Even before buying a dacha, I said no garden! Only if apothecary, with any useful herb. Garden yes! I need a garden. But trees are not dill for you, they will not grow quickly. Therefore, the first useful thing that we did at the dacha was planting trees. Not all yet, but some have already been chosen!
As many here advised, we went to the nursery. Closest to the cottage. I, in my naivety, decided that they would help me there. But the young lady looked around the plantation with her hand and briefly threw «choose.»
— Is that all? — Sasha chuckled.
— Apparently. I sighed and went online.
I read the characteristics, chose sweet varieties.
“This and this!” I pointed to the trees.
“It won’t work,” the girl said. “They should bloom at the same time!”
I almost punched her in the forehead.
-What else do you need to know?!
— Well … but what, yes, nothing.
Thanks for the fucking advice!
Still managed to buy something. The Internet is rich in information.
Apple tree «Dream». Sweet and early. A descendant of Papirovka, bred specifically for our conditions. Apples are red-yellow, sweet and large. They ripen early.
Apple tree «Vadimovka». Looks strange. But Sasha liked the tree, and he no longer wanted to choose another. The fruits are large, sweet and sour with a delicate aroma. Yellow-green, ripen early, stored for up to two months.
Maybe the right choice, because after flowering, a whole one apple appeared on it!
Cherry «Spartan». A well developed tree, and unlike a simple sweet cherry, it is more resistant to everything. Both cold and dry. The fruits are large, dark, juicy, sweet and sour with a cherry aroma)) We are waiting for …
But the cherry «Memory of Zhukov» does not seem to survive. A variety bred specifically for our latitudes, it seems, could not stand the heat. It’s a pity, because the tree was big and beautiful. However, I am hopeful. Because one branch is still alive! Berries are red, juicy and sweet. ehhh.
In addition to trees, bushes were also planted. And even got the first harvest from raspberries! As many as TWO large yellow berries! But they are still ripe!
More yield on currants. Each bush has a dozen berries! Gooseberries are slightly less generous. But something also sings))
Raspberries were chosen to be remontant. «Golden Autumn», early variety. Large
yellow berries. ‘Glen Ample’ is more of a crimson tree than a bush. They say it’s rare. One of the newest varieties. But for now, it’s just a green stick with three berries. Late variety. «Royal Penguin» — also remontant and also grows as a «tree». It is very interesting what will grow out of them as a result.
Blackcurrant «Belarusian early» is considered an average grade. But the «Black Prince» is early. And on that and on the other there are already berries and they look equally unripe)))
I chose gooseberries without thorns, but something went wrong)) “Russian yellow” is an average variety. The berries are large and sweet. Without thorns. But «Grushenka» is just a terrible porcupine! The berries are purple and sweet and sour.
Here, perhaps, is all that was planted. Not so little, considering that there is no water on the site. And each tree requires at least two buckets of water. But we try))
