Not everyone knows the main rules for harvesting.

How to understand that it is time to harvest

The best time to harvest in the garden is early in the morning.

At this time of day, the fruits are the juiciest and most aromatic.

You need to check the ripeness of the crop every day.

The fact is that some fruits and vegetables grow very quickly. For example, cucumbers, zucchini, beans.

In addition, the more often you harvest, the more it will be in the future.

Simply allowing plants such as cucumbers to grow longer can change their reproductive period.

You should not wait until the fruits outgrow. Many of them simply become too large and not tasty.

Therefore, do not wait for large sizes, pick medium-sized fruits.

When harvesting, use two hands and scissors, if necessary.

Hold the trunk of the plant with one hand so as not to break it.

Some fruits and vegetables can ripen only on the branch, others and when picked - peaches, apples, tomatoes.
