Do we often grow green leaves in our homes: lettuce, which can be bitter in the summer, smoked, smutted and stingy; cabbage, which has to be protected against geishas, aphids, unmedicated insects, drugged and unsettled intoxicated in the later stages. Is it that hard to grow food that's not easy, that's good, that doesn't have to do medicine
This dish, which is presented to you today, completely avoids the disadvantages of lettuce and cabbage: taste is better than lettuce, growing is easier than cabbage, is born resistant to insects, is almost free of insects, is long enough to sow seeds, and once they are harvested, they fall in love, year after year. It's peacock, and it's called salad, crumbs, a popular lazy vegetable in recent years。
The following is a clear description of the characteristics of peacock vegetables and the main elements of their cultivation, in terms of taste, difficulty in planting, insect resistance, methods of planting and harvesting techniques. These are lessons learned from actual planting, and you can grow them easily after reading them。
I. Where's peacock? I'll tell you what
1. Taste: sweet and tasteless. Eat so much
Preparatory vegetables are characterized by freckles, but their taste is low, the heat is prone to suffering, and many elderly children do not like to eat; cabbage is soft, tedious and bitter。
Peacocks are different, with thick leaves, sweet and juicy bites, with no raw and no ordinary bitter tastes, with fresh and fresh fragrances, with fresh and fresh spices, with a hot pot that can't boil, and with salad. Home-made discs tend to be predisposed to meat, which are acceptable to the elderly and their children, without taste。
2. The difficulty of planting: better seeds than cabbage, better skin than raw vegetables, and better for lazy people
Vegetables must be prepared on the ground, raised, watered, protected against disease and insects every day, with little attention paid to the loss of production; raw vegetables must be managed in a manner that is warm and cold, high and low, soaked and soaked, and soaked and soaked。
Peacock is cold and hot, does not pick the soil, does not pick the environment: the south can grow in four seasons, the north can grow in spring and autumn, the north can grow in the balcony in winter, in front of the house, in small gardens, in foam boxes, in flower basins, so that the seeds can sow, and grow without seeding or planting, so that the new hands and the lazy can grow。
3. Insect resistance: biologically infertile, less drug-preventive and more free heart
That's the most convenient thing about peacock. Cabbage, lettuce, aphids, moths are the most popular, and are even more severe in the summer when the heat and humidity are high, and no pills are full of worm eyes, while pills are used to worry about pesticide residues。
Peacocks carry a slight special odour, pests are not close, they are grown almost unpregnantly and rarely ill, and the whole life is largely free of pesticides, sometimes with a small amount of aphids, can be dealt with with with hand-strangling or a little grass-grain water, and the plants are green and healthy, and they eat at home。
4. Fast growth and long harvests: more than 20 days to eat, more and more
Preparatory and cabbage are growing over a long period of time, and they can only be collected once. Peacocks grow fast and can be harvested 20-30 days after planting, and they are cut leaves: each time they remove large leaves from the outer layer, the heart leaves continue to grow, they can be eaten for months, they can grow once, and they don't buy green leaves for six months。
Ii. Basic characteristics and nutrition of peacock vegetables, with simple understanding and no step the pit
1. Diversity characteristics
Peacock, which belongs to the hernia, is the same as barley and lettuce, but leaves are thicker and lighter in colour and are shaped like peacock, so they are called peacock. There are two common varieties of green peacock and purple peacock on the market, which are green, green and warmer and more suitable in summer。
Nutritional values
Peacock is not only good, but also nutritious, rich in nutrients such as vitamin c, calcium, iron and food fibres, low calorie, more nutrients to keep alive and suitable for lipid reduction, the elderly and children。
Iii. I'll teach you how to grow peacock, from seed to harvest
1. Cultivation time: all four seasons per year, with spring and autumn most appropriate
- spring: march-may, temperature 15-25°c, the fastest-growing and most dynamic
- summer: june-august, pick purple peacock, which is more heat-resistant, properly shaded and avoids tan
- autumn: september-november, suitable temperatures, few pests and diseases, best taste
- winter: december-february, balconies in the north, open-air in the south, growing slowly but of good quality。
2. Soil preparation: land-free, air-reducing
Peacock vegetables are infertile and can be grown in ordinary gardens, but in order to grow quickly and with large leaves, the soil needs to be loosed, ventilated and drained well。
- planting: to pine the soil, to pick up the stone weeds, to sow some decomposed farm fats (rooster dung, goat dung) and tomping
- plantation: garden land + foliage + small amount of sand at 5:3:2, with no need to add too much fat to avoid burning。
3. Seeding methods: seeds are long, no seeding, super simple
Peacock seeds are small, so they can be distributed directly, without seeding or seeding:
1. The soil overflows with water, so that when it leaks, the seeds are spread evenly
Covering a thin layer of soil (0. 5-1 cm) not too thick or otherwise growing slowly
Water is poured again lightly and the soil is kept humid so that seedlings can occur three to five days。
- ground planting: 10 to 15 cm in range, seedlings spread after planting, 5 to 8 cm in range
- battery plant: soak it up, then pull it out and keep it strong。
4. Day-to-day management: 3 points is enough
(1) watering: wet and dry
Peacock vegetables are drought-resistant and flood-resistant, and the soil surfaces are dried up and then soaked, with no more rain or water, or they are prone to rotting roots. At high summer temperatures, water is watered early and late to avoid midday; it is less or less watered in the rain, and it is drained in time。
(2) fertilization: less hard work, less fat
If you're fat, you don't have to put more fertilization in the long run. If the leaves are yellow and weak, if they are fertilized with thin, rotting farm fats, or if there is a small amount of urea, once for 10-15 days, do not apply strong fats to avoid burning roots。
(3) light: sufficient light, suitable shade in summer
Peacock foods are radiant, with 4-6 hours of light per day, and light is thick and good for the leaves; in the summer, when the heat is high, the shade is properly covered to avoid the sunburning and suffering of the leaves。
(4) pests and pests: almost clean and occasionally simple
As stated earlier, peacock vegetables are rarely infested with aphids, mainly for aphids: they are found with small amounts of aphids on the back of the leaf, they are squeezed off with their hands, or they spray some grass, grey water, pepper water, and no pesticides; they occasionally have frosts when they are hot and wet, they are ventilated in a timely manner, they control water, and they spray low-intensity microbicides when they are severe (as far as possible)。
5. Harvesting techniques: leaf cutting, more and more
After 20-30 days of planting, leaves can be collected as long as 15-20 cm tall and 5-6 large leaves:
- first: removal of two or three large leaves from the outer layer, bearing in mind the heart and the small leaves
- follow-up: pick every 5-7 days, only big, old, small, young
- note: don't pull the whole thing. The leaf cut-off can keep it growing and eating for months。
Iv. Equipment and difficultity of packle betters, beaughters
Advantages
1. Tastes good: sweetness without taste, eating too much and eating too much for the family
2. Good planting: cold-resistant, soil-free, seed-spreading and management
3. Strong insect resistance: natural infertile, less drug use and green health
4. Long harvests: fast growth, leaf cutting, one by one, high production。
Insufficient
1. During high summer temperatures: green peacock cane cane cane cane cane cane cane cane cane cane cane cane
2. Slow winter growth: unplantable open winter in the north and pottery plants
Leaf thin: irresistence of long-distance transport suitable for home-grown and home-grown consumption。
V. Common question answers, new growers without stepping the pit
1. What is the difference between peacock and wheat
Peacock leaves are thicker and sweeter, and are shaped like peacocks; wheat leaves are long and tasted bitterly, and are less resistant to peacock。
2. Do peacock vegetables require seedling transfer
No, it's just a direct broadcast, but it's easy to get roots and grow slowly。
Can peacock vegetables be mixed with other species
Yes, mixed with cabbage, licorice, garlic, can deworm each other and grow better。
Can you eat peacock
The leaf is old and bitter when it's smoked. It's not recommended to eat. It can be strangled and it can continue to grow。
Vi. Conclusion: pearfruit, food, health, worth a try
Growing green leaves, you don't have to die of scabs and cabbage. Peacocks combine the three advantages of good taste, easy to grow, and resistant to insects, so that seeds can be cast long, coarsely managed, harvest long, whether in small courtyards or on the balcony。
Peacock is the best option for people who want fresh vegetables, who don't want to manage them, who fear pesticide residues, to grow in love once a year。
