Although Xiaoshu means "the weather is not very hot", some extreme temperatures often occur during Xiaoshu. Since then, most areas have entered the hottest period of the year. At this time, the plum rain is about to end, midsummer begins, the temperature rises, and enters the drought period. At the same time, heavy rains often occur during the Xiaoshu solar term. Therefore, during the Slight Heat period, we can choose a few days of suitable weather to plant some crops we like to eat.

The first type, Xia Fei’s green stem vegetables

Xia Fei’s green stem vegetables can often be seen on our dining table. The biggest advantage of this vegetable is that it is extremely resistant to high temperatures and has a high yield. It has the characteristics of heat resistance, moisture resistance and strong disease resistance. It is not easy to elongate the internodes at high temperatures, so it is a good cultivar. After the mild summer heat, the hot summer does not affect its growth rate, and it is not prone to diseases such as calcium deficiency. Whether planted directly or transplanted, they will grow well. Therefore, this dish is very suitable for people who want to grow vegetables at home.

The second type of cherry tomatoes

Our favorite is the small persimmon "cherry tomato", which has extremely high nutritional value. Small tomatoes can be used as both vegetables and fruits. It is recommended here to choose the tomato variety "Red Saint" from the cherry tomatoes. It has strong heat resistance and can bloom at temperatures of 35-36 degrees. It also has good disease resistance. July is a more suitable sowing period. It is also very suitable for planting on the balcony. Remember to water more often. Legend has it that eating more can turn you white.

The third type of pumpkin

Pumpkin is very friendly to people who want to lose weight. As the saying goes, you will reap melons if you sow melons. It will be too late to plant watermelons in summer. Planting some pumpkins at this time is a good choice. Compared with yellow wolf pumpkin and honey pumpkin, choosing Beibei pumpkin is a good option in summer. First of all, the melon is small, looks like the kind that everyone likes, and weighs only 350-400 grams. However, the fruiting rate is no worse than others, with about 15 fruits per plant. A cash crop that can be sold at a good price.
