This vegetable, artichoke, eats its receptacle, that is, picks its flowers and buys its flowers. This is the sales period of about two months in a year. A plant can have seven or eight buds, each weighing about a catty. But it will take several years to blossom, then it will bloom every year, and it will begin to decline after four or five years, so the planting cost is actually very high, but the yield is not high.
Artichoke, a vegetable, is usually used to make western food or canned food. In China, everyone is used to eating Chinese food, and will use multiple processes such as frying, frying and frying to cook. However, artichokes are generally western-style, which does not conform to the eating habits of Chinese people, so the market demand is not great. Moreover, most of them are picked and processed into cans abroad, and there are no factories in this field in China, so the market demand is obviously small, and it is difficult to form large-scale planting.
Planting method of artichoke
Artichoke seeds should be treated before sowing. Because the seed coat is thick and hard, the seeds should be soaked in warm water for a few minutes, then wrapped in cotton cloth and placed in a temperature environment to germinate naturally.
Don't worry, the seeds won't germinate until they are buried. Artichokes soaked in water and wrapped in cotton cloth will not die. Will germinate, pay attention to the most appropriate temperature, 20℃ should not be too high or too low.
After the buds of artichokes develop, they are divided into plants and planted in the soil. Water the soil on the spot after planting, and don't let the soil dry. Cover the soil with a plastic film to keep the temperature of the soil. The transplanting time is 10 ~ 1 1 month, and the transplanting method should be single ridge with wide and narrow rows and high moisture content. Wide row 1.4m and narrow row 1m are enough.
