    All my relatives adore gooseberries, but they always sent me to collect it, because nobody wanted to stab their hands with sharp thorns. Once I got sick of it, and I decided to get varieties without thorns.

    There were quite a few of them.
    Here, for example, a variety of naughty. It has large greenish-yellow fruits that taste sweet and sour. The variety winters well and is not afraid of a disease typical of gooseberries - powdery mildew. Grade Yubilyar can also be called bearingless. In fact, he has spikes, but not many, and they are very small. The fruits of the Jubilee are of medium size and large, red in color, taste sweet-sour. The variety easily tolerates frosts, but is occasionally affected by fungi.
    A significant part of the site is now occupied by the Commander, a red-fruited variety that is not afraid of frost or powdery mildew.

    Since childhood I love gooseberry. Now on the site 2 varieties - Ravol and Coral. I plant plants in the middle of September (seedlings only get in specialized nurseries). For a couple of weeks I prepare pits with a diameter and depth of 0,5 m. I fill up: the fertile layer of the earth (2 / 3 from the pit) is mixed with manure bucket (can compost) and 200-250 d complex mineral fertilizer. The remaining fertile layer (1 / 3 part) is poured on top of the mound. By the time of landing, the mixture in the pit will settle. The root neck is buried at 5 cm, I compact the soil well, water, mulch with humus. That the plant developed better, I cut off shoots - I leave 5-7 above the ground.

    Gooseberries are protected from enemies by their sharp spines. But he does not spare his friends, especially when he is harvesting. And meanwhile there is a way to tame this "hedgehog".
    Make his thorns not sharp, which means that the fire helps to protect them. In autumn, bushes on which there are no leaves or they are about to fall, you need to sing. To do this, you can use a torch from a folded newspaper or a wooden stick taken from a fire. The flames must be carried quickly enough along the branches, without stopping, so as not to accidentally set fire to the bush itself. This "fallen" is enough to burn the ends of the spikes, as a result, they stop pricking.
    At the same time, spores of powdery mildew and other dangerous
    fungi that cause diseases of gooseberry. Favorably reflected this procedure and the wintering of gooseberries, which generally increases immunity.
    I think that the effect of fire applies to other plants that have sharp thorns - roses, rose hips, barberries, and hawthorn. It is only necessary to choose the safest time for each of these plants — it is important that it already “falls asleep” in preparation for winter.

    Rosehip - a completely unpretentious plant. The main thing is not to forget to water it in a dry summer and cut dry twigs that have outlived their spring in the spring. I prefer to plant Russian rosehip varieties with beautiful flowers and large berries. At the same time, the plants do not occupy a place in the garden, but serve as a wonderful hedge between my and neighboring sites. I noticed that a neighbor quietly for her part collects rose hips at the end of summer, but I do not mind, because the plants produce a lot of fruits.
    Cultivating varieties: Vorontsovsky 1. Large-fruited VNVI, Crimson and the Globe. All of them have large fruits. I do not like trifles, although they say it's easier to dry, but it's more pleasant for me to collect large ones. In this case, all varieties are frost-resistant. For the winter, I do not harbor shrubs, and they suffer frosts without loss. The most important thing is that the fruit of the dog rose the vitamin C content is incredibly high, so let my neighbor rejoice that I am so prudent. In winter, for a cold, I think my dog-brews!

    RUSSIAN FRIDGE
    The real pride of the Russian selection is the Russian gooseberry.
    It ripens in the second half of June, is famous for its high productivity. The berries of the "real Russian" are delicious, dark red, medium in size. Another big plus of the variety is it is self-fertile, and also an excellent pollinator for other varieties. In fairness, I’ll say that in my garden there is also the Russian Yellow variety, which is not inferior to it, with berries of the same size, but yellow. Their flesh is tender and juicy.

    Cured gooseberries and currants
    Last year in June, gooseberry and black currant "settled" American powdery mildew. This fungal disease over time causes a sharp decline in yield, and then a complete death of the bush.
    External signs: on the young branches and the inner surface of the leaves there appears a white cobwebby coating, the affected shoots cease to grow, are bent and
    wither. Berries are covered with a touch, crack, dry up. At the first signs of the disease, I filled half a bucket of ash with two buckets of hot water and insisted for two days. Sprayed the bushes. After 10 days treated with another compound: 50 g of soda ash and 30 g of soap dissolved in a bucket of water. And even after 10 days such: 100 g of copper sulfate and 50 g of soap dissolved again in a bucket of water. It helped. A
