Berries

Fragrant garden strawberries, raspberries, cherries and other types of berries are grown in every garden. Each garden crop requires special care conditions, without which plant productivity will be very low. It is worth noting that berries are the first sweet harvest in the garden. Harvesting begins with the ripening of garden strawberries, then they are replaced by raspberries, currants and gooseberries. In this section you will learn all about the benefits and nuances of growing various berries.

Of course, in modern stores you can buy berries and fruits of ordinary and exotic types. But every summer resident knows that his own harvest does not contain harmful fertilizers, and the aroma and taste of real berries cannot be compared with purchased goods. For example, garden strawberries and black currants appeared in Russia in the 17th century, after which they began to be cultivated constantly, and no one remembered buying foreign berries.

Each berry has a lot of valuable properties, however, many of them are lost during heat treatment. But this cannot be avoided when cooking jam and compotes. That is why modern nutritionists recommend putting some of the berries in the freezer in order to use the frozen berries for food purposes after the end of the season.
