The warm weather has accelerated the growth of vegetables in the open ground, says the agricultural organization Pro Agria in its press release.
Therefore, we are getting domestic vegetables, early potatoes and strawberries for Midsummer’s Eve tables.
The supply of early potatoes is increasing all the time, and by Midsummer, early potatoes can already be obtained from several regions.
From early vegetables, the first open field cucumbers, early cabbage and garden peas, in addition to bunch vegetables, have already appeared on store shelves and market tables.
The rhubarb harvest season continues at its best. Instead, the supply of domestic asparagus ends by Midsummer.

Strawberry situation
According to Pro Agria, the first open field strawberries are already being picked in the southwestern parts of the country.
Some of the varieties are just in bloom, because with the help of different varieties and also cultivation methods, the completion of the strawberry harvest is staggered over a longer period of time. The main strawberry harvest season in open fields is estimated to start in Midsummer.
– The first raspberries from the growth tunnels are also already on sale. The currants, on the other hand, are still in the raw jelly stage, the announcement adds.
