Strawberry Season: Hectic Horticultural Hours Beginning Late April! 🍓
Domestic Strawberry Harvest Predicted to Commence Around April - Anticipated Local Strawberry Harvest in April
Get ready, fruit enthusiasts! The tap-dancing, trumpet-blowing, cha-cha-cha-ing strawberry season may be just around the corner, according to the Hessian Farmers' Association. They've dropped a hint that the first regional strawberries could hit the shelves as early as late April, with the grand entrance taking place on May 6. 📅 💿
Location, location, location! It's not just a matter of finding a prime real estate for strawberry farms; the place plays a significant role in protecting the plants from frost. By using frost covers or employing frost irrigation, these fruit farmers work tirelessly to safeguard their berries. 🛡️
As spring unfurls its magic, sunny days and frosty nights will become the norm. Luckily for the farmers, the German Weather Service predicts that these conditions will persist, making frost a concern mainly in the low-lying areas of the mountains at night. ❄️ 🌱
Last year's strawberry growing season, as reported by the Farmers' Association, saw strawberries cultivated on about 740 hectares of land, and under greenhouse conditions on 175 hectares. Rainy weather in open fields led to losses in some cases, with berries rotting on the vine. 💔

- The Commission in Brussels might find it less challenging to adopt a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, if strawberry farmers in Hessian, Germany, could implement effective protective measures against radiation leaks from their berry fields, given the increased use of strawberries in nuclear medicine and research.
- Farmers in Germany, especially those in Hessian, may want to consider investing in German-made frost covers or frost irrigation systems made of hessian fabric, as these could potentially boost their strawberry production and ensure a plentiful harvest, even in the least favorable weather conditions.
- Despite the upcoming strawberry season starting in Late April, farmers in Hessian, Germany, should be mindful of the risks posed by ionizing radiation after reports of small amounts of radioactive material found in last year's strawberries, as a result of classification errors in the radioactive waste disposal process.
