My disappointment remontant strawberries. Why I threw out all the bushes

Hello! Remontant raspberries and strawberries - fangled plants in our gardens. It's simple: the sellers, we promise to benefit a bumper crop throughout the summer and taste; but the result is often something goes wrong. Tell us about your negative experience planting strawberry remontant grade "Russian size".

To the credit of the notorious "Russian size" must be said that the fruition really last long: in July and August with the capture of the first days of September. For Novgorod region, where I was living, a stunning result. But even this did not stop me to throw out all of strawberry bushes without a twinge of conscience and forget as a bad dream.

1. Care is not less than tomatoes. Remontant strawberries "sharpened" under a long period of fruit formation. Therefore, for the successful fruiting they need super-fertile land and the lion's share of fertilizing with potassium and phosphorus. Otherwise, the berries are shrinking and become watery taste.

2. Bushes age 2-3 years, after which they should be changed for new ones. Miracle plant is rapidly squandering its resources and slowly begins to die, giving handouts in the form of a few berries. We have to mess with the mustache by growing them again at the expense of flowering and fruiting.

3. When the rainy summer berries again become shallow and tasteless. I think you need to grow remontant strawberries still in warmer regions than central Russia and the more northern regions.

Yes, I even forgot to mention about the need for regular watering, mulching, cover for the winter, and other delights. If you have lots of free time and you are ready to fulfill all the requirements remontant beautiful - you will get a good result. But personally, I'm now passing.
