What crops are planted in the rainy season?

At the beginning of spring, in the rainy season, cauliflower and spinach can be planted, and at the vernal equinox, zucchini can be planted.

Spinach Spinach is rich in nutrition. It is a typical cold-loving vegetable. Seeds are difficult to germinate when the temperature is too low, and flowers are easy to bloom when the temperature is too high. The optimum growth temperature is 15 ~ 22℃, which is very suitable for sowing after rain and saving solar terms. The cultivation of spinach is very simple. Before sowing, the seeds can be soaked in cold water for 12 hours to make the seed coat absorb water and soften, which can accelerate the emergence of seeds. When sowing, select soil with strong water and fertilizer conservation ability, apply fully decomposed farmyard manure, rake the soil evenly and finely, then scatter the seeds on the soil, rake the topsoil lightly with a toothed rake (so that the seeds are buried in the soil), and thoroughly irrigate the soil.

Special attention: As the old saying goes, "When spinach is gray, the first step is precious". Spinach likes weak alkaline soil environment. When planting spinach, applying plant ash can not only accelerate seed germination (loosen soil and raise soil temperature), but also adjust soil pH value. The minerals in plant ash can also provide nutrition for the growth of spinach, which is very beneficial for us to grow high-quality spinach. Spinach likes water during the growing period. When the water is sufficient, the leaves of spinach will grow thicker, so the spinach should be watered frequently during the growing period to keep the soil moist as much as possible.
