Chrysanthemum can be sown in spring and autumn, and is an organic vegetable in summer and autumn:The main purpose of growing bitter melon is not to appreciate its flowers. The reason why it is called bitter melon is mainly because it has a faint bitter taste. The leaves are pinnately lobed and grow naturally in all directions, like a bunch of blooming green chrysanthemums, hence the name. The leaves of bitter melon are green, and the young leaves are similar to lettuce, but the nutritional value is higher than lettuce, so it is developed and utilized as an organic vegetable. Chrysanthemum prefers a cool and humid environment, is not drought-resistant, and can withstand low temperatures of around 5°C. Mass cultivation is generally based on greenhouse cultivation, and the yield of sowing and seedling raising in spring and autumn is relatively stable . For family farming, spring sowing is generally the main method. An ambient temperature of 10-20℃ is most conducive to germination . Sowing is done in March and April, and the crops are harvested and eaten in summer. Specific method of sowing bitter chrysanthemum:There are also different types of bitter melon. Edible bitter melon is a variety that has been improved and optimized, not a purely wild species. It is recommended that family breeding purchase regular seeds through agricultural supply points. When sowing bitter chrysanthemum, you should choose an environment with plenty of sunlight, good drainage, loose and fertile soil. Deep plowing and turning the seedling land before sowing should be done in advance. If you have organic fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer at home, you can add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer. After preparing the land, choose the appropriate time to sow according to the local climatic conditions. The appropriate sowing density should be controlled during sowing. After sowing, cover with 2-3CM of soil and water once with a spray. The seeds of bitter melon can generally germinate in a week under suitable environmental temperature. During the seedling stage, spray water according to the dryness and humidity of the soil. When the seedlings grow to about 8 cm, thinning can be carried out appropriately according to the density. After thinning is completed, thin fertilizer can be applied to promote growth. The growth cycle of bitter melon is not long, taking about 2-3 months from sowing to harvesting. During the growth process, when the weight of a single plant reaches about 3 taels, it can be harvested . Once it blooms, the taste will become old and only the young leaves can be eaten. |
