Currants - Myths of gardeners

in hive-185836 •  5 days ago 

If you think that Ancient Greece is the only place where the most unimaginable myths were born, then you are mistaken, Homer would have understood his inferiority if he lived in our time and he would have seen various kinds of videos about how a garden can be hassle-free, and this is the slogan that vloggers often use to lure viewers to their video channels.

Yes this is a true myth of myths in those cases when the author tells us that if we do everything as he tells us, then our garden will become a holiday for us without any hassle.

Therefore any information should be carefully filtered and better yet never leave the garden unattended no matter what technology you use.

Everything is very individual and the ideal gardening recipe simply does not exist.

My wife and I started thinking about plants that would be the most resilient in not very fertile soil and that would require a minimum of our attention in case we don’t often end up in the garden.

Currants a low-growing bush that produces a bountiful harvest of berries came into our field of vision.

One day a distant relative told us that she and her husband had planted several hectares of currant bushes and like an elephant on a sunny day, come to tend them twice a year and to harvest the crop.

It's tempting but either this is a myth or the conditions for weevils to exist where her land is located are unbearable.

Apparently this is one of the poles of Venus where acid rains constantly fall but no one has proven to me that Venus exists.

But I doubt that weevils which are capable of destroying the entire currant harvest in a short time would miss such an opportunity if a person does not spray the bushes with a solution of mustard powder in time, which is probably one of the best means of fighting them.

And they appear out of nowhere, as if teleporting I found them even in a sealed pack of cereals in the store.

Personally for me the myth that currants are a plant that you plant and forget about is debunked.

Love black currants, it is a shame that the plants and fruits did not come as they should.

Maybe we try to plant black currants this year :)

In fact, this is a win-win shrub, since you can use not only the fruits, but also the branches and leaves, brewing tea from them, or using them in canning vegetables, I will definitely plant it :)
Thank you!
