berry can freeze and die. It is desirable to choose sandy loam soil rich in humus.

Others are added to it. fertilizers... It is better to apply fertilizers in the fall, scattering them evenly and digging them up with a shovel. In spring, shallow loosening is necessary in order to level the surfaces and close the moisture. For one square meter of soil where strawberries will be planted, you will need:

twenty grams of potassium chloride;
twenty grams of ammonium nitrate;
twenty-five grams of superphosphate;
six kilograms of humus.

It is best to alternate Victoria's landing with vegetable crops... The best predecessors for this berry are: green spaces (dill, parsley, lettuce), legumes, garlic, onions, root vegetables. And it is not advisable to plant it after potatoes, as the plant can get sick with a nematode.

Reproduction and planting

By the middle of summer, adult Victoria plants grow antennae, on which nodules are located, giving in the future roots and leaves. With the help of such antennae, Victoria reproduces. The three sockets on the mother plant are considered to be of better quality. When four to six leaves appear on such an outlet, it should be separated from the mother plant for planting in a permanent prepared place. In order for the plant to take root quickly and well, it is necessary to dig out sockets with a clod of earth.

Many gardeners plant strawberries in beds ranging from eighty to one hundred centimeters wide and up to fifteen centimeters high. The edges of such beds can be edged with boards, and the aisles can be covered with sawdust.

Victoria is planted throughout the growing season from early spring to the middle of the last month of summer. Planting dates are determined by the availability of the outlets.

For the spring period, the rosettes are grown in seedling beds or buried near the mother bush. In this case, Victoria will bear fruit already this year, albeit slightly.

Very common tape two-row planting scheme... In this case, between the rows in the tape, the distance is made about forty centimeters, between the tapes themselves up to eighty centimeters, and between the plants from twenty to thirty centimeters. In this case, up to ten plants are placed on one square meter.

The planting density depends on the Victoria variety and growing conditions.

Before planting seedlings, you should dig grooves or holes up to ten centimeters deep and water them well. Then plant seedlings in them and water it again well.

It is best to land in cloudy weather or in the evening. This improves the survival rate.

In order to properly care for young Victoria seedlings, you should not forget her in time to water... Watering should be especially regular during the first two weeks. If the weather is dry, then watering should be daily, and only then once every two or three days.

The berries must be picked regularly, along with the stalk.
After harvesting Victoria, until the tenth of August, the bushes should be fed with wood ash and nitrophosphate.
Cover the beds with foil during heavy rains so that diseases do not develop and the berries do not become watery.
In a timely manner, the antennae should be removed from the fruiting Victoria in order to prevent rooting of the rosettes. The antennae are left only if seedlings are needed to resume planting. Leave them near the uterine rosettes.
After harvesting, the soil is loosened, and if the roots are bare, then the bush is spud.

Protection from pests and diseases

An important role in the care of Victoria is its protection from diseases and pests. The most common pests of Victoria are strawberry mites and nematodes. And from diseases: gray rot of berries, powdery mildew and white spot of berries. But how to take care of Victoria to prevent this from happening? To prevent such diseases and pests, you should:

Any gardener will sooner or later want to plant strawberries on his plot. But how to care for Victoria in order to get a good harvest?

This question worries many gardeners who first planted this berry crop on their site. Is it difficult to care for this plant? At first glance, it may seem that yes. However, if you consider some basic recommendations for caring for Victoria, it turns out that this activity is not so difficult. Of course, it can be difficult at first, but with a little practice and you will become a guru in growing strawberries. And in this article you will receive comprehensive answers to important questions about the agricultural technology of this berry crop.

How to plant Victoria

So, let's look at the first question - how to plant Victoria? The answer to it is important, since it is the planting of strawberries that affects the quality of the future harvest.

To understand how to plant strawberries, you must first briefly consider the structure of its bushes. Take a look at the photo attached below. As you can see, there is a main, uterine bush. It is thanks to him that the multiplication of berry culture is possible. A mustache extends from the main strawberry bush. Rosettes appear on these processes - future fruiting bushes. Over time, this rosette will also develop into a mother bush.

Important! For reproduction, choose those shoots on which no more than three outlets are located. This will ensure the stable growth of each bush, which will affect the quality of the fruit.

As soon as the rosette begins to form, immediately stick its roots gently into the soil. This will provide the plant with constant nutrition with important vital elements. After a while, when the bushes are formed, they can be planted. It is worth noting that each mother bush can produce up to 15 good rosettes. This means that you do not have to constantly buy seedlings, and you will always have your own.

Memo. You need to plant Victoria in the middle of summer (in July). Many gardeners are advised to choose the evening time of day for this: in this case, the plant will undergo night acclimatization.

What bushes can be planted in the ground? Do all sockets fit? No, you need to plant only those seedlings that have a root system, there are several leaves and a heart is developed. Therefore, if you buy outlets, then pay attention to all these factors, so that later you do not get upset because your plant did not take over. In the same case, when you have your own uterine bush, then, before carefully tearing off the outlet from the mustache, make sure that it matches this description. Before planting the plant, gently straighten its roots.

Of no small importance is the place chosen for Victoria's landing. Berry culture develops well on sandy loam, slightly acidic and loamy soil. Don't forget to saturate the soil with humus and important nutrients. You cannot plant the plant in clay soil (it will die) and sandy soil is not recommended (the harvest will be small).

Memo! Avoid planting strawberries in garden beds next to peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. Also, do not plant seedlings near trees: their root system will interfere with the development of Victoria. But the neighborhood with corn and sunflower will be very useful - they will protect the berry crop from the winds.

The plant does not like high humidity, low temperatures and cold winds. Such weather conditions adversely affect the productivity of the variety: the harvest will be small, and the fruits themselves become small and sick. But warm and sunny places will contribute to the fact that Victoria will bear fruit abundantly with large and beautiful berries.

How to water Victoria

Strawberries are considered to be moisture-loving plants. So is there any specific advice on how to water the Victoria? It turned out that yes.

In the first month after planting, the plant must be watered in the holes. After 30 days, the bushes are irrigated by filling the beds with water. It turns out that it is from this period that Victoria begins to receive abundant moisture. In this case, many gardeners do not reinvent the wheel, but simply bring the end of the hose to the garden bed and fill it to the top. Yes, you shouldn't be greedy for water. For such generosity, Victoria will present you with her large, tasty fruits. You can find out what to do with this bountiful harvest here.

How often to water Victoria

It is clear that strawberries need abundant watering. But still, how often to water the Victoria so as not to harm the plant?

In spring, strawberries begin to grow rapidly. If she is not given the necessary moisture during this period, then you should not be surprised that the berries ripened small and dry. Watering continues almost until mid-autumn. In the spring and fall seasons, strawberry bushes need to be watered once a week. This should be done in the morning and preferably with warm water. In the summer season, it is necessary to water Victoria at least twice a week, and if the days are hot, then you can do it every other day. In this case, one must not forget to fertilize the plants with liquid subcrustations.

The spring season is the most laborious. It is at this time that strawberries need special care. Therefore, how to care for Victoria in the spring?

You just finished eating frozen strawberries, when spring comes to the yard, and with it it's time for you to go out to your site. Where to begin? First, take a close look at your beds. Remove all frozen plants without regret: they have nothing to occupy space in the beds. Dead leaves must be removed from living bushes.

After carefully examining the bushes and removing the dead, move on to the next step: remove the top layer of earth with which you mulched Victoria last fall. Why is this done? Firstly, various pests live in this layer, which have taken refuge here from the cold weather, and secondly, the root system will begin to receive additional heat from the rays of the sun.

When you have finished all these procedures, it is advisable to feed the strawberries with nitrogen fertilizer. As soon as your bushes delight with new leaves, then immediately "feed" your plants with a mullein solution with the addition of ammonium sulfate. And when May comes, Victoria should receive a portion of the complex mineral fertilizer.

So, all the main work has been done. The gardener is waiting for its fruits. But how to grow a large Victoria, because every gardener wants to get a special trophy?

In fact, a lot depends on the gardener himself, or rather on whether he will help Victoria in her fruiting. What is it about? Again, about fertilization. And it doesn't matter what you are doing - trying to grow cherries from a seed or want to get a large Victoria fruit - correct and timely fertilization will play a key role in these matters.

Make it a rule to fertilize plants not only in spring (as mentioned above), but also before flowering and ripening. In the first case, it is advisable to feed the strawberries with bird droppings. The solution is prepared as follows: one bucket of manure is filled with three buckets of water. The liquid should stand for three to five days. The resulting solution is diluted 1 to 20 and the grooves between the beds are watered with it. And before ripening, Victoria should be fertilized twice: with boric acid and zinc sulfate. Thanks to all these actions, you can expect a bountiful and large-fruited harvest.

In addition to the information in the article, you can listen to tips from one of the gardeners on how best to care for strawberries:

For example, you have already harvested a radish crop, space has become vacant, so you can safely plant strawberries on it, having previously added a small amount of compost. For strawberries, ash is also the necessary fertilizer. But it is better to make it the next year after planting.

Planting strawberries. Usually, strawberry seedlings are planted at a distance of 30-40 cm. There is another interesting and effective planting method that is known to many professional gardeners.

It is as follows: strawberry bushes are planted at a distance of 10-15 cm. While they are small, they have enough space, and they develop well until next year. At the time of ripening of berries, you can easily select sick and weak sockets.

Those bushes on which very few berries have ripened can also be removed. As a result, you only have strong and healthy specimens. Unusual beds - strawberry hedges.

To create a hedge, you need a plastic pipe, a metal pipe, and a metal bar. Metal pipes play the role of racks, brackets are made from a bar, and "beds" of plastic pipes are installed on them.

A container bed is very simple: you need to make windows for planting in a plastic pipe using a drill with a nozzle. The side openings must be closed with plugs that are sold in the store. Soil is poured into the pipe and strawberries are planted.

The advantages of this landing option are many. Firstly, it is unusual and beautiful. Secondly - saving space at the summer cottage. Thirdly, the garden bed can be used as a hedge for a flower bed.

Fourthly, it is very convenient to pick berries, which, moreover, do not deteriorate from contact with the ground. For the winter, such beds must be removed from the brackets and buried in a small trench, sprinkled with leaves or covered with spruce branches.

Strawberries reproduce with whiskers, on which new rosettes grow. Planting material is taken from biennial plants. The sockets can be detached when 1-3 leaves have formed and the mustache is at least 10 cm. It is necessary to make a separate bed with light soil.

For this, peat and sand are added to the soil in the proportion: 1: 2: 1. Rosettes are planted in mid-June in shallow furrows. The distance between the bushes should be 8-10 cm. After about a month, the strawberries are ready to move to a permanent place.

Transplanted together with a lump of earth. If planting is carried out in the fall, then it must be done in early September. You can also grow strawberries from seeds that need to be sown in April in boxes with fertile, loose soil. The soil must be shed with a manganese solution for disinfection. 3 years ago from ELENA POLYAKOVA

As a rule, watering strawberries 9-10 times per season allows you to get a rich harvest. For watering, you can use a garden watering can without a nozzle and gently water directly under the root of the plant.

How to care for Victoria in the fall

After the flowering season, the soil must be mulched with dry moss, straw or wood shavings. This simple procedure will protect the berries from gray mold infection.

Closer to the middle of autumn, it is required to re-mulch using grain waste or peat. The thickness of the mulch layer should be about 5 - 8 cm. When mulching, remember that Victoria leaves should not be covered.

After harvesting, it is necessary to loosen the compacted soil around the plants. If the roots of the plant are exposed, it must be earthed. To maintain good yields, Victoria beds must be weeded regularly.

When weeding, you can use mini hoes and garden rippers.

How to care for Victoria in spring

And before flowering and during the ovary, it is useful to process Victoria with zinc sulfate. Also, in the spring, after harvesting the leaves, you can fertilize the soil.

Victoria landing

Reproduction of Victoria strawberries occurs with the help of a mustache, which grows from the plant by mid-summer. On these whiskers there are nodes from which leaves and roots actually grow.

Two or three rosettes located at the mother plant are considered to be of the highest quality for reproduction. It is better to take a mustache from plants of the 2nd year.

After 4 - 6 leaves appear on the outlet, it must be separated from the mother plant and transplanted to a prepared place. In order not to damage the roots, the rosettes must be dug out together with a clod of earth and planted in prepared and spilled holes. Victoria is planted in spring or autumn.

For a more comfortable planting in the spring, the soil must be prepared in the fall (dig up, burrow). If you decide to plant Victoria in the fall, then you can prepare the site in June. Also, when preparing the site, it will not be superfluous to apply fertilizers. For good growth and development of Victoria, it is necessary to make 1 m2:

20 g ammonium nitrate 25 g superphosphate 6 kg humus

To ensure comfortable access to plants when watering or weeding, it is better to plant Victoria in even rows from small ridges of land 7 - 10 cm high.The distance between rows should be taken about 60 - 70 cm, and between two planted plants - 20 - 30 cm. For more details ideas about planting Victoria, you can watch the video for novice gardeners.

Choosing a site for planting

It is best to plant garden strawberries on a flat area that has a slight relief slope to the west. This feature of the surface of the site will allow the strawberry leaves to receive more sunlight in the afternoon.

It is also desirable that the site be protected from the wind. Victoria feels most comfortable on sandy loam soils with a high humus content. Sooner or later, any gardener will want to plant strawberries on his plot.

Berry culture develops well on sandy loam, slightly acidic and loamy soil. Don't forget to saturate the soil with humus and important nutrients.

You cannot plant the plant in clay soil (it will die) and sandy soil is not recommended (the harvest will be small). Avoid planting strawberries in garden beds next to peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes.

Also, do not plant seedlings near trees: their root system will interfere with the development of Victoria. But the proximity to corn and sunflower will be very useful - they will protect the berry crop from the winds. The plant does not like high humidity, low temperatures and cold winds.

Such weather conditions adversely affect the productivity of the variety: the harvest will be small, and the fruits themselves become small and sick. But warm and sunny places will contribute to the fact that Victoria will bear fruit abundantly with large and beautiful berries.

How to water Victoria

Strawberries are considered to be moisture-loving plants. So is there any specific advice on how to water the Victoria? It turned out that yes. In the first month after planting, the plant needs to be watered in the holes.

After 30 days, the bushes are irrigated by filling the beds with water. It turns out that it is from this period that Victoria begins to receive abundant moisture. In this case, many gardeners do not reinvent the wheel, but simply bring the end of the hose to the garden bed and fill it to the top.

Yes, you shouldn't be greedy for water. For such generosity, Victoria will present you with her large, tasty fruits. You can find out what to do with this bountiful harvest here.

How often to water Victoria

It is clear that strawberries need abundant watering. But still, how often to water Victoria so as not to harm the plant? In spring, strawberries begin to grow intensively.

If she is not given the necessary moisture during this period, then you should not be surprised that the berries ripened small and dry. Watering continues almost until mid-autumn. In the spring and fall seasons, strawberry bushes need to be watered once a week.

This should be done in the morning and preferably with warm water. In the summer season, it is necessary to water Victoria at least twice a week, and if the days are hot, then you can do it every other day. In this case, one must not forget to fertilize the plants with liquid subcrustations.

How to care for Victoria in spring

The spring season is the most laborious. It is at this time that strawberries need special care. Therefore, how to care for Victoria in the spring? You have just finished eating frozen strawberries, as spring comes to the yard, and with it it is time for you to go out to your plot.

Where to begin? First, take a close look at your beds. Remove all frozen plants without regret: they have nothing to occupy space in the beds.

The dead leaves must be removed from the living bushes. After a careful study of the bushes and the removal of the dead, proceed to the next step: remove the top layer of earth with which you mulched Victoria last fall. Why is this done?

Firstly, various pests live in this layer, which have taken refuge here from the cold weather, and secondly, the root system will begin to receive additional heat from the rays of the sun. When you have finished all these procedures, it is advisable to feed the strawberries with nitrogen fertilizer. As soon as your bushes delight with new leaves, then immediately "feed" your plants with a mullein solution with the addition of ammonium sulfate. And when May comes, Victoria should receive a portion of the complex mineral fertilizer.

How to grow a big Victoria

So, all the main work has been done. The gardener is waiting for its fruits. But how to grow a large Victoria, because every gardener wants to get a special trophy? In fact, a lot depends on the gardener himself, or rather on whether he will help Victoria in her fruiting. What is it about?

Again, about fertilization. And no matter what you are doing - trying to grow a cherry from a seed or want to get a large Victoria fruit - correct and timely fertilization in these matters will play a key role. Make it a rule to fertilize plants not only in spring (as mentioned above), but and before flowering and ripening.

In the first case, it is advisable to feed the strawberries with bird droppings. The solution is prepared as follows: one bucket of manure is filled with three buckets of water. The liquid should stand for three to five days.

The resulting solution is diluted 1 to 20 and the grooves between the beds are watered with it. And before ripening, Victoria should be fertilized twice: with boric acid and zinc sulfate. With all these actions, you can expect a bountiful and large-fruited harvest. In addition to the information in the article, you can listen to tips from one of the gardeners on how to best care for strawberries:

Are you here: Home - Garden and vegetable garden - Growing Victoria: three kilograms per bush

Growing Victoria: three kilograms per bush

That is why he does not like to experiment and plants exclusively early varieties. A plot of 12 acres in the village of Krasnoe got her from her parents. There she and her husband Sergei Vladimirovich spend every summer.

During this time, up to 3 kg of berries are harvested from one bush. At the same time, the berries are large in size - the size of a child's cam. - Victoria, or, scientifically speaking, large-fruited garden strawberry is one of my favorite berries, - says Irina Aleksandrovna. - Despite the fact that there is not so much space on the site, I allocated 3 beds for her, so that she would not only have enough fresh food, but also make preparations for the winter.

When and where to plant- I usually plant at the beginning of May. I believe that the earlier it is planted, the better it develops. I plant in the evening so that the strawberries can acclimatize during the night. - It is better to prepare the beds in the fall, and in the spring to start planting immediately.

Strawberries love a sunny, open place. The direction of the beds is desirable from south to north. It is in this arrangement that she makes the most of the solar energy. Try not to plant it under an apple or cherry tree. Soil moisture is another important factor.

If the groundwater is close, then the bed must be raised to 30-35 cm so that the roots do not rot. In dry places, the beds are low - 8-10 cm. Seedlings grown using the Frigo technology are better planted in spring (read more about it on our website).

Grown with tendrils or seeds, if the roots of the plant are strong, can be planted right now so that the plant is ready for the temperature drop in September. The plants planted now need to be fed with microelements for berry crops, for example, "Gumi-omi". You can treat the beds with special chemicals for the prevention of diseases and pests, for example, "Fufanon", "Ordan", "Abiga-Peak".

How to plant- I make the distance between the rows 60 cm, and between the plants in a row - 20 cm. I make the depth of the hole for the entire length of the root. I dip the root of the plant in a solution of mullein or humus with the ground. I add 1 tbsp to the hole. l. "Agrovit-Cora" or a pinch of "Kemira-Universal".

I plant it so that the growing point is at the level of the soil. Shallow or, conversely, deep planting leads to the death of plants or to their poor development.

After planting, I water it with water - 250 ml per plant as the soil dries up. - First of all, we note that the guarantee of a large harvest is high-quality, healthy planting material. In our case, this means a developed root system of at least 15 cm and a small rosette of leaves.

The distance between the plants should be a little more than Irina does: between the rows - 70 cm, and between the plants in a row - 30 cm the garden bed, first get rid of weeds, then align and make holes depending on the size of the root, that is, for its entire length.

Then compost (a couple of scoops), ash (half a matchbox for one hole) and a little earth are placed in this hole. All this mass is mixed, watered and only then the strawberries are planted.

Then they cover it with earth and water it again.Before doing planting in the summer cottage, it is necessary to draw up a plan and observe the crop rotation. That is, alternate certain crops in the beds.

Strawberries can be planted after any predecessors, except for nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, petunias, tobacco). But you cannot plant it next to raspberries, because they have the same pests.

Before the formation of peduncles, it is necessary to water from a watering can, and after their appearance - with a ladle under the root. The maximum yield for strawberries is the first two years, and then the yield declines, the risk that pests will start. You can plant strawberries in the garden where they grew after 2 seasons.

Before that, you can plant garlic or mustard, which will heal the soil. You can also grow strawberries where legumes were planted in the previous season. How to prepare for wintering?

In autumn, when the temperature reaches 2-5C, I cover the bed with Agrotexom (covering material). And in the spring, when the snow melts, I remove it. - Each summer resident has his own way of mulching (covering the soil with a protective layer) strawberries - mown lawn grass, sawdust of deciduous trees, hay.

But one of the means that will save the gardener from unnecessary trouble is "Kostravit-M1" mulch. It protects the soil from overheating, retains moisture longer, rescues pests and inhibits weed growth. Also, mulch will save strawberries from freezing in winter.

The recommended thickness of the mulch layer is 1.5-2 cm in spring, and 3 cm before winter. Which varieties should you choose? This year Irina Aleksandrovna didn't have so many berries, but they were all very large, about 8 cm in length.

The hostess believes that this is the merit of the variety, which has not let her down for the 2nd season already. Despite the size, the taste doesn't get any worse.

The main varieties that Irina Aleksandrovna uses are Gigantella and Festivalnaya. All varieties are divided into 4 groups: early, medium, late ripening and remontant. It all depends on the preference of the summer resident, what kind of strawberries he wants to see on his site. Early varieties ripen at the end of June - these are "Kimberly", "Crown", "Olvia".

The berries are sweet, large, bright red, winter-hardy. The middle ones ripen in early July - "Rusich", "Black Swong", "Vima-Zanta", "Zenga-Zengana". Berries from 20 g, sweet and sour taste, average winter hardiness. Late - in mid-July - "Vima Tarda", "Vikoda", "Charlotte".

Berries of medium size, sweet and sour taste, good winter hardiness. Repairing strawberry garden. She gives berries a little, but all summer. Also, their peculiarity is that the berries are larger and sweeter than those of ordinary varieties.

Blooms from May to October: Vima-Rina, Geneva, Moscow Delicacy, Brighton, Queen Elizabeth II. How to reproduce? Irina Aleksandrovna propagates strawberries with a mustache.

Just now, I transplanted it to the garden where the onion grew. - This method has many disadvantages, although it is easy to use. After 3 generations, the berry begins to lose its properties.

They become smaller, the taste deteriorates, the yield declines, and the susceptibility to diseases increases. The next disadvantage is the transfer of diseases from garden to garden.

Strawberries, on which gardeners leave a mustache, spend their energy not on laying fruit buds, but on feeding their young shoots. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to update the planting material, that is, to take seedlings of the first reproduction. They give the maximum yield.

Seedlings of this class can be found today. Sellers must have certificates of variety confirming this. There is another modern method - the new frigo technology (translated as "cold").

Throughout the summer, farmers grow strawberries in the open field in nurseries. During this time, she is not allowed to give the crop, the mustache is removed. Then the strawberries are dug up, the leaves are cut off, and the seedlings are stored in the refrigerator.

And in this state, it is stored until the moment when it needs to be planted. To us, in Udmurtia, frozen roots are brought from a Dutch nursery in the spring. After planting it, gardeners receive a guaranteed harvest in two months.

You can make an application for the purchase of seedlings of 1 reproduction using frigo technology by calling the Agricultural Academy 55-02-07, (the average price is 25-35 rubles per seedling). How to care? Irina Aleksandrovna makes liquid fertilizing for strawberries twice a season.

The first time is in May, before flowering, and the second time in early July, after harvest. - For liquid feeding of strawberries, I use fresh chicken manure. A few hours before feeding the beds I water well.

Then, in 10 liters of water, I thoroughly stir a portion of fresh chicken manure at the rate of 1:10 and water it evenly from a watering can. After harvesting, I remove all weeds, loosen the soil around all the bushes and cover with a small layer of cow dung to fertilize the soil.

I do not use any chemicals. - Experts advise feeding strawberries in spring with nitrogen fertilizers in accordance with the instructions on the package (for example, ROS 16-16-16, 10 grams per square meter). But don't overdo it.

It is also recommended to regularly introduce a complex of trace elements for berry crops, for example, "Gumi-omi". After harvesting, it can be treated with special chemicals for the prevention of diseases and pests, for example "Fufanon", "Ordan", "Abiga Peak".

How to get rid of pests Irina Aleksandrovna is sure that the pests do not touch Victoria, because she transplants it to a new place every three years. The main pests of strawberries are the larvae of the May beetle (beetle). When digging the beds, you need to remove the larvae by hand.

Another method of struggle is to cover the beds when beetles fly in May with covering material, film or roofing material. Another enemies of strawberries - nematodes - are small worms. It is very difficult to deal with them. The main way is to maintain a crop rotation.

Eliminate the garden bed after 3-4 years of fruiting and burn off plant residues. You can get rid of them with a folk remedy - pour a decoction of marigolds or plant marigolds in a future garden bed for several months.

Before planting, when preparing the beds, you can plant it, for example, with mustard, it heals the soil. After a month, you can dig everything up and plant strawberry seedlings.
