When you wander through the forest for a long time and decide that it's time to put an end to this walk and want to leave the forest choosing a certain direction but after walking some distance you again find yourself in the forest and not outside it the thought appears that you are simply lost.
I know this from the case when I left my car in the forest and then could not find it for a long time all the clearings and forest roads were like two peas in a pod lol.
But, this is just a comparison with some of the actions of people and my desire to learn as much as possible about growing berries called bog bilberry or Vaccínium uliginósum in my garden.
It is always interesting to learn something new, even when, in the end, I understand that this idea needs to be thrown into the fire, since in my case it is absolutely unpromising and is more like wandering through the forest with the goal of leaving the forest.
Once at a bazaar in the capital of Moldova I saw large gray-blue berries for sale which the seller labeled as bilberry Vaccínium myrtíllus and said that he grows them himself and the price for the berry was fabulous.
In Moldova bilberry Vaccínium myrtíllus does not grow I know this well but I know this berry very well because I collected it in the forest and often bought it in season in the north of Ukraine where it is a very affordable berry.
The bilberry Vaccínium myrtíllus is not large and much darker in color than the berry that the seller and gardener offered me.
I could have blindly believed him at his word, but my inner instinct told me that there was some kind of deception lol and I decided to figure it out.
Either I got lost in this forest or he did.
But a lot of time passed before I got a clear picture of whether it was true or not and for this I had to become interested in growing a berry called bog bilberry Vaccínium uliginósum.
Yes, this berry was then sold under the name bilberry Vaccínium myrtíllus they are similar in appearance but bog bilberry Vaccínium uliginósum is several times larger and the color is lighter the taste is not as rich and less aromatic.
The bushes of the bog bilberry Vaccínium uliginósum are much higher than the bushes of the bilberry Vaccínium myrtíllus and having managed to grow such a plant on a personal plot it would be possible to collect a good harvest of berries but here, the wandering in the forest begins.
The soil from our garden, or from any garden is not suitable for this plant it needs a substrate of high-moor red peat rotted sawdust and coniferous substrate from a coniferous forest.
It seems like nothing special but every year you have to add forest substrate to the substrate and its removal in the forest is a crime, since you cause significant damage to the forest by removing the substrate.
Apparently the price of this berry includes a fine in advance that will have to be paid to the forestry if you are caught by foresters doing this lol.
So, a person who wants to get a forest berry in his garden must constantly return to the forest for forest substrate, without which the berry plant will refuse to yield a harvest and moreover, it will die.
Don't you think that this is similar to the moment when we got lost in the forest?
Tomorrow I will continue the story about the bog bilberry Vaccínium uliginósum and the difficulty of growing this plant.
