As a vegetable that is suitable for all seasons, leeks not only occupy an indispensable position on the dining table, but are also favored by vegetable farmers because they are easy to grow and maintain. It has the characteristics of being planted once and harvested for many years, and is relatively easy to manage. So when is the best time to plant chives? 1. Spring planting Spring is one of the golden periods for leek growth, and the suitable planting time is usually from March to June, when the temperature is stable between 15 and 25 degrees. Spring planting should be carried out when the average temperature is above 10 degrees to ensure that the seeds can germinate smoothly. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees or drops below 10 degrees, seed germination will be adversely affected. 2. Autumn planting Autumn is also a good season for leek growth. The suitable planting time is generally from September to October, when the maximum temperature drops below 26 degrees. The planting time in the south can be slightly delayed, while in the north it is necessary to ensure that there is enough growing time between sowing and the beginning of winter, which usually takes at least two months, to ensure that the seedlings can grow strong enough to survive the winter safely. 3. Temperature requirements The optimal temperature for leek seeds to germinate is 15 to 25 degrees. Too high or too low temperatures will inhibit seed germination and seedling growth. 4. Sowing and germination The germination and emergence process of leek seeds is relatively slow, and it takes about 10 days after sowing to see the seedlings emerge from the soil. Therefore, growers need to be patient and keep the soil moist after sowing to promote germination. 5. Planting method Whether sowing or using leek roots for transplanting, spring and autumn are the best times to ensure that leeks can grow under suitable climatic conditions. In general, there is no strict time limit for planting leeks, and spring and autumn are both suitable planting seasons. Planting in spring can enjoy the warm and humid climate, which is conducive to the growth of leeks. Planting in the fall can take advantage of the cooler weather and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
