Strawberry "Yellow Miracle"
It is very unusual to see the strawberry plantations of yellow color.
Nevertheless, there are more and more of them. It's not about the color - the yellow berries have an incomparable taste and aroma!
I decided to write about the strawberry Yellow Miracle. Seeds for several years I sent the company. I once noticed a yellow miracle in the catalog for a patchworkless beardless strawberry. I used to hear about it, but I did not cultivate this variety.
Her berries are yellow. I was very interested in this, especially since it gives me great pleasure to grow something from small seeds, for example flowers (petunia, salvia, perennial poppy, etc.). In general, I ordered, and by the New Year I already had seeds. I started sowing in mid-March. Write that the seeds of strawberries must be stratified (this means sowing in moist sand and put in the fridge for two months). But I decided in my own way: I will sow immediately to the ground, and come what may.
I took a container from under the biscuit - it is plastic, transparent (and most importantly, with a lid - do not need to be covered with glass or film), 6 cm high. I have forest land (I store in the fall), plus 3: 1 universal soil purchased (a little ash). Poured not to the top, left 2,5 cm, so that there was more air - a mini-greenhouse turned out. A day before sowing, it spilled the ground with hot water with the addition of potassium permanganate (weak solution).
Seeds laid out with tweezers at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Then she sprinkled a little bit of sand (the seeds of strawberries sprout in the light, they can not be heavily covered).
After sowing, the soil was not watered, as it was moist and crumbly, covered with a lid from the container and set it on a table by the window. There is a small distance between the window and the table, heat is coming from the battery, and light is coming from the window.
Almost every day I looked in, opened the lid for a minute on 2-3, so that the land with seeds would breathe, and the napkin would remove the condensate from the lid, unnecessary moisture in the boy would not be needed. But if the earth dries a little, I sprinkled it from the spray gun.
I had no words for joy when I saw the shoots, it happened on 21 day. Shoots were friendly, almost all ascended. Interestingly, immediately there were real small carved leaves, but so weak that it was necessary to water from a bottle with a nozzle, so that the water (warm) did not flow, but dripped, and only between the sprouts.
Despite the fact that the Yellow Miracle is widely used in Europe as a decorative culture (in England this variety is planted with lawns), light berries after maturation, of course, go to food. From the usual wild strawberry yellow differs in color and size of the fruit. Reaching full ripeness, berries firmly hold on the peduncles. They have a sweet "pineapple" taste. Strawberries of this variety are undemanding to soil and watering.
When the third leaf appeared, I dug strawberries at a distance of 3 × 4 cm into a wooden box already 4 cm high, and pinched the roots - they were very large. While the seedlings were at home, I only once fed microfertilizers.
In the open ground landed in early June. The place chose the sunny, in the land of the addition

Vila a little humus and fertilizer. This I did a week before the landing, so that the earth is a bit thickened. Bushes planted in a row at a distance of 20 cm from each other. After planting, she poured a humate and covered with humus so that moisture did not evaporate immediately after watering. At first, the sun shone from the sun, and
when I saw that the bushes had taken root, she took off the shelter. They have got accustomed all.
I am engaged in the cultivation of large-fruited strawberries (garden strawberries), and therefore I did not always look at the newly planted strawberries, sometimes even forgot to water it. But time passed, my strawberries bloomed, and then the berries appeared. Yellow, larger than the forest, the taste is extraordinary - no words, present Yellow miracle (photo). I had to immediately pour under the bushes of sawdust: under the weight of ripening berries they lay down on the ground, and the berry became dirty, especially after the rain.
When I planted strawberries, the bushes were small, weak, and it seemed to me that it would not bloom this year and there would be no berries. And it blossomed, the berries were the sea (although the row is still small) until the frosts. The bushes became strong, powerful, the next year it will be possible to divide and seat more.
That's just how she will live, I do not know. We have no snow in Mordovia at all, frosts are strong, the earth is bare, the leaves of the strawberry are visible, and there is nothing to fall asleep. I never insulate it for the winter. Let's see what will happen this year.
Dear gardeners! Do not be lazy, put in your dacha Yellow miracle, you will not regret it, I was convinced.

We are used to the fact that the berries of garden strawberries are red, rarely pink. But there are still rare varieties of this plant, in which the fruits are yellow. Such is the Yellow Wonder variety, this strawberry does not have a mustache, has high winter hardiness and can produce several crops per season.
The plant abundantly bears fruit until the frost. With regular watering and top dressing, this variety gives up to a thousand delicious berries with a honey tint from the bush per season. The yellow miracle grows well in the garden on the beds, as well as on window sills, balconies and loggias. In taste and aroma, the fruits of this strawberry are in no way inferior to varieties with red berries. And the jam from the "yellow-bellows" resembles linden honey.
This strawberry is propagated by seeds, as well as by dividing the bush. Sowing is carried out at any time of the year. Seeds are scattered on the surface of the earth without deepening. To grow seedlings, loose nutritious soil from soddy soil, humus, peat and sand (2: 4: 1: 1) is needed. After pouring the mixture into pots, I scald it with boiling water with the addition of a small amount of potassium permanganate, and when it cools down, I sow the seeds and cover with a film. Shoots appear after 30 days. When the sprouts appear, the film must be removed. In August, I plant seedlings in August according to the scheme of 30 × 50 cm.

STRAWBERRY IN BOCHKA
To grow strawberries in a barrel you will need the barrel itself, and it can be quite old, without bottoms and holes, seedlings of strawberries and a little dexterity. We will cultivate strawberries by the method of vertical beds.
To begin with, we mark on the barrel the areas where our plants "settle", and then we make cells 5 × 5 cm in size so that the earth does not spill out and the strawberries feel freer. It is best to place the cells in a checkerboard pattern: this way strawberry bushes will receive more heat and light, which will affect the result of the future harvest.
After the cells have been cut, the metal edges are gently bent inwards, which will allow the plants to gently move upwards. Next, we need to build a vertical drainage in the barrel, which will ensure a sufficient supply of moisture to all the bushes. To this end, we can take a normal sewer pipe and make a lot of holes in it, then install it in the center of the barrel, but the gmbo fill the central part of the container with gravel.
As a primer, it is better to use a mixture of sand and turf ground, taken in the ratio 1: 2, with the addition of wood ash and "organic" with mineral additives (according to the norms for strawberries). After that, we fill the space in the barrel between the walls and the watering device, we compact it well and start the actual planting of the seedlings.
