What to choose this year?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, gardeners ask themselves the same question.<br>Should I choose a hybrid variety or an old domestic variety?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer is not black and white. Both groups have their role to play. If you understand the difference, your garden will be more successful and your harvest will be better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do commercial or hybrid varieties mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial varieties are bred with a clear goal. Stable yield. Disease resistance. Uniform ripening. Good transport and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their main advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 greater resistance to mold and other diseases<br>\u2013 uniform growth and fruits of similar size<br>\u2013 reliable yield even in less than ideal conditions<br>\u2013 suitable for greenhouses and more intensive cultivation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want less risk and a predictable result, these varieties are a good choice. Especially in years with more rainfall or for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-Grappolo-Premio-F1.jpg\" alt=\"Paradi\u017enik Premio F1 v grozdih z rde\u010dimi plodovi\" class=\"wp-image-7615\" style=\"width:648px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-Grappolo-Premio-F1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-Grappolo-Premio-F1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-Grappolo-Premio-F1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-Grappolo-Premio-F1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-Grappolo-Premio-F1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Premio F1 tomato \u2013 very early cluster hybrid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do old and native varieties mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old varieties were not bred primarily for transport or trade. Their advantage lies elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 more pronounced taste<br>\u2013 greater variety of colors and shapes<br>\u2013 softer texture<br>\u2013 historical and genetic value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many old varieties have thinner skins and more aromatic compounds. They are often not as hardy as hybrids, but they reward with a richer flavor. They are excellent for fresh consumption, salads, and homemade sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-cob-bicolor.jpg\" alt=\"Dvobarvni paradi\u017enik Cob Bicilor z rumeno rde\u010dimi progami\" class=\"wp-image-7456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-cob-bicolor.jpg 602w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/Paradiznik-cob-bicolor-600x574.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cob Bicilor \u2013 decorative two-tone fruits<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the better choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best solution is not to exclude one group or another.<br>The smart solution is a combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example of good practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 2 to 3 hybrid varieties for a stable yield<br>\u2013 3 to 5 old varieties for flavor and variety<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This way you ensure safety and at the same time a top-notch culinary experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why diversity matters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More varieties mean different ripening periods.<br>If one variety gets sick, the others often remain healthy.<br>Different growth habits allow adaptation to space: balcony, greenhouse, open garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wide selection of varieties is one of the main advantages of our offer... This allows you to create a garden according to your taste and not according to a limited offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/tomatoes-AdobeStock_66164088-945x630__72773.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8315\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5000146485805526;width:567px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/tomatoes-AdobeStock_66164088-945x630__72773.jpg 945w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/tomatoes-AdobeStock_66164088-945x630__72773-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/tomatoes-AdobeStock_66164088-945x630__72773-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/paradiznik.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/tomatoes-AdobeStock_66164088-945x630__72773-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is true that the development of horticulture and the market is pushing in the direction of hybrid varieties. These are resistant, stable and predictable. They have their place in modern production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>However, it is right not to forget about the old varieties.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old varieties carry genetic diversity. Each preserved variety represents preserved genetics that have adapted over decades or even centuries. This is important for the future of production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old varieties also preserve a wide range of flavors. Tomatoes are not one flavor. They can be sweet, sour, spicy or fruity. This variety is especially given by old varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By choosing these varieties, we preserve our heritage. The knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation. The seeds that our ancestors saved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we want the future, we must preserve the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, your garden should be a combination of modern resilience and old-fashioned taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vsako leto si vrtnarji zastavljamo isto vpra\u0161anje.Ali naj izberem hibridno sorto ali staro doma\u010do sorto?
