IS IT POSSIBLE TO GROW SCERAMS IN A GARDEN?

Chenzeli, levurda, bear onion, flask (with emphasis on the last syllable) and halba - so in different regions they call wild garlic, wild garlic... From the point of view of botanists, the name of wild garlic unites two closely related species - bear onion and victory onion, and both can be grown on a personal plot.

WHAT IS USEFUL WITH RURALS?

This is a real vitamin bomb, a storehouse of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, PP, folic acid, niacin, iodine, fluorine, calcium, selenium and zinc. Regular use of wild garlic in food improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, strengthens the immune system, cleanses the skin from rashes, speeds up metabolism and even has bactericidal properties. To the taste, the leaves and stalks resemble garlic, only of a more delicate texture.

Bear onions grow in the forests of the Caucasus, in the mountains of Siberia, in the Scandinavian countries, and the victory onion is common in the Far East, Sakhalin and Kamchatka. Outwardly, these species are very similar: wide, like a lily of the valley, leaves folded along a central vein appear on the surface of the earth in early spring, when other plants have not yet woken up after winter. This is the very first vitamin green! The wild garlic also has a bulb, but it is mild. It is from it in June-July that an arrow-stem with a spherical inflorescence grows.

The wild garlic is harvested in April and May, until the plant begins to form a flower arrow. But it is better to think about sowing or planting plants now. Ramsons are grown in much the same way as onions, chives and slugs. It is necessary to select for the plantation a fertile site with soil of neutral acidity, located in partial shade from trees and shrubs. In the wild, wild garlic grows and forms seeds under the forest canopy. But on an open landing site, you will have to shade with shields or a fence, otherwise they will die.

Ramson is a great crop for "useless" corners of your site. She will be comfortable on the north side of a fence, greenhouse or other structure, in a damp lowland or next to a watering tap. She is also comfortable under the canopy of trees and shrubs, and the annual leaf litter will cover the plants for the winter. And you don't even need to mulch the plantation with humus every autumn, because the bulbs rise slightly above the soil level and rise a little higher every year.

The easiest way to propagate wild garlic is by dividing the bush. The best time for a transplant is the end of August - September. To do this, on a cloudy day, part of the onions (necessarily with roots, they contain most of the nutrients accumulated by the plant) are separated from the curtain and planted in rows at a distance of 20-35 cm from each other with row spacing of 30-45 cm.

When it is not possible to get planting material, wild garlic is grown from seeds. They can be sown immediately after harvest, but even so, their germination rate is about 20-30%. They can be stored in a paper bag in the refrigerator until spring sowing.

In the spring, before sowing, the seeds are necessarily stratified: they are placed in wet sand and placed in a refrigerator for 60-90 days.

Sowing under winter passes this stage in natural conditions. The seeds are not buried in the soil, but mulched with a small layer of earth.

IMPORTANT. So that the seedlings of wild garlic do not crush the weeds, the seeds should be sown in several pieces in seedling boxes with a perforated bottom and dropped in the garden. Plants of the first year of life overwinter in the same containers, and they are planted in a permanent place only in the second year.

For the first two years, the leaves are not cut, allowing the plants to grow stronger, but only watered, gently loosened the soil and fed: in the spring - with nitrogen fertilizers, and in September - with complex fertilizers. A three-year plantation will allow you to feast on vitamin greens. But the leaves, of course, must be cut off selectively.

Since wild garlic is an ephemeroid, in July, after the seeds ripen, the entire aerial part of the plant dies off, and only a “stump” remains on the surface, covering two small young bulbs, gradually replacing the old one. This time is the most dangerous for wild garlic, it can easily be crushed by weeds, for example, nettles, wheatgrass or willow.

Autumn care for wild garlic planting consists in mulching the plants with peat, leaf litter or old stems of perennial plants - for better wintering.

VARIETY VARIETIES

As for the varieties, three varieties are entered into the State Register of Breeding Achievements: Bear delicacy, Bear cub and Bear ear.

The height of the wild garlic bush, Bear delicacy, reaches 30 cm. The length of the leaf is up to 25 cm, from regrowth to the first collection of leaves 20 days. Productivity up to 2, 2 kg / sq. m.

Ramson Bear cub grows larger. This is an early ripe variety with a vertical rosette of leaves 15 cm in diameter and peduncles up to 60 cm high. The leaf is large, 20-30 cm high, dark green with a weak waxy bloom. The first collection of leaves is carried out 15 days after the start of regrowth. At the last collection, young flower arrows are removed (no later than the seeds reach milky-wax ripeness). The yield of green mass is 1, 6 kg / sq. m.

Approximately on the 17th day from regrowth to the first collection of leaves, it takes place in the Bear Ear variety. The height of the bush is up to 40 cm, the leaf is up to 30 cm long. The yield of the plantation is up to 2 kg / sq. m.

PREPARING RUMPS - USEFUL RECIPES

Wild garlic is a seasonal product, it is harvested, but the cutting period is short. How can you save it?

PESTO FROM CHEREMS

The principle of preparation of this pesto is the same as that of the classic basil. But, of course, you don't need to add garlic. I take 500 g of wild garlic leaves, 50 g of peeled pine nuts, as well as 50 g of grated Parmesan and 150 ml of olive oil. I add salt and pepper to taste.

Grind the nuts in a blender, add Parmesan, finely chopped wild garlic leaves, pepper, add olive oil and grind everything together in a blender for a couple of minutes until the mixture resembles mashed potatoes. The pesto is ready! I put it in jars, pour it on top with olive oil. If necessary, open the jar and take away part of the sauce. And again fill the surface with oil. In this mode, the sauce can be stored for up to 3 months (in the refrigerator, of course). It's a great seasoning for spaghetti and fish, and I also use it for snack toast. Fast, tasty and very healthy!

THEREAL OIL

After grinding the leaves in a blender, I mix them with room temperature butter. Divided in portions into molds, I freeze. But we do not have enough of this vitamin delicacy for a year - it is tasty, we eat it quickly.

VEGETABLE SALT

In a blender, I grind the stems and leaves, cover them with coarse salt, stir and dry in the oven at 50 °. When it dries, I grind the mixture in a coffee grinder and store in a tight-fitting jar. I use it in salads, soups, and anywhere.

After a long winter, we all want to pamper ourselves with healthy vitamin greens, and wild garlic is one of the first plants that can support our body. Already in the second half of April, you can enjoy the young leaves of this plant, adding them to salads, soups, pie fillings.

Usually we bought a bunch of wild garlic in the market, later we found out the places of the surrounding forest where it grows, and we began to collect it ourselves. But there was one circumstance that slightly overshadowed our campaigns for the first greenery - the presence of ticks. The desire to eat wild garlic more often, without coming into contact with dangerous insects, led to the idea of transplanting the plant to one's own plot. So wild garlic moved to us.
A place was chosen for her in a flower garden under a small tree. Our new plant liked the loose soil and partial shade, it took root and gradually occupied a whole clearing. And in another area - with clay soil - the wild garlic did not like it, it grew stunted and then completely disappeared.

So, taking into account all the preferences of forest plants, it is quite possible to create a corner of wildlife in the country with beautiful, tasty and healthy inhabitants.

I want to share my experience in growing wild garlic. A neighbor in the country gave me several sprouts in the spring, which I immediately planted. These sprouts were with flower stalks, and the secret of growing this culture lies in their correct preservation. In wild garlic, when the seeds are tied, green "bubbles" are formed on the peduncles, which then begin to turn yellow.

And here it is important not to miss this moment: you need to cover the flower stalks with the seeds with gauze folded in one layer. When ripe, wild garlic seeds “shoot out” and scatter quite far. And if the plants are covered, then the seed is simply showered in heaps. I preliminarily loosen the soil, so the fallen seeds do not remain on the surface, especially since they are also nailed to the ground by the rains. Seedlings then - the sea! I take off the gauze when I see that the seed pods are empty.

The ramson was brought by the wind
About three years ago, I noticed a useful plant in my raspberry - wild garlic. Just a few bushes. But I was glad of such an unexpected acquisition. After all, wild garlic is very useful (its fresh leaves are added to salads in spring). I immediately fenced it off with pegs so as not to accidentally trample it when picking berries. And in the fall, when the bushes have grown, I decided to transplant them to a new place. I took a garden bed in partial shade near the fence for wild garlic (where conditions are more similar to the natural habitat of the plant).

I brought in a bucket of compost and a half-liter can of dolomite flour per 1 sq. M. For digging. Transplanted bushes at a distance of 20 cm from each other and mulched with needles and sawdust. In the spring, when young leaves appeared, I renewed the mulch.
And the next year wild garlic grew so that the plants were shared with a neighbor. She was very pleased!
