Beginning gardeners have heard that in May, strawberry flowers need to be picked, but not everyone can explain why.
Some people think it's a waste of time, while others insist that they end up harvesting buckets of crops.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, explained why it is necessary to pick flowers from strawberries.
It turns out there are two reasons.
Firstly, you don't need to remove all the flowers. This is done only on those bushes from which the gardener intends to get new seedlings.
This is done to breed the variety you like.
After the bud breaks off, the bush directs all its energy to the growth of tendrils.
But you should not collect more than 1-2 new shoots from one bush. It is believed that the strongest and most developed are the first rosettes from the mother bush.
Secondly, there are summer residents who believe that strawberries need such care in the first year of planting.
By removing the primrose, you can increase the survival rate of young plants and reap a rich harvest in the future.
Flowers are also picked if the buds begin to turn black.
