Hello, i'll bring you up to date every day. I'll take care of everything
For decades in the countryside, the silkmelon is the usual food i grow every year. It tastes sweet, eats a variety of foods, is good for fried meat, soup, evaporation, and has a particularly long sheath period, which has been available since early summer. But friends with a variety of dishes have the same problem: the guacamole is particularly strong, with leaves crawling over the shelf and looking at the glamorous, i. E. Not cucumbers, or cucumbers, which are easy to cucumber, with few harvests for months。
I've been growing silk melons in my garden for 40 years, and i've only started with seeds to water, and i've been searching and trying again and again, and i've come up with six really stupid ways to grow. The absence of complex professional techniques and the absence of expensive fertilizers are empirical experiences that are validated annually. As long as it is managed according to these methods, the guacamole will not grow or grow, the branches will grow rationally, the flowers will grow large, a vine will hang full of melons, and the fruit will last for three or four months, and it will not be enough to eat at all, and it will also be able to dry its friends and friends. Today, this civilianized guacamole-growing technique is fully shared, and can be used in small courtyards, pellets and balcony cultivation。
I. Choosing the planting time is the basis of guando
The first step was to miss the planting time. The silk melon is a typical hot and hot crop that sows when it is cold, cold and unstable, either with low seedlings or with weak seedlings, and with no capacity to rise later。
A large number of farmers are sorely seeded at the start of the spring and are down in early march, seemingly fast, with many risks. Early springs and evenings are characterized by high temperatures, freezing of the seedlings at night, stagnation of the pre-plant growth, and long and long leaves. There are also those who sow too late, with hot and strong light in the middle of summer, with chrysanthemum sprouts blocked, prone to falling flowers, and a half-term reduction of the pickle period。
Taking into account 40 years of planting experience, the best time for open-air guacamole cultivation is after clarity until early may. During this period, temperatures have stabilized at more than 15°c in most parts of the country, and the temperature is suitable for seed gerontization and root system growth. The seedlings have grown strong, with deep roots and a high capacity for fattening. The seedlings grow steadily over a period of one to two months, just in time for the temperature suitable for flower pickers in the early summer, with the best chromosomal quality and a significant rise in sit-in rates。
In the case of balconies and sheds, planting can be done well in advance until mid-march, so as to keep warm. It is also important to remind you that silkmelons must not be replanted. In the same vegetable field, the continuous planting of silkmelons, the accumulation of soil disease bacteria and the absence of trace elements can lead to the weakening of vines and vines, the high incidence of disease and the low number of sitting melons. The difference of more than one year between recommendations and cabbage, lettuce and garlic vegetable rotations is key to low-cost production growth。
There is also a small technique for sowing, with the guacamole seed shell hardened, with slow and poorly grown direct dry sowing. A 4-6 hour leaching seed from warm water at around 30°c before seeding takes place, extracts the leachate, places it in a wet sabri-breed, sows it after white, can produce more than 98% seedlings, and the seedlings are well organized and later managed with more care。
Ii. Controls are not blind, only vines do not control buds, and the leaves do not congee
The silk melon is born with fast growth, and many newcomers are blindly triming, strangling, and finally cutting the melon. There are also those who cannot afford to cut, let the vines climb and long branches, and all nutrients grow with leaves, and there is no surplus of nutrients, which is commonly referred to as the “breeds of the sky”。
For 40 years, i planted silk melons to find a precise method of control: pre-planting the main vine, medium-term control of the side vine, post-precise branches, uncut, uncut, precise distribution of nutrients。
The guacamole is grown up to four to six real leaves and vines within 50 centimetres of length, and no trimmed. This stage is a critical period for root growth, with multiple leaves allowing for photocosynthesis and the accumulation of nutrient roots, which are well developed and can be sustained only in the later stages。
When the main vine was up to 1. 2 to 1. 5 metres, it began to build a melon to guide the vines up. At this point, the first control began, and all sprouts, branches and rolls below 50 centimetres of the ground must be removed. The subsides are close to the ground, with poor ventilation, which tends to breed dust and frost, and consumes large amounts of bottom nutrients, all of which are grown upwards with the main vine。
The main dove climbs up to two metres or more and, when it enters its prime age, adjusts the cut. At the top of the main vine, keep the growth point and continue to extend upwards to ensure that the flowers continue to bloom at a later stage. In the case of the upper-middle branch, not all the branches are removed, and the principle of weakness is followed: the thick, flower-bearing branch is preserved, and the small, proficient, flower-free branch is cut off。
The most critical point is that the filament rolls must be removed manually. The only function of the shaving is to climb, but it can continue to consume large amounts of nutrients. The fixed position of artificially bound vines, instead of rollers, saves large amounts of nutrients, all of which feed buds and guacamole growth, a move that can be significantly doubled。
Many people grow later guacamole, which is messy and leaves closed, because they can't afford to cut their branches and leave extra swigs. After reasonable control, the vines are ventilated and the nutrients are concentrated in the provision of flowers, and naturally there are no long leaves without melons。
Iii. Phasing water in stages, dry and wet to avoid falling melons and decaying roots
The silkmelon is wet, but the water is the most basic and the most prone to error. Many people grow their vegetables, either daily inundated or chronically dry, and both methods of watering lead to a significant reduction in the production of silkmelons。
The prolonged accumulation of water results in a lack of oxygen in the soil, a lack of oxygen in the filamental roots, a loss of capacity to absorb nutrients, a slow yellowing, atrophy of the vines and the loss of all the larvae; and a prolonged drought leads to the drying of the buds, the failure of pollination, the smallness of the melon, the bitterness of the mouth and a significant decline in quality。
Based on the different stages of the growth of the silk melon, i've come up with an accurate water-watering programme, which is dry and wet throughout the course, with the roots intact and the vines intact。
Precipice (pre-planting): less water dry
The seedling age is shallow and weak, and the water is watered with “dry and wet”. The surface of the soil is drained and rewatered, so that the water is not so frequent. Dry soils force the roots down deep, develop the root systems and avoid the weakness of the seedlings. Water must be drained in a timely manner during the rainy season, and land parcels must never accumulate。
Chicken stretch (crawl before flowering): moderate recharge
During the fast growing stage of the vines, the amount of water is increased and the soil is kept micro-humid. 7-10 days of perforation to meet the growth needs of the branches, while avoiding excessive moisture leading to the emergence of the mad elders。
Vegetable season (all the way to flowering guacamole): damp and drying
This is the critical period when the greatest amount of water is required for the melon, and the moisture directly determines the rate of sit-in and the rate of expansion of the melon. The summer temperature is high and the water evaporates rapidly, water is poured every three to five days, and the timing of the water is chosen in the morning or evening, avoiding high-temperature water and preventing the temperature from exceeding the roots of the wounds。
The focus here is on the pollination period for silk melons, and not to spray flowers and cucumbers. Water beads wash pollen and jam flowers, leading to the failure of pollination and the emergence of large numbers of deformed and flowered melons. The water is watering only the root soil, avoiding the leaves and flowers。
During the rainy season, drainage must be done and plots must rise early to avoid the accumulation of roots. As long as the water is managed, the melon is largely free of physico-deprivation and the stability of the melon is significantly increased。
Iv. Fertilization is regulated, in three stages, with no shortage of fat and no burning
The high volume and long duration of the leachate is a high consumption of fertilized vegetables, but the application of fertilizers is definitely not as good. Many friends applied large quantities of fertilizers and fertilizers at once, which eventually led to burning leaves and early decay of vines, which instead reduced production。
The experience of 40 years of cultivation has shown that fertilization in filament can only take place at three core stages of the period of seeding, flowering and expansion, supported by organic fertilizers, fertilizer and hard work, a balance of nutrients that is not wasted, and strong vines and fruit。
Phase i: root fattening in the nursery season (predominantly)
Pre-plantation, deep-tilled soil, bottom fattening. Bottom-fat is the first choice for decomposition farmers, sheep, chicken dung and composting, all of which can be ploughed to the ground floor. Corrosed organic fertilizers are mild and persistent, so as to defusing the soil, root protection and avoid later soil slabs. The bottom is full, the seedlings are evenly grown, and they do not need to pursue fat more often. It is forbidden to use raw fertilizers, which are fermented in the soil, which burn roots and breed eggs。
Phase two: chicken-spreading fertilizer
The vines crawled over the shelf and were about to bloom, making their first fat chase. There is a need to supplement the balanced fertilizer of nitrogen phosphorus at this point in time and to promote the fracturing of flowers. Roots can be filled with decomposed water, with a small amount of complementary compound fat, and with a zero dose of nitrogen. Nitrogen fattening can lead to the wild growing of vines, with long leaves and no flowers, with all the pre-shipment control being wasted。
Phase iii: nuts and fertilizers
The melon sits first, starts to swell, enters a continuous fertilisation period, which is the key to the melon. At this point, the silk melon continues to bloom, and the melon continues to grow, and nutrient consumption is high。
Fattening is dominated by potassium phosphorus fertilizer, which is followed every 10 days. The phosphorus elements promote pollination and increase sitting rates; the potassium elements contribute to the expansion of the melon, allowing the melon to grow straight and large and to taste sweet。
A combination of leaf-faced fertilizer, a diluted potassium phosphate solution sprayed in the evening, and fast-absorbing nutrients from the blades were effective in preventing the premature decay of vines and prolonging the hysteres. Many people grow silk melons and grow old, because of the lack of late fat and early decay, and the persistence of fertilizer can keep the melon from early summer until it falls。
Finally, it is important to remember that all fat pursuits are applied in a way that is 10 centimetres away from the roots and avoids direct exposure to the roots that results in burning seedlings。
V. Artificially assisted pollination to eliminate empty flowers and deformities
The silk melons are divided into males and females, and only females are able to form melons, and males are responsible for pollination. Insect activity has been reduced and pollination success has been significantly reduced, with a large number of flowering and cucumbering, while pollination rates are still good。
The filament melons that are grown on the balcony, closed to the balcony, without insect pollination, are almost impossible to form naturally, which is the central reason for many of the potted filament melons。
I have been growing for many years, and i have been insisting on utilisation of artificially assisted pollination, which is simple and cost-free and increases sit-in rates by more than 90 per cent。
Best time for pollination: from 7 to 10 a. M. Each day, the most pollinator-active and the best success rate。
Practical methods of operation: picking a fully open male, removing all petals, retaining only the mid-drills, gently rubling them on the head of the female column, evenly covering them. One male pollen is enough to pollute two to three females。
The method of distinguishing females and males is particularly simple, and the newcomers can tell the difference: the female has a small guacamole underneath the flower, the male has a bouquet, and there is no guacamole。
In addition, the number of guacamole males is particularly high, which can consume large amounts of nutrients. During the non-powdering period, some of the surplus male flowers can be removed on their own initiative, and a small number of male replacements can be retained, and all the nutrients saved are provided for female and larvae growth。
After three to five days of pollination, the guacamole expands rapidly, with little loss of melons, deformities, straightness, even size, and a better sense of merchandise and taste。
Vi. Timely extraction of + clean leaves, extension of the orchard period to achieve sustained high levels production
Many do not know that the timing of the pick-up of the melon directly determines total production. The silk melon is a growing crop in batches, with no old melons and no new melons. Many newcomers tend to try to make silkmelons grow older and pick them up, and as a result, mature old gourds hang on vines and vines will continue to consume large amounts of nutrients, inhibiting the flavouring of new flowers, leading to a subsequent failure of flowers and guacamole and a significant reduction in total production。
The best pickers for silk melons: 7-10 days after the flower has been burned, the fruit length of the guacamole has reached the standard, the surface is green and bright, and the pattern is clear, and is not old and hard, at this time the gold is extracted。
This phase has the best sense of filament, sweet, non-coarse fibres, and timely harvesting, which can quickly release vine and vine nutrients, provide new flowers and guacamole, and achieve long and sustained pick-ups。
In the middle and later stages of cultivation, there will be large numbers of old, yellow, sick and overlapping leaves in the lower part of the vine. These blades have lost their photocooperative capacity, covering only ventilation and nutrient consumption, and tend to breed insect eggs。
Each time a silkmelon is taken, the old leaves of the bottom of the vine, the left leaves, the weak leaves are trimmed and only the upper central health leaves are retained. The irradiation of vines and vines has increased significantly, reducing the incidence of disease, maintaining the vitality of the vines and avoiding early aging and early decay, with a maximum length of one to two months。
Under this method, the more the guacamole grows, the more it lasts, the more it lasts, the more it lasts, the more it lasts, the more it does, the more it does, the more it does。
Summary
The kind of silkmelon seems simple, but it's all in detail. Four decades of planting experience have taught me that the problems of growing up, falling flowers, falling melons, early decays and scavengers can be solved once the basics of proper planting, rational control, scientific watering, periodic fertilization, artificial pollination, and timely leaf harvesting are in place。
This is an unwieldy approach, which is suitable for rural planting, balconies, small courtyards, and easy access by non-basin beginners, easy and easy to produce high harvests of guacamole, pick-ups and fresh guacamole throughout the summer and autumn。
