Spring vegetable planting time and method

Spring vegetable planting time

Spring vegetables are generally planted in September in autumn and will mature in the spring of the following year. In order to allow them to grow better, planting must be completed before the end of October at the latest. They can be planted in greenhouses, which is more conducive to their growth.

How to plant spring vegetables

1. Prepare the seedbed: When sowing spring vegetables, it is best to choose fertile, well-drained, sticky soil that has been used to grow cruciferous crops for many years. Deep plowing, trenching, and leveling of the beds are required, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied.

2. Sowing: Spring vegetables can be planted by scattering or row sowing. Scattering is to spread the seeds evenly on the bed surface, then cover them with soil, water them and cover them with grass to keep them warm and moist.

3. Management during the seedling stage: When the seedlings grow 1-2 true leaves, thinning should be carried out and some densely growing seedlings should be removed. When the seedlings grow 3-4 true leaves, some leggy and weak seedlings should be removed.

Precautions for planting spring vegetables

When spring vegetables are growing normally, you must do a good job of fertilizer and water management, especially during the seedling stage. Topdressing is needed according to the growth of the seedlings, and the soil must be kept moist, especially when it is dry during the seedling stage. However, be careful not to water too much.
