Happens so that fennel has quite not bad ascended and began to grow up as flower sockets suddenly appear. With chagrin it becomes clear that magnificent greens will not be any more. What has occurred and how not to allow early strelkovaniye?
Fennel - one-year green culture. And it is natural, plants for summer season have to blossom and give posterity - seeds. But at gardeners paramount task is to grow up fluffy green vitamin fennel, and then when time of salting and conservation approaches, also umbrellas will be necessary.
The most fruitful greens will be from crops of fennel in the earliest terms. Fennel belongs to cold-resistant plants - it is known by all. What stands behind this fact? In the spring in the soil moisture suffices, the daylight hours long and is a lot of sun. Such conditions are also necessary to dill plants. We should help them only a little. But often gardeners make the following mistakes.
Thickness of crops
Fennel does not love ""collective"". He prefers to grow in proud loneliness and not to share the territory with dill relatives. Therefore it is so necessary to carry out thinning at dense crops to provide the area of power supply and lighting. It will be more correct to sow seeds in wide grooves or randomly on beds. In narrow rows the shoots press each other, as causes early strelkovaniye. Plants, without having managed to grow up, seek to give posterity - seeds.
Watering
Good greens on the dry soil will not grow. The earth should be watered in dry weather. Plants, without having received water in time, get stress and strelkutsya.
Quality of the soil
The quality of dill products directly depends on the power supply received from the soil. If the earth dense clay and besides not rykhlenny around the growing fennel, then plant strelkovatsya. Fennel loves nutritious, organic, friable, structural, not sour soils. Raskisleniye during crops (lime, ashes) does not transfer fennel.
What to do if fennel has begun to throw out umbrellas?
Under unsuccessful conditions of growth, irrespective of the seeded grade, fennel is inclined to tsvetushnost. It is possible to suspend process of strelkovaniye only for a while. For this purpose it is necessary just to pinch off the moving-forward young umbrellas.
