Recently, continuous snowfall in Qingdao City. On February 21, in a strawberry plantation in Xiazhuang Street, Hao Jianpeng and workers were busy clearing 10 centimeters of snow from the shed. The thick snow cover prevented the quilt covering the greenhouse from being rolled up, which caused the strawberries in the greenhouse to lack light and affected the growth.
Hao Jianpeng told reporters that he has been planting strawberries in Xiazhuang Street, Qingdao for more than 25 years, and currently has 5 acres of strawberry greenhouses. However, this year's weather conditions were beyond his expectations, and it was the first time in more than 20 years that he had seen such a long and heavy snowfall. The heavy snowfall had a huge impact on strawberry sales, which in recent days have decreased by 70% compared to normal days before the snowfall due to factors such as traffic and the market after the snowfall.
Workers clear the snow from the roof of a strawberry shed.
Due to the lack of sunlight and low temperature of strawberries in recent days, although the growth of strawberries has been slowed down, due to the decline in sales, Hao Jianpeng just used ventilation and temperature control to delay the ripening of strawberries, so as to delay the picking period of strawberries for 3 to 5 days in this way, so as to solve the problem that the picked strawberries are not easy to store. Hao Jianpeng said that if there is no more heavy snowfall in the near future, they can resume production in time, it will not cause much damage.
