Growing vegetables in the yard in spring, the old man said, "Eggplants are widely planted and peppers are planted in the nest." What do you mean? Science?
Extensive cultivation of eggplant
Eggplant belongs to Solanum of Solanaceae, which is a kind of erect branched herb or sub-shrub. The fruit is long and round. It is often used to make vegetables, and it can also be used to make jiaozi, a kind of steamed stuffed bun. Eggplant can be braised in oil, braised in brown sauce, eggplant hot pot, and many other kinds. You can also chop eggplant, add salt and water, and make meat stuffing with raw meat and green onions for jiaozi to eat.
Eggplant is a kind of herb with erect branches, with large plants and crisp branches. Besides, I like plenty of sunshine very much. Once planted too densely, powdery mildew is easy to appear. In this case, it is not conducive to the growth of eggplant and the taste of eggplant. Moreover, because eggplant branches are brittle, it is easy to break the stems when we manage eggplant in the field.
It is precisely because of these characteristics that when we plant eggplant, we need to plant it far away, which can play a role in ventilation and light transmission, so that eggplant can grow better and taste better, which is what we often call "eggplant wide planting".
In fact, in addition to the extensive planting of eggplant, in order to keep the eggplant stalks from breaking, we can also set up shelves for eggplant during the growing period. After this fixation, the eggplant will grow up and the stem will not break.
Eggplant belongs to shallow-rooted plants. Once the eggplant grows, it is easy to lodging when the wind blows. After the eggplant is put on the shelves, these situations can be effectively avoided.
Hot pepper nest planting
Pepper belongs to the genus Capsicum of Solanaceae, which is an annual or limited perennial plant. There are many kinds of peppers, including long peppers or round peppers and morning peppers. Pepper plants are compact and suitable for dense planting. If it is planted too thinly, it is not conducive to the ridge sealing of peppers, the second is not conducive to the growth of peppers, and the third is that it is easy to get sunburned in summer. It is precisely because of these that there is an old saying that "a nest of peppers is planted". So how exactly do you grow peppers?
When planting peppers, you need to plant them on the ridge first, because peppers grow a lot, and once it is windy, it is easy to lodging. After ridging, peppers are buried deeper and are not prone to lodging in the wind. When the pepper grows to about 30 cm, we need to seal the ridge, which is also to reduce the lodging of the pepper. Also, this will help the root system of pepper grow stronger. There is also a relatively dense pepper planting, so that the land where peppers are planted will be easier to get wet and the temperature change will be relatively small. After the heavy rain, there will be less strong sunlight and fewer snakes, which is still very beneficial to the growth of pepper. When we plant peppers, we can plant three plants in a nest, with a spacing of about 25 to 30 cm and a row spacing of about 50 to 60 cm. We can also have some large and small ridges appropriately, which is more convenient to manage.
Write it at the end
Tomorrow is the vernal equinox. In many places in southern China, the temperature has reached 20 degrees. In this case, it is already very suitable for growing vegetables. Many friends with small yards also like to grow some vegetables in their own small yards. When growing vegetables, there is an old saying, "Eggplants are widely planted, and peppers are planted in nests." These two old sayings are still very reasonable, and they also have certain scientific reasons. So when we plant eggplant and pepper, we need to pay attention, so that the eggplant and pepper we grow can grow better and grow more.
