An arrow is a shoot with seeds. If you do not get rid of it in time, the plant will start to give energy to the formation of the arrow, not the head. As a result, the fruits will be small.
Therefore, summer residents recommend removing the arrows.
This needs to be done while it is still soft and can be easily straightened by hand, but at the same time the arrow itself has already formed.
It is better to carry out the procedure in the morning and in dry weather.
In this case, the cut will dry well and will not become a “gateway” for diseases.
But how to trim the arrow correctly?
As seasoned gardeners note, it should be cut a centimeter from the base. The cut should be perpendicular to the ground.
There is no need to get rid of the arrows.
Once they have been cut, they can be used as additional components in snacks and salads. This will give the treats a brighter taste and aroma.
