Even after heavy rain is always clean berry dries quickly and does not rot. The last commodity crop Class “Elizabeth II I’m shooting in mid-September and to allow time to collect bush force before hibernation pluck all the flower stalks appear. While in the past 2008 some berries and matured in mid-October, but it is under Fleece shelter and more in order to please her granddaughter. With this method of care in the winter variety ‘Elizabeth II proved to be capricious and not no big deal. Rob Crossland contributes greatly to this topic. In late October, I only fill up at the ridge fresh mulch to the bushes were, as if drowned in it, and the winter slipped by the possibility of snow on the ridge. Drop the bushes after hibernation was not even once.
In the spring of well-preserved leaves overwintered on the bushes immediately begins work for the next harvest early. Since the bushes of this variety of winter already pledged last fall that the first buds begin to ripen fruit at a time when traditional varieties only bloom of strawberries. Of course, in the spring to necessarily put on the strawberries and cover an arc of landing on the vagaries of weather film or nonwoven material.

At high above the foliage, peduncles bush strewn with large 15-20 g, sweet berries, even in poluzelenom state. That’s because having a few varieties of strawberries, including remontant can provide for his family berries from spring until frost. Alexey Gusev Ivanovich, tel 8.905.
