Most European gooseberry cultivars are quite susceptible to disease. The best options are US hybrids such as Glendale (low chill requirement) and Poorman (few thorns, high yield, good taste, and disease/ mildew resistance). Multiple cultivars can increase yield through cross pollination opportunities. Gooseberries are eaten fresh, used in desserts or jams, or made into fruit wines or teas. birds, blueberry maggot fly, strawberry rootworm, blueberry spanworm, blueberry flea beetle, blueberry leaf beetle, blueberry thrips, blueberry sawfly, gall midge, grasshopers. Pollination self-pollinating There are two common blueberry variants: high bush and low bush (wild). Blueberries prefer sandy, well-drained, acid (pH 4.5 – 5.5) soils high in organic material. They have shallow roots that form a mat, seldom reaching deeper than 35 centimeters and mostly found within 15 – 25 centimeters of the soil surface. Blueberries need good drainage, which can be improved by cultivating them in a raised bed. RHUBARB Function Spatial Role Rooting Sunlight pH Water Minimum Temperatures Food Crop ground crop Deep Full Sun 6,5 500 mm ° C to ° C Rhubarb is a perennial plant that thrives in cool conditions, is very winter hardy, and resistant to drought. It remains productive for 8 - 15 years. It’s stems are harvested for the production of jams and pie fillings. The plant becomes dormant in winter. Temperatures below 5 C are required to stimulate spring reemergence. High summer temperatures suppress plant growth, leaving only early leaves. Foliage growth resumes in later summer when temperatures fall. Pagina 42
