It has crispy flesh with a pleasant taste. These varieties have tasty seeds, but are still covered with a skin, but the Golosemyanka has only a thin dark green film.

Since such varieties were originally created for processing seeds into oil and for other technical purposes, their pulp did not have a good taste. Over time, this deficiency was corrected.

what varieties of honeysuckle should be planted together

Intelligent Dolphin

Since there was an addition to the question, it means you didn’t really believe in the answers. I confirm the answers already given to you that any varieties can be planted! Two varieties are enough, but three is better. Especially while the bushes are small, there is a greater guarantee of pollination. That is, not three bushes of the same variety, but one bush of three varieties each. The rest is all nonsense that should not be paid attention to. The flowering of all varieties of honeysuckle is extended and the peak of flowering in early and late varieties overlaps

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the varieties are early or late, they will still be pollinated. On average, flowering lasts for 20-28 days, and in unfavorable conditions it can bloom for more than a month, and the difference in ripening time for early and late varieties is approximately 2 weeks

That is, any varieties overlap the flowering of each other. All varieties are cross-pollinated and can pollinate each other, meaning any variety will do. Honeysuckle varieties behave differently in different regions, so it is difficult to recommend varieties. I recommend: Morena, Roxana, Silginka, Sibiryachka, Bakcharsky giant.

Vogel

any. In principle, it is recommended to have 2-3 varieties on the site for cross-pollination. I have two, I don’t remember the names, but they bear fruit and there’s enough for everyone

Irina Plekhanova

Sorry, but there is still a difference in the yield. Some varieties complement each other more successfully. Moscow and Leningrad varieties were bred mainly on the basis of Kamchatka honeysuckle; the Urals and Altai used southern coastal and Altai forms along with Kamchatka. But even among close varieties, some pairs are more successful for planting together (using the example of VIR varieties). This issue is well covered on the website https://flower.onego.ru/kustar/lonice_s.html. Thanks to whoever wrote this article.

maria_johansson

The coolest article about honeysuckle, its varieties, which ones should be planted together for pollination: https://www.greeninfo.ru/fruits/lonicera.html/Article/_/aID/5486 Scientists develop varieties and there are rules for which varieties are more suitable for better harvest, not all varieties produce good berries and not all varieties are suitable for pollination. It’s a pity that you don’t remember the variety of your honeysuckle, but when the harvest appears, you will be able to determine! I can send to your address selected articles about honeysuckle, but you can always search on Google or Yandex yourself, there is a lot of information in Russian, although many sites simply blatantly copy articles without citing the source, so there are a lot of “doubles”.

Irina Shabalina

I have been growing honeysuckle for many years. I also think that, in principle, any variety is suitable. But there is one “but”. This is always true if in your region spring comes quickly and it’s immediately warm, then honeysuckle varieties bloom together and the difference between the beginning of flowering of early and late varieties is 3-5 days and does not affect pollination in any way. But if you have long, cold springs, then the difference in the timing of flowering may be more noticeable, then you need to plant in groups - those that bloom at the same time - either early, or middle, or late. Contact the Bakcharsky nursery, Tomsk region (there is a website), they have the best varieties of honeysuckle at the moment, and inexpensively—50 rubles for 2 years, but they even sent me half of the three-year-olds—gorgeous seedlings and everyone started getting started.

Tatyana Pavlova

On the website sad-i-ogorod.ru NPO gardens of Russia you can see, there the best variety is written for each variety - a pollinator.

Hard-barked species

This group includes not only pumpkins, but also zucchini and squash. A distinctive feature of plants of this species is the rapid ripening of fruits. At the end of summer, even in the middle zone, pumpkins are fully ripe. Another advantage is taste. The pulp of the fruit is very sweet and juicy. The ripe fruit can be stored for quite a long time because it has a thick skin. The pulp of some varieties is well suited for juice, while others can only be grown for seeds.

"Spaghetti"

Pumpkins of this variety have an early ripening period of 65 to 80 days. A large number of fruit ovaries can form on one wattle fence. After ripening, the fruit weighs from 0.8 to 1.5 kilograms. The pulp is not very sweet and has a fibrous structure. Often used to prepare side dishes.

"Muscat de Provence"

This variety is distinguished by high yield; one pumpkin can weigh from 8 to 10 kilograms. It takes a long time to ripen, within 120 days.

The skin of the fruit is very dense, and the pulp is tasty and smells like honey. This species is resistant to various diseases and viruses.

"Gilea"

The fruit ripens in 100-110 days. The weight of one pumpkin is from 6 to 9 kilograms. The pulp is very sweet and juicy, and the skin is covered with a layer of dense waxy coating.

The fruits of the Gileya variety are stored for a very long time; the shelf life of a mature plant can reach 12 months.

Which Redmond multicooker is better to choose?

The question of choosing multicookers for home use is open to many. A large assortment of small household appliances makes it difficult to choose the most preferable model

If the choice fell on the products of the manufacturer Redmond, then when choosing a model you should pay attention to the following criteria:

Available functionality. The more built-in operating modes, the higher the cost of the multicooker itself. Standard operating modes include steaming, soups, cereals, baking, stewing, frying, etc. In order not to overpay, you should choose a model equipped with those modes that will really be in demand.

Bowl volume. The volume of the bowl can vary over a fairly large range - from 1.5 to 10 liters. Miniature and, on the contrary, too large models are not in great demand, so even if you want to find them on the shelves of household appliances stores it is not easy. The most popular models are those with a bowl volume of 4.5 – 6 liters. This is quite enough to prepare a dish for 3-5 people in 1 session.

Bowl cover. As for the inner coating of the bowl, it is most often made of Teflon, ceramics and a five-layer non-stick marble coating.

Multicooker power and performance. This is one of the most important selection parameters, since the speed of cooking will depend on it. As a rule, the power of Redmond household multicookers ranges from 200 to 2,000 W. Power depends on the volume of the bowl. For a small family (2-3 people), a multicooker with a power of up to 700 W is quite enough. For fast cooking, you will need models with a power of at least 1,500 W.

Control type. Modern multicookers can be equipped with two types of control - mechanical and electronic. In the first case, control is carried out using buttons; in the second, the device is equipped with a display that displays all information about the operation. The second option is more expensive, but, as practice shows, electronic multicookers more often fail and their repair is more expensive.

Design features of Redmond multicookers

To make using the device as comfortable and safe as possible, and to have a long service life, you should pay attention to the following design features:

Mandatory presence of rubberized pads on the legs. This will prevent unwanted movements of the multicooker on the countertop during operation. Also, thanks to the overlays, surfaces will not be scratched.
Heating elements should be located exclusively in the lower part of the housing or evenly on all sides (3D heating). If financial capabilities allow, then it is better to give preference to a model with 3D heating. Food will cook faster, and there will be no chance of food burning or uneven cooking.
The appliance must be equipped with a moisture collector to collect condensate. If the design does not provide for it, then all the moisture will settle on the lid and then flow back into the bowl. This has a bad effect on the taste of the prepared food.
It is recommended to give preference to models whose body is made of metal rather than plastic. Metal is more durable, easier to care for and does not fade. But prices for metal models are more expensive.

Additional functions. The most common and popular modes include keep warm, delayed start, removable cord and multicooker. In multi-cook mode, the consumer has the opportunity to independently set the cooking time and heating temperature. Using the keep warm option, you can keep food in the bowl warm for any length of time.

How to choose a good refrigerator

There are several criteria that you need to pay attention to when choosing a refrigerator

Dimensions

Standard dimensions of refrigerators: 60 cm width and 55-60 cm depth. These dimensions are optimal for classic apartment layouts

Since the depth and width are in most cases the same, the main attention should be paid to the height - the useful volume, that is, the capacity of the equipment, depends on it

Useful volume

There are no universal values, but:

for 2-3 people, refrigerators with a capacity of up to 250 liters are optimal;
for 3-4 people - up to 350 liters;
for 4-6 people - over 400 liters.

Number of cameras

Chambers are essentially zones with different temperature conditions. The most popular option is two-chamber models (refrigerator and freezer compartment). This is due to the fact that single-chamber refrigerators are less functional, and three-chamber refrigerators are more expensive than classic ones.

Compressor

Simple and inverter compressors can be used. — the latter manage productivity more effectively. In addition, models can use one or two compressors. The advantage of two compressors is a more precise separation of temperature zones and reduced load on each unit. The disadvantage of this design is that repairs are more expensive.

Other characteristics

To understand which refrigerators are high-quality and inexpensive, it is not enough to pay attention to the technical parameters. Experts recommend looking at:

The “parental control” function is a must-have solution for families with small children. This option will help avoid accidental changes to settings and ensure the safety of the child.
Quick freezing function - it will simplify the processing of products and help with the preparation of workpieces.
The angle and direction of door opening - this parameter cannot be ignored when planning a kitchen environment.

Key characteristics of good winter tires

So, what does the characteristic “best winter studded tires” mean? Good wheels for the cold season should combine the following parameters:

softness - summer models begin to “tann” when the temperature drops, while winter lines will remain soft in any frost;
