Now that beginning of winter has passed, the weather is getting colder every day. How are your flowers and plants? Many people can't wait to move the flowers and plants out of the room. While protecting flowers and plants, don't let idle space outside be wasted. If you don't know what to do, you might as well try to grow vegetables in a foam box and choose some freeze-resistant vegetable varieties, which can beautify the environment and meet the food needs of your family.
The following vegetables are very resistant to freezing and can be used as the first choice. Let's see what vegetables they are.
First, radish, frozen radish is long.
Radish is also an important member of the vegetable market, with excellent cold tolerance. If you plant it in autumn, you can eat fresh radish within two months.
There are many kinds of radishes. Besides the common white radish and carrot, there are some delicious fruit radishes. Conditional partners can plant more radishes and let their families eat all kinds of radishes.
And as long as the temperature is above zero in winter, radish will not be frostbitten. As the saying goes, frozen radish grows in the ground. The colder the weather, the better the radish grows. Don't worry about the radish freezing to death.
Second, you can eat leeks in winter.
Leek is a vegetable that is neither afraid of cold nor heat, but in comparison, leek planted in winter tastes better, because the temperature difference between day and night is large in this season, and the quality of leek will be improved a lot.
The growth cycle of leeks is very short, and now you can eat fresh leeks within one month after planting.
If you have a small yard at home, you can plant a little everywhere and eat it once a month. If it is too cold in winter, just cover it with a plastic film, and you can still eat fresh leeks in snowy days. If you have a balcony with good lighting, you can plant it in a flowerpot and eat it at any time, once a year. How convenient.
Third, Chinese cabbage, a dish stored in winter.
As far as cold tolerance is concerned, no vegetable can compare with Chinese cabbage.
For northern partners, Chinese cabbage is the staple food in winter, especially in the era of economic depression, the whole family almost relies on stored Chinese cabbage for winter.
Chinese cabbage likes cool environment very much and has poor heat resistance. Never plant in high temperature season, because the incidence rate is high, which affects the quality and yield of Chinese cabbage.
Comparatively speaking, autumn is the most suitable for planting Chinese cabbage. If you plant it, you can eat it in two months. As long as the ambient temperature is above MINUS 3℃, there will be no problem in the growth of Chinese cabbage.
If you have a balcony at home, get a foam box to grow some, and you can eat fresh cabbage in snowy days.
Fourth, you can eat spinach in snowy days.
Spinach is also very cold-resistant, and it is a frequent visitor on the table in winter. As long as the ambient temperature is above MINUS 4℃, plants can grow smoothly, so autumn and winter are very suitable for planting spinach.
And the growth cycle of spinach is very short. Now it only takes 1~2 months to eat fresh spinach. Don't worry about frostbite even in rainy and snowy weather.
Conditional partners can be various. If there is space on the balcony, get a big foam box to plant some, which can meet the food needs of family members at any time.
Five, coriander, not afraid of cold
Different from other vegetables, the main function of coriander is seasoning. Adding coriander to soup and vegetables will taste more delicious, so every family can't live without coriander.
The cold tolerance of coriander is also very good. If you plant it in autumn and winter, you can eat it in a month or two. In addition, the price of coriander was more expensive years ago, so it would be more cost-effective to grow it yourself.
If the balcony is sunny, there is a big flowerpot to grow some, which is enough for the whole family.
These five vegetables have good taste, high nutrition and strong cold tolerance, and are the first choice for planting in autumn and winter.
Partners who like to grow at home can buy some rape in the market in advance, and then prepare a foam box, so that they can plant. What should I pay attention to when growing vegetables in foam boxes?
1, the size should be appropriate.
Before preparing the foam box, you need to measure the planting site. If you want to plant on the balcony, first measure the size of the balcony, make foam according to the size, and finally put the soil in, which is convenient and labor-saving.
Step 2 punch holes
Punching holes in the foam box can avoid water accumulation and make the roots of plants breathe smoothly.
If you plant vegetables with large water demand, the number of holes can be less, such as cabbage and spinach.
Step 3 pour in the soil
The soil only needs to account for 80% or 90% of the box, and it doesn't need to be too full.
Step 4 water before sowing
Watering before sowing is very helpful to the development of seeds.
Step 5 cover with thin soil
After sowing the seeds, remember to cover them with a layer of soil, not too thick, just to ensure that the seeds will not be blown away by the wind.
So that the seeds can come out quickly.
6. Cultivation environment
Vegetables have a high demand for light and must be planted in places with sufficient light. As long as the demand for light is met, fresh vegetables can be eaten within two months.
Can the foam box cultivate healthy vegetables? Many people think that foam boxes are made of chemicals, so the vegetables they grow are unhealthy. Actually, it's not. A professor once did an experiment. Even at high temperature, the raw materials for making the foam box will not emit substances harmful to human body, so you can use them with confidence.
