The berries are distinguished by their large size. The taste gives off sweet and sour notes. The pulp of such strawberries is dense, and its juiciness and aroma are also noted.

  • planting - choosing a planting site and preparatory work on the soil;

  • good and competent watering.

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

The soil for Venta strawberries should not be sandy. The best option would be to choose black soil or loamy soil, but with some additional fertilizing. And also it is worth discarding options in low-light or windy areas. Where groundwater flows nearby, it is also better not to plant this variety of strawberries.

It would be most competent to plant plants in the place where dill, cilantro, parsley or marigolds used to grow. At the place of growing potatoes, cucumbers or eggplant, planting Venta is not worth it due to the bad taste of future fruits.

Before planting, it is imperative to carry out the classic work in the form of digging up the soil.

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

One of the features of this strawberry variety is the lack of pollination. The thing is that this plant forms bisexual flowers. From this we can conclude that reproduction at Venta occurs without pollination.

Top dressing

The most important feeding periods are those during which the plant may be severely deficient in minerals. This is mainly the ovary, flowering, harvesting, before the onset of cold weather. For the off-season season, complex fertilizing will be enough, but during the development of fruits it is better to use mineral fertilizers.

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.

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

In general, Venta is considered a plant with a low risk of pest and disease. However, some of them can still harm this plant. For example, garden mites and gray mold are a very common problem in Venta. They hit strawberries the most. The level of resistance to white or brown spot is slightly higher. But this strawberry is almost not affected by powdery mildew.

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.
