How and when to plant small green vegetables

Planting time of small green vegetables

Green vegetables can be grown all year round, but the best planting time is in autumn and winter. It is better to grow them indoors in the north in winter.

Green vegetables can be planted in March in spring, and topdressing should be done once after planting. In addition, the plants are prone to insect pests, so pay attention to preventing aphids in March and spray pesticides as early as possible.

Green vegetables can be sown in June-August and spread evenly. The amount of seeds used needs to be determined according to the purpose of planting. If the temperature is high, use a sun net to cover the entire process of cultivation. In addition, green vegetables are prone to diseases and pests, so insect-proof nets can be used to achieve the purpose of using less or no pesticides.

Green vegetables can be transplanted in autumn from early September to early November, with a plant spacing of 20×25 cm. After transplanting, they can be watered thoroughly once, and the first topdressing should be carried out after the plants grow back to life. In case of drought, water or irrigate in time to prevent aphids and viral diseases as early as possible.

Wintergreen vegetables can be transplanted from early November to the end of January of the following year. They can be planted deeply and densely. The maintenance method is basically the same as that of spring cultivation. Strengthen cold-proof measures and use non-woven fabric floating cover.

How to plant small green vegetables

The amount of sowing depends on your purpose. It can be broadcast or spot-seeded.

2. Thinning and transplanting: Thinning can be carried out when the pakchoi grows one pair of true leaves, and the second thinning can be carried out when it grows two pairs of true leaves. Transplanting can be carried out when it grows 5-6 leaves. The distance between seedlings should be about 23 cm in autumn and about 17 cm in winter.

3. Pest and disease control: The main diseases of pakchoi are black spot, white spot and anthrax, which can be controlled with cypermethrin, thiophanate-methyl and carbendazim. Pests include aphids, diamondback moth, cabbage looper and yellow striped flea beetle, which should be discovered and controlled in time.
