This article provides an explanation for netizens about what vegetables are suitable for planting during the Beginning of Winter. It discusses both the vegetables that can be planted at the Beginning of Winter and those that can be planted after the Beginning of Winter. The following is an introduction by the editor.
1. Lettuce is highly adaptable and easy to cultivate, with a short growing period and no strict requirements for harvest specifications. It can be sown in installments for year-round production and supply. Lettuce has the effects of clearing heat, calming the mind, soothing the liver and gallbladder, and nourishing the stomach. It is suitable for people with stomach diseases, those deficient in vitamin C, the obese and those trying to lose weight, those with high cholesterol, individuals with neuralgia, and patients with liver and gallbladder diseases. Consuming it raw or regularly can help women maintain a slim figure.
2. Radishes come in various types such as red, green, white, water radishes, and the beauty heart radishes. Radishes prefer cold and cool temperatures and are averse to high heat. They tend to bolt when planted in spring, so it's best to plant them in autumn. The leaves are susceptible to aphids and small white caterpillars, which can be prevented by covering them with gauze. Radishes contain amylase, which aids digestion; they also have a sweet and pungent taste, are cool in nature, and have the effects of reducing flatulence, calming asthma, stopping coughs, resolving phlegm, aiding digestion, reducing bloating, and clearing heat and toxins.
3. Green stem cabbage is a type of Pak Choi. It thrives in a moderately cool climate, with an optimal germination temperature of around 25°C. The higher the temperature within the range of 20-35°C, the faster the germination. The seedling stage is adaptable to a wide range of temperatures, with the optimal temperature for stem and leaf growth being 18-25°C. It enjoys sunlight but grows best in moderate light conditions as high light intensity can lead to high yield but poor quality. Moreover, green stem cabbage has the effects of dispelling heat and regulating the digestive system, so it is commonly used to alleviate hangovers and constipation. It is also high in calcium, making it an ideal vegetable for preventing vitamin D deficiency (rickets).
4. Garlic is a cold-tolerant plant that requires long-daylight hours. The suitable growth temperature is 18-20°C, with a requirement for a period of low temperature around 10°C for bolting and over 12 hours of daylight and high temperature for bulb formation. When temperatures exceed 26°C, the plant dies, and the bulb enters a dormant state. Garlic has disinfectant properties in our lives, can prevent influenza, and also has anti-cancer, antibacterial, and hypoglycemic effects, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
5. Broccoli is robust, heat and cold resistant, and rich in nutrients, including protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, and carotene. Its nutritional content ranks at the top among similar vegetables, earning it the title of "vegetable crown."
