Most of people love strawberry for its dushistost and sweet. However not each gardener who is especially beginning manages to grow up tasty berries, behind culture the special care is necessary.
The large bright red strawberry having sweet taste is the true pride of the gardener. Not each summer resident as only at observance of certain rules (and there is a lot of them) the fruits of this culture are well poured manages to grow up such berries and have the necessary sweet. Though in certain cases even at due leaving strawberry can were turned sour, and fault to they are adverse weather conditions. So, strawberry of unsweetened can be because of:
- otstutstviye of the sun;
- frequent watering or rains;
- bush old age;
Shortage is warm and the sun always affects berries. Strawberry - photophilous culture therefore it is necessary to create strawberry beds only on solar places. In areas with cool climate it is better to grow up culture in special hotbeds or greenhouses, it is whenever possible possible to establish in them lamps, then the taste of harvest will definitely not upset.
Overwetting of the soil has also negative effect on tastes of strawberry. For example, in the period of rains many minerals are washed away from the surface of the soil in its deeper layers and as strawberry has rather short backs, to get power supply by it becomes quite problematic. Everything that it is necessary to plant - to absorb water with the minimum quantity of elements because of what fruits and become tasteless - fresh and watery. From the aforesaid it is possible to draw conclusion: it is necessary to water strawberry during fructification infrequently - every three days. In the period of rains the only rescue to catch tasty harvest - to make deep furrows around strawberry beds and to build drainage systems.
In many respects the taste of berries is affected by age of bushes. It is worth remembering that old bushes which are more than five years old absorb nutrients from the soil worse. Way out - each three-five years to destroy old plants and to plant very young bushes on new beds.
Now as for grade. There are strawberry grades which even at competent leaving have sour taste, to them belong ""Marvellous"", ""Dawn"", Mount Everest and other. Therefore if you want to enjoy sweet berries, then surely take this point into consideration.
