Time's fast, 2025 is over. The year 2026 has come, isn't the year when friends who grow vegetables look on the balcony and the empty dirt in the yard, scratching their hearts again? When new year's day is over, don't look cold, but the sun is starting to move. It's time to do it, pick the right food, and then you can taste it first. This first-year planting arrangement, 2026, is different from the north to the south and does so in a way that saves the effort to grow vegetables。
I. The south region: holding around winter and checking around
At this time, the final golden planting period of the sheaves is now before spring. At this point, the cold and small insects grow spinach, cabbage, gravy, so sweet and sweet。
Critical operations:
• seed treatment: spinach seeds are broadcast again for four hours with warm water bubbles; the husk of the scavenging seeds is strong, softly ploughed and immersed for six to eight hours, which can significantly increase the sprouts。
:: soil fertilisation: 30 to 40 per cent of decomposed organic fertilizers (e. G., goat dung, soybean fertilizers) are mixed in the garden soil, or the daily accumulation of decomposed, decomposed rice slag, sufficient bottom fertilizers and little need to be followed in the long run。
• connecting scheme: while the leaves are now available, the preparation of the spring tomatoes, eggplants and peppers can also begin. Feeding indoors or wind-to-lights, using small basins or nursery boxes, until the end of february and early march, when the weather stabilizes. As a result, fruit seedlings are connected and the land is not idle。
Ii. Minuta zone: indoor seedling start-up, outdoor seeding festival gas
In henan, shandong, anhui and jiangsu areas, frost is still in the winter. At this point, a "battle-plant preview" can be carried out either indoor or closed on the balcony。
Specific approaches:
• a balcony plant with foam boxes, old flower pots, lax soil, spinach, spices, cherry carrot seeds. Fill it up, put it in the best place in the sun. After seeding, and at the time, the seedlings are prevented from growing into soybean sprouts. This is both production and training for spring daejeon。
:: outdoor timing: extensive outdoor seeding must take place at such a time as to be durable. Reference is made to the fact that on 5 april 2026, warm crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and bean horns are best scheduled before and after the light. Otherwise, a “spring-down” could damage the seedlings and delay a month. Around the spring break in march, relatively cold-resistant oil, lettuce and peas can be broadcast live。
• common error zones: many newcomers are eager to deliver, sowing in the presence of warm weather days, which is the main reason for the failure of early spring planting in china. Bearing in mind that “stable” is more important than “early”。
Iii. North zone: inside institutions and results
Outside soil remains unfrozen in the north-east, the interior and xinjiang. The main planting grounds are on the interior windowsill。
Recommended projects:
• sprouts: radish seedlings, pea seedlings, fragrance seedlings, etc. Prepare shallow discs or baskets with wet nursery paper or gauze, evenly spread, kept wet and sprayed daily. Without soil and fertilizers, seeds grow on their own nutrients and can be harvested for 15-20 days in fresh and safe conditions。
• garlic seedlings: scrambling of home-grown garlic petals into flower-basin soil, watering and placing in the sun. Only green leaves are cut at the time of eating, and they continue to grow second, the best source of spices in the winter。
• outdoor programmes: open gardens in the north usually wait until summer in may, when temperatures are above 15°c and the main summer forces such as tomatoes, cucumbers and beans are grown. The long-term calculation ensures that the harvest is completed before the frost at the end of september to early october。
Iv. Growing a new year. Please go around these pits
In any area where you started planting after new year's day, the following should be noted:
1. Time reference: calendar dates are only a rough reference, and sowing is dependent on local temperature and air conservancy. In particular, the node of “cleaning up” is crucial for the middle east and the north。
Varieties selection: “early ripe” species if you want to eat early; “medium and late” species if you want to harvest long and high. See the instructions when buying seeds。
3. Seen seeding: see weather forecasts for the coming week before seeding. Avoid planting before heavy or continuous rainfall, otherwise seeds are perishable in wet and cold soils。
4. New proposal: start with spinach, cabbage, cherry carrots, fragrances. They are less demanding, grow fast, have fewer pests and diseases, and are easy to build confidence。
Ladies and gentlemen, the vegetable season of 2026 began quietly after the new year. It does not have to start with a large-scale flooring, at which point it could be just a plate of garlic on the window table or a box of spinach in the corner of the balcony. This start is easier and more sure. When you look at this green and grow in winter, the planting plan of spring becomes clear and concrete in this expectation。
