The cucumbers have become a high-frequency word in rural communities and agricultural businesses in many places. Not because of price increases, not because of new varieties, but because “can we plant it or not”. A lot of people have painted the weather forecast, and the first reaction has been hand itching; the next look at the neighborhood has planted seeds, and it has become even worse. The comment section is the loudest, but it's just one sentence: "is it too late?" but what really bothers people is the kind of memory that has been in the past few years of “following up, turning over the car” and many people with drums in their hearts。
This happens every year at the end of march and the beginning of april. The old saying, “beave the beans before and after the rain,” is that the weather is long gone. Some years are like early summer and some years are worse. In reality, too many people have suffered this loss: looking at the weather a few days ago, holding on to the seeds, and it turns out that it's cold, and it freezes. Seed money is a small matter, it takes a long time to catch up. It's not a technical matter. It's a weather mess。
A mistake that many people can easily make is to see only the day temperature. It's over 20 degrees at noon. But the cucumbers are afraid of the fact that it's hot during the day and cold at night. We've both been through it. Wearing our clothes during the day and turning the cotton out at night. The seedlings in the ground are even worse. In reality, the test of whether or not to grow is two things: the warmth of the earth and the warmth of the night. The coldness of the touch of the ground suggests that the temperature is not warm enough, and the temperature hovers at night in single digits, even if it warms up during the day。
And there's a state of the earth that is often overlooked. It's not that it's unfrozen, it's wet, it's seeding. The ground is too wet and the seeds are suffocated; the ground is too dry to suck water or seed. Many of the country's villages are aware of the fact that the rains are sorely broadcast that the result is a patch that cannot grow; and that when the seeds are replaced, the time is lengthened. It's better to wait for love to be “just right” and to grab a piece of dirt that's loose and warm in hand, and it's only then that it's ready to grow。
So if you really want to give a "conservative" reference, remember the bottom line: at night, the lowest temperature is stabilized at 8 to 10 degrees, and the temperature is standing at around 15 degrees. In most places, it often waits for mid-april or even early may. A few days later does not amount to a reduction in production, and the cucumbers are growing fast at the end of the day; it will be hard to make up later if the seedlings are taken away from them. The question is, is this year warmer, do you think? If it were you, what would it be
