What vegetables are suitable to grow around the Dragon Boat Festival?

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the temperature stabilizes and becomes warm and suitable, but the light becomes stronger and stronger, so you need to plant light-loving and sun-resistant vegetables, such as water spinach, lettuce, lettuce, cucumber, leek, loofah, pumpkin, etc.

When planting, you must pay attention to the methods and subsequent management. At this time, the rainfall is gradually increasing, and the excess water in the soil should be drained in time. When the temperature is high, increase the amount of water appropriately to avoid water loss, otherwise it will hinder growth and reduce yield.

1. Water spinach

Water spinach is suitable for planting around the Dragon Boat Festival. It grows very fast and has a very strong reproductive ability. It can be propagated by sowing and placed in a warm environment in advance to germinate, which can speed up germination. You can eat the water spinach you planted in less than two months.

2. Lettuce

Lettuce is suitable for planting around the Dragon Boat Festival. The light at this time is not very strong, so it is the best time to plant it. Its growth rate is also very fast. It can usually be harvested more than a month after sowing, and you can make a cold lettuce dish in summer.

3. Chinese cabbage

Chinese cabbage is suitable for planting around the Dragon Boat Festival. The planting method is also simple. After leveling the land, apply some base fertilizer, then water it thoroughly, then sprinkle the Chinese cabbage seeds directly on it, cover it with wood ash, and provide shade if the light is strong.

4. Cucumber
