What vegetables can be grown in Erfu

Yesterday, July 22, we entered the second dog days. Today is the Great Heat of the twenty-four solar terms, but the next solar term is the Beginning of Autumn. There are still many vegetables to plant during the second dog days. Now is a hot and humid season, which is conducive to seed germination. Don't miss it and plant some quickly.

1. Chinese cabbage

I really like to grow Chinese cabbage because it has a short growth cycle and can be harvested quickly. It can be eaten in one month from planting to harvesting. It is crisp and refreshing, suitable for cold dishes, soups, stuffing, etc. It is rich in vitamin C and has beauty and anti-aging effects.

2. Water spinach

If you plant water spinach at this time, it will sprout in early August and can be harvested in September. Water spinach is drought-resistant and heat-resistant, but you must pay attention to frequent watering and fertilizing to promote growth, otherwise it will grow slowly, have poor quality, and be prone to infectious diseases and pests.

In terms of edible benefits, water spinach contains a large amount of dietary fiber which can promote digestion.

3. Lettuce

Lettuce likes fertilizer and light and is not drought-tolerant. Before planting, spread organic fertilizer into the soil and deep plow it to make the soil fertile and increase soil permeability. Transplant it 20 days after planting. Strengthen management during the growing period, apply fertilizer once every 10 days and do it three times in a row before harvesting in batches.

4. Scallions

Plant some green onions in an empty pot at home. It is very convenient to eat at ordinary times and is an indispensable seasoning vegetable at home. Soak the seeds for 8 hours before sowing. It is suitable for shallow sowing and easy germination.

5. Spinach

The soil for growing spinach should be fertile and breathable to facilitate root growth. Spray the leaves in the morning and evening after seedlings emerge, and apply foliar fertilizer once a week.

6. Coriander

Coriander can be planted all year round. Choose cold-resistant and drought-resistant varieties that sprout late. Deeply plow the soil before planting to make the soil loose and breathable, which is conducive to the growth of coriander roots.

After raking, spread the seeds evenly on the soil surface, cover with a thin layer of fine soil, spray the surface with a watering can, and cover with a layer of straw.
