Preface to the opening: In early spring, with the arrival of the rainy season, the lazy vegetable of leeks has gradually awakened, and the management of spring leeks is often ignored by people, but it is the key to the quality of spring leeks. In the process of managing spring leeks, there are four "nos" that are crucial, and we will ** how to do these four "nos" to make the quality of leeks more excellent, and add delicious taste to spring vegetables.
1. Don't rush to water: After the rainy season, the spring rainfall increases, and many farmers may rush to water the spring leeks in the hope of promoting the growth of leeks, but this practice is actually not wise. In early spring, cold air strikes frequently, the surface temperature is low, and watering will aggravate the low temperature, which is not conducive to the growth and development of spring leeks. At this time, the spring leek has just woken up, the root system has not fully regained its vitality, and watering too early may cause damage to the roots and affect growth, while the water vapor from the winter snow melt is enough to moisten the growth of the spring leek, so it is not advisable to rush to water.
Expanding: In the early morning of spring, the breeze blows, the spring leeks quietly wake up under the moisture of the rain, and the tender green leaves are crystal clear with the dew. Farmers may feel the urge to water and make this green more vibrant, but the spring leeks are still slowly adapting to the warmth of spring, so it is not advisable to disturb their quiet time too early. The winter cold has not completely left, and spring leeks need to slowly awaken their growth power, and giving them too much water at this moment will be counterproductive. Therefore, do not rush to water, let the spring leeks feel the warmth of the earth on their own and grow quietly.
2. Don't rush to fertilize: Spring fertilization is not necessary for the growth of leeks. Spring leeks have absorbed sufficient nutrients during the overwintering process, and early fertilization may lead to harvesting before the fertilizer is fully absorbed, affecting the quality of spring leeks. At this time, the nutrients of leeks mainly come from their own stored nutrients, and premature fertilization may bring waste, and the degradation of farmhouse fertilizer also takes time, so it is not suitable to use it too early in spring. Therefore, in the early stage of spring leeks, do not rush to fertilize and let spring leeks grow naturally and present the best taste and texture.
Expanding: The spring sun shines through the thin clouds on the fields, and the spring leeks quietly reveal the vitality of early spring in the land. Some growers may think of adding a little fertilizer to the greens to make them grow more vigorously, but they don't necessarily know that doing so can backfire. Spring leeks are well nourished during the long winter and do not need additional fertiliser at the moment. Rather than rushing to fertilize, it is better to let the spring leeks absorb the nutrients in the soil on their own and grow slowly, showing a more natural and healthy emerald green color.
3. Don't rush to remove the roots: The root system of leeks is the main reproductive organ, but in spring management, there is no need to rush to remove the root system. At this time, the root system of spring leeks is still dormant, and there will be no problems such as aging, diseases and pests for the time being, so there is no need to remove the roots prematurely. Only when the roots of the leeks show problems after proper growth in spring, it is necessary to remove them in time to maintain the growth vitality of the spring leeks.
Expanding: In spring, the earth rejuvenates, and the leeks begin to show their vigor after waiting for a winter, with their strong leaves swaying lightly around the rhizomes. Although the root system is the "lifeblood" of leeks, in the early spring, there is no need to pay too much attention to the problem of root picking. Spring leeks spend the cold time in hibernation, and the roots are not damaged much, so there are no root problems. Wait until the spring leeks grow steadily, and then remove the roots in a timely manner, so that the leeks can better absorb nutrients and thrive.
Fourth, don't rush to cultivate the soil: leeks will have the characteristics of upward growth in the process of growth, but there is no need to rush to cultivate the soil in spring. When the spring leek has just woken up, the root system has not yet been completely tillered, and soil cultivation will affect the absorption of nutrients by the root system, which is not conducive to the normal growth of spring leek. Therefore, in the early spring, do not rush to cultivate the soil and let the spring leeks grow naturally and show the best taste and quality.
Expanding: The spring sun shines on the golden wheat fields, and the breeze brings a touch of refreshment. Spring leeks thrive in the fields, revealing a vibrant atmosphere. Some people may think of adding some soil to this green area to help them grow more steadily, but at this moment the spring leeks are not yet ready to be cultivated. In the early growth stage of spring leeks, the root system has not yet fully developed, and too early soil cultivation may hinder the normal development of the root system, but affect the overall growth, so do not cultivate the soil too early and let the spring leeks thrive in their natural state.
Summary: When managing leeks in the spring of the rainy season, do not rush to water, fertilize, remove roots and cultivate soil, these four "nos" are the key. Only on the basis of stable growth can the quality of spring leeks be guaranteed, so that this spring delicacy can be fully displayed. In getting along with spring leeks, we need to learn to respect the growth laws of plants and give them just the right amount of care, so that we can finally taste delicious spring vegetables. May we feel the beauty and gifts of nature in the company of spring leeks.
