Due to the warm weather in March of this year, some Zaporozhye gardeners began planting potatoes at the beginning of the month, although usually the season begins three weeks later - in April. Due to the cooling that was observed in the last days of the month, potato seedlings froze.
In particular, potatoes froze in the gardens of the Pologovsky district of the Zaporizhzhya region, where lovers of early field work began to plant it in March.
Potatoes sprouted in the gardens of the residents of the Pologovsky district, but the cooling of the last days, when the air temperature dropped to 0 ° С, completely ruined the future crop. Potato sprouts are frozen.Earlier it was reported that the April cold snap with prolonged rains in the Kherson region could lead to a complete loss of the cherry crop. From April 10 this year, a drop in air temperature suddenly began, and rains were almost constant in the Kherson region.
So, in just one day on April 15, precipitation in the Golopristan district fell more than a monthly norm. In cold and rainy weather, the bees do not fly out of the hives and do not pollinate the flowers. Therefore, this year the Kherson region risks being left without a cherry crop.Peaches, cherries and apricots have already faded and they are not in danger. But if the cold weather persists, there will be very few cherries this year.
