In the middle of summer, gardeners reap the fruits of their labors - they begin to harvest. Berries ripen in June-July strawberries, raspberries, currants,gooseberries, cherries and early varieties apples. Strawberries ripen in different time depending on the place of growth and variety. Usually they need to be picked when fully ripe, but berries intended for transportation and processing can be picked slightly underripe.

For harvesting, you need a small container with a capacity of 2-3 kg. Remove the berries together with the stalk and calyx, in this form they do not crumple and deteriorate less. Be sure to separately collect fruits damaged by gray rot, burn them in a fire or bury them deep in the soil. Harvesting is carried out every 1-2 days, avoiding the overripe berries.

Do not harvest in rainy weather and do not pour berries from one container to another, otherwise they will wrinkle. You can store strawberries only very a short time in refrigerators or cellars with good ventilation. It should be remembered that during storage, already on the second day, the content of vitamin C in the berries decreases. It is unacceptable to leave rotten and overripe berries on plants: they serve as a source of rot and, falling off, clog the plantation with seedlings from germinated seeds.

This is due to the non-simultaneous ripening of berries and, in connection with this, the prolongation and repetition of their collection. Raspberry ripening begins in the second half of July, and the collection ends in August. Collect these berries every other day in baskets, small boxes (1-2 kg).
For fresh use, remove fully ripe and easily separated berries from the fruit, for sale and transportation - somewhat unripe and with a stalk for better transportation.

When collecting black currant remember that in most varieties, berries and clusters ripen non-simultaneously: at first - more large berries at the base of the brush. Collect such varieties in two steps and do not hesitate to collect, as ripe berries quickly overripe, burst and crumble. In varieties with non-shattering berries or with their simultaneous ripening, harvest in one step when fully ripe.
Such varieties of black and all varieties of red and white currants collect with brushes: the berries are more transportable, better preserved, valuable juice does not flow out of them. Separate the berries from the brush immediately before processing, after washing and drying. Pre-select and destroy diseased and fire-damaged specimens. Collect in dry weather in a 2-5 kg ​​container in which they lie thin layer and do not hesitate. In the refrigerator at a temperature of + 5 ° C, black currants are stored for up to 5 days, red and white - for a week, gooseberries - up to 10 days or more.

In 2016, the fantasy film Warcraft was released, based on the popular game series (with the original title Warcraft). Many liked the picture, in connection with which the question arose: when will the sequel - the movie Warcraft 2.


Actually the big question is will there ever be a part 2 of the Warcraft movie (Warcraft 2).

And the point here is not at all the lack of spectator interest in history and not the lack of source material. Many fans are looking forward to the release of the sequel to the film. One young man even posted a tweet claiming to have watched the sci-fi movie 4 times in IMAX and is now biting his nails in anticipation of the sequel. To which I even received a response from Duncan Jones, the director of the first Warcraft, who replied that he himself was looking forward to when this would happen, but it all depended on the decision of the production media company Legendary Entertainment.

Also unlikely to interfere with the release of Warcraft 2 and big number negative reviews that collected the first film. There are many examples when, after serious criticism of the first parts, the studio released sequels that had some success.

The main thing that determines whether Warcraft 2 will be released or not is a matter of money. After all, it's just business. As you know, the first film failed at the US box office, but "shot" in some other countries. For example, China grossed $156 million for a box office total of over $430 million. That is, the financial success of the Warcraft 2 film is unlikely to be ensured in the United States, however, in foreign markets, for example, in Russia and China, something will be able to be collected. And producers, before they start filming, must decide for themselves whether they are ready to take the risk of a film failing at the box office or not. We expect that sooner or later a positive decision will be made on the production of the second part of the Warcraft movie.

When will the Warcraft 2 movie be released in Russia:

Despite the fact that there is no decision yet on the start of filming and the timing of the release of the Warcraft 2 movie, the approximate release date can be named. Preliminary - this is May 2020. In Russia, it could very well be Thursday 14 May 2020.

The traditional date for Scarlet Sails 2019 falls on Saturday 22 June 2019. However, June 22 in Russia is the Day of Memory and Sorrow, the date of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Therefore, it was obvious that postponement of the holiday to Sunday 23 June 2019.
