A must-have for winter?Are these crops really indispensable because they are extremely hardy?
Chinese cabbage grown in a cool environment.
Cabbage is a very cool vegetable that grows in the southern coastal areas. The suitable growing temperature is 15-20 degrees Celsius, which is just right for winter. The growth time of cabbage is slightly longer, about 60 days. In addition, cabbage is a cruciferous family and is highly susceptible to pests. In order to ensure the high yield of Chinese cabbage, it is generally covered with an insect net to prevent the invasion of pests.
In addition, cabbage is crunchy to the touch, fresh in taste, and rich in minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, and iron. This product has the effects of improving immunity, promoting calcium absorption, preventing anemia, and enhancing immunity. Therefore, growing cabbage not only makes us comfortable in winter, but also good for our body.
Wasabi - a good assistant who is not immune to cold air.
In the southern coastal areas, people eat mustard leaves in autumn and winter. Not only can it tolerate extremely low temperatures, but it can also grow normally even in a low temperature environment below 5. However, mustard greens are more susceptible to pest infestation. When we grow mustard greens, we usually sprinkle some ash on them or use water made with baking soda to prevent the growth of pests. In addition, the establishment of a pest-proof arch greenhouse can better control pests.
Mustard greens are also rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, iron and other nutrients. It has the effect of boosting immunity and enhancing bone health. Therefore, growing mustard greens can not only withstand the cold weather, but also help our bodies stay healthy.
Lettuce - a refreshing moment in winter.
We plant some lettuce every year, especially in the fall and winter. Although lettuce is not as cold tolerant as cabbage and kale, in the southern coastal zone in winter, even if it encounters a cold snap, it will not cause much harm to them. Due to the current average daily temperature of 15-20 degrees Celsius, it is very suitable for the growth of lettuce. In addition, since lettuce grows relatively quickly, it can be harvested in about 30 days, so it is also a good harvest in cold weather.
Lettuce is a vegetable rich in vitamin C and vitamin K, which has the effect of improving immunity and protecting cardiovascular health. In addition, lettuce is rich in fiber, which can stimulate the peristalsis of the stomach, which has a good effect on improving digestion and stool, and can also prevent constipation. Therefore, growing lettuce can not only keep you cold, but also make you feel fresh and tasty, and keep you healthy.
Spinach - small green leaves in winter.
Spinach is a very cool plant, and it grows well in the cold southern coastal areas during the winter. Spinach needs a low temperature, 15-20 degrees Celsius for its suitable growing environment. In addition, the minimum temperature here in winter is only 5 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for the growth of spinach. In addition, because the temperature is low, there are not many pests, so the growing conditions for spinach will also be better.
Spinach is rich in vitamins and minerals. These vegetables have the effects of protecting eyesight, improving immunity, and promoting blood circulation. In addition, spinach also contains a lot of iron, which can prevent anemia to a certain extent. Therefore, whether it is in terms of nutrients or from the weather conditions in winter, it is very suitable to grow spinach.
Coriander – a refreshing winter dish.
Coriander likes coolness and is suitable for temperatures between 15-20 degrees Celsius. In the southern coastal zone, in winter, the temperature of the day is like this, which is very suitable for growing coriander. Although the sunlight is a little heavy occasionally, it does not affect the growth of coriander. However, due to the limited number of coriander leaves in our house, as soon as the cold air came, we set up greenhouses and covered them with insulated greenhouses to protect them from diseases and diseases.
Coriander has a high nutritional value. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and various minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, etc. The main functions of coriander are to help digestion, lower cholesterol, inhibit inflammation, improve immunity, and improve liver function. Therefore, planting some coriander in winter can not only conform to the season, but also bring a lot of fun to our taste and body.
The conclusion is that the southern coastal zone is not very cold in winter, but some plants are not suitable for growth. However, plants that prefer coolness can fully show their advantages in winter. Kale, mustard greens, lettuce, spinach and coriander leaves are all suitable for growing in winter. These plants can not only adapt to the cold winter, but also contain a lot of nutrients, which has the function of health care and improving immunity. Whether it's to satisfy your taste or for your health and wellness, you should grow a variety of these vegetables. In winter, let's enjoy this nutritious meal together!
