Sometimes the weather presents the most unpleasant surprises, from which summer residents suffer especially badly, or more precisely, their harvest.
If heavy, almost tropical rains flood the garden, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises not to leave vegetables to rot in the beds.
To save the crops, you should remove the rotten ovaries and lift the fruits from the wet soil - this is the only possible solution in such a situation.
For this purpose, you can use almost anything that is at hand.
Boards, plastic, plywood, non-woven covering material – all of this can be placed under the harvest.
Fruits on branches, for example strawberries, can be raised on metal pins.
They, like special plastic supports, can be found in stores with goods for gardeners and vegetable growers.
Please note: if you go shopping in season, you may not always be able to find the necessary equipment, and the purchases will cost you a pretty penny. Therefore, stock up on everything you need in the fall or winter to prepare for the new season in time, and in the meantime, use everything you can find on the farm.
