When and how to plant strawberries so that they bring a rich harvest is a question that novice gardeners often ask themselves. The berries can be planted in the ground in spring, summer and autumn. Each season has its own characteristics of planting.
Strawberries are the most beloved and popular berry in our gardens. Even in the smallest plots, there will always be a place for it, since every year there are more and more unexpected and original solutions for its cultivation. Strawberries are grown in the form of a carpet, rows, nests, in addition to many different original options. Everyone chooses their own way depending on the area of ​​the site and its design.
Watering strawberries, like any other garden crop, should be in compliance with all the necessary recommendations. During the fruiting period, including the ripening of the fruits, the amount of moisture should be sufficient for the harvest to be a decent amount, and the berries are tasty and aromatic. If you neglect watering, or water little and not enough, then the strawberries can dry out. With excessive moisture, the berries can rot.
Speaking of pruning strawberries, most often it is the removal of leaves on fertile bushes that is meant. This is done to partially rejuvenate the plant, to get rid of damaged, diseased leaves, to prevent bacterial and fungal infections, to reduce the number of harmful insects.

Site selection and soil preparation

Landing is carried out when the temperature is not lower than +12 degrees.Planting in spring will enable the bush to adapt better and get a harvest in the fall. When preparing for planting, observe the following rules:

  • choose a sunny place not shaded by trees and other objects;

  • before planting, loosen the soil well, eliminate weeds, and apply organic fertilizing;

  • wait until the treated soil settles, and only then plant the plant, leaving the heart at the soil level.

In addition, gardeners recommend planting Asparagus in areas where legumes, crops or marigolds used to grow. It is undesirable to choose a ridge for planting after potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes.

The soil for strawberries should be saturated with organic matter. The plant grows best on light loamy or sandy loam soil. Black soil and gray forest soil are also excellent for cultivation. It is undesirable to plant strawberries on clay soil.

Pollination

The variety is naturally pollinated by insects. When grown in pots, pollination is carried out with a brush.

Top dressing

Nitrogen is usually used as the first top dressing. The culture responds well to rotted manure or mullein. Potash dressings are used before flowering. So, potassium bicarbonate will provide a good fruit ovary and improve the frost resistance of the bush.

In summer, foliar complex fertilizers are relevant. In the fall, it is worth abandoning nitrogen supplements and giving preference to ash or superphosphates.

One of the important techniques in strawberry care is feeding. Regular fertilization guarantees a rich harvest. There are several different ways to feed strawberries, and each of them is designed for a specific period of plant development. During flowering, fruiting and after it, feeding should be different.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

Asparagus is a winter-hardy variety, but it is still worth protecting the plant in winter. Usually straw, used as mulch, is enough, but it is important to do this at the optimal time: early mulching will lead to damping of the roots, later to their freezing. If grown in the south, this step can be bypassed. When kept in pots, containers are brought into the basement or shed for the winter.

In order for strawberries to delight us with an abundance of large and sweet berries next year, they need to be properly prepared for winter. The set of measures for preparing strawberries for the cold includes: pruning, watering, feeding, loosening, pest control, mulching and shelter.

Diseases and pests

One of the main "strawberry" enemies - powdery mildew, as a rule, is not interested in the Asparagus variety. However, the plant can attract roundworms, spider mites, and aphids. In order to avoid damage to the bush by these pests, it is recommended to soak the seedling in a solution of potassium permanganate before planting. Another simple preventive measure against parasites is planting dill next door.

Strawberries are often subject to many dangerous diseases that can seriously undermine their condition. Among the most common are powdery mildew, gray mold, brown spot, anthracnose, and verticillosis. Before buying a variety, you need to inquire about its disease resistance.

Reproduction

The variety is bred with a mustache or by dividing a bush. In the first case, the shoots are carefully placed between the rows, rooted in containers with a nutrient substrate, sockets of the first and second order, and the rest of the whiskers are eliminated.

To propagate the culture by dividing, select strong three-year-old bushes and divide them into 2-3 parts so that a branched root system remains on each lobe. Do not use old specimens with lignified roots for division.

Strawberries or garden strawberries multiply very easily. The most common way to obtain planting material is to grow young plants from vegetative shoots - whiskers. Seedlings are also obtained by dividing the bush.
