Natural features of the zone

Moscow Region and the Leningrad Region are located in Central Russia. Like most of the regions included in this climate zone, they belong to a risky farming belt. When growing heat-loving crops, farmers often encounter common problems.

1. Lack of heat. The ripening of cucumbers requires at least 40 days with a comfortable temperature (from 20 ° C and above).
2. Lack of natural light. In temperate climates, there are rarely long sunny periods. The Middle Strip is characterized by a protracted spring and cold summer, which always negatively affects the yield of vegetables.
3. Frosts.The cultivation of heat-loving crops in the open field faces such problems as returning cold.

In rainy and cold weather, bees are very reluctant to move, which causes a serious decrease in yield in their dependent varieties
