New
Siberian Garlic Chives "Broadleaf" - Allium nutans.
A storehouse of health and vitamins. A winter-hardy and productive variety that produces tender and juicy greens with a slightly spicy taste and a light garlic aroma!
An early-ripening variety of perennial onions, distinguished by early and friendly regrowth in the spring and a long yield.
In the first year, selective harvesting is carried out 70-80 days after germination.
In the second year, the period from the beginning of regrowth to the economic suitability of the leaves is 19-21 days.
The bulb is shortened, up to 3 cm high. The mass of leaves in the first year reaches 20-30 g / plant, in the second year 200-250 g / plant. The flower stalk appears in the second - third year. The leaves are flat, fleshy, with rounded ends, 25-30 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, the weight of one plant is 40-45 g.
The leaves are very tender and juicy, do not become coarse for a long time.
The taste is pleasant, slightly spicy, with a garlic aroma. The yield of greens is high: 3.5-4.0 kg / m2.
Value of the variety: high winter hardiness, friendly growth of tender juicy leaves that do not become coarse until late autumn, early vitamin production, multiple cutting of greens.
Used fresh as a seasoning for soups, meat dishes, for freezing, drying and pickling.
1.0 g = 350-550 seeds. They retain their germination for three to four years.
Agrotechnics.
Propagated by dividing the bush and seeds. Seeds are sown in early spring or before winter in wide rows with 70 cm between rows. Seedlings are thinned out by 30-40 cm.
For vegetative propagation, two- to three-year-old plants are used. One bush produces 15-30 bulbs for planting. Bulbs are planted in early spring (late April), summer (June-July) and autumn (September). Further care consists of weeding, watering and fertilizing. Usually, no more than five years are grown in one place.
Sowing time: from early spring to mid-August or before winter: at the end of October.
Sowing seeds in open ground in rows to a depth of 1-2 cm. It grows back immediately after the snow melts, leaf formation occurs continuously. Leaves are cut as needed constantly from April until autumn.
Young leaves are cut at a height of 5-7 cm from the ground 3-4 times during the growing season. In early spring and after each cutting, the plants must be fed. The plants need timely watering, weeding and loosening.
Allium nutans is a light-loving plant. It does well on sufficiently moist, fertile and weed-free soils. The optimal reaction of the soil environment is pH 6.7.
Allium nutans loves fertile soil, responds to fertilizing and watering. If the soil does not have enough of the elements it needs, the onion rosette thins out and a well-fed bunch of leaves is replaced by several pale leaves. But if you feed it and water it abundantly, the slime will respond cheerfully by growing a powerful "tussock" of new leaves.
The agricultural technology for growing the slime is very simple. First of all, it requires fertile soil and, as already mentioned, abundant watering. The slime also reproduces very "conveniently" - by self-seeding and does not need special care. Its natural enemies are dandelions. As for weeds, it drives them out of its garden bed itself. Under favorable conditions, the leaves of the slime grow to a height of 30-40 cm, are 2-3 cm wide, juicy and fleshy. The slime is a very cold-resistant plant, tolerating frosts down to minus 5-6 degrees.
