Berries

The season of strawberry ripening, like a beautiful dream, awaits everyone - from small to large. The picture of sweet juicy berries attracts like a magnet. The harvest time comes, and suddenly, it turns out that the strawberry has failed: some of the fruits have been gnawed, fungal mold has developed on the sides of some, and the sun peeps out through the perforated leaves. The question involuntarily creeps in: is it really the rainy season to blame? But the neighbor's strawberry was in exactly the same weather conditions, and it grew up for a feast for everyone.

One of the popular varieties with very large berries is Karaka Black.
