What are the characteristics of Lesser Heat? What crops are suitable for growing?
"Shu" means hot. Although the Lesser Heat solar term is not the hottest time of summer, the temperature is still very high. So what are the characteristics of the Lesser Heat solar term? During the dog days of June, the sun is scorching hot. Many plants are listless under the scorching heat, but the lotus in the lotus pond stands tall and graceful and looks vigorous. Therefore, it is called the "fu month" or "lotus month". Come to Shuimo.net with the editor to learn more about the sixth month of the lunar calendar.What are the characteristics of Lesser Heat?1. Around the beginning of the Lesser Heat, most areas in southern China enter the season with the most thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are often accompanied by strong winds, heavy rains, and sometimes hail, which can easily cause disasters. As the eastern part of South China is often controlled by subtropical high pressure, it has begun to enter the summer drought period with many sunny days and high temperatures. The southeast monsoon rainy season from the Pacific Ocean has begun in the vast areas north of the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains in the east, with a significant increase in precipitation and relatively concentrated rainfall.2. Lesser Heat, the eleventh solar term of the twenty-four solar terms, marks the end of the Wu month and the beginning of the Wei month in the Ganzhi calendar. When the Dipper points to Xin, the sun reaches 105 degrees of the ecliptic longitude, and the solar term falls on July 6-8 of the Gregorian calendar every year. "Shu" means hot, and "Xiaoshu" means a slight heat, not very hot. It means the weather is starting to get hot, but it hasn't reached its hottest point yet. What crops are suitable for growing?Cabbage can be planted during the Lesser Heat season. When planting cabbage, you need to soak the seeds in clean water, wait for the seed coat to burst, then take them out and drain them, and then sow them in humus soil with rich organic matter content and loose soil. After sowing, you can spray the soil with a solution of carbendazim to make the seeds germinate as soon as possible. Cucumbers can also be planted during the Lesser Heat. During the care of the cucumbers, you can provide them with unpolluted river water or purified water to keep the soil moist. During the watering process, you need to pour the water directly into the soil to soak all the soil. Also, please note that you should not water the plants in the afternoon to avoid burns. |
