Grain in Ear is also known as "busy planting" and is mainly a time for growing grains.
During the Grain in Ear period, it is necessary to rush to plant spring crops and transplant rice in time.
The Tongwei Filial Piety Yuanshenqi says: "Fifteen days after Xiaoman, the Big Dipper points to Si, which is Grain in Ear, the May Festival. It means that the grains with awns can be sown."
1. Soybeans
Grain in Ear is a good time to plant soybeans. There is a saying that goes "If you want to plant soybeans during Grain in Ear, plant them during the Summer Solstice; if you want to plant good wheat, plant them during the Frost Descent."
2. Sesame
Grain in Ear falls in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which is also a good time to plant sesame. There is a saying that "In May, sesame seeds start to grow from the feet, and in June, sesame seeds start to bloom from the top of the head."
3. Corn
There is a saying in rural areas that "plant corn before wheat harvest, and resist sprout waterlogging when it rains after wheat harvest." Because Grain in Ear is the time for harvesting wheat, corn can be sown between wheat ridges, which is beneficial to increase corn production and income.
4. Sweet potatoes
There is a saying that "potatoes planted during Grain in Ear weigh ten kilograms, while potatoes planted during Summer Solstice are bare of roots", which shows that Grain in Ear is also the period for planting sweet potatoes and other potato crops. For summer-sown sweet potatoes, the seedlings should be planted around Grain in Ear, and should not be sown after the Summer Solstice.
5. Rice
As the saying goes, "planting rice seedlings during Grain in Ear Festival will produce full ears of grain, while planting rice seedlings during Summer Solstice will produce half of the grains." To plant autumn rice, you need to plant rice seedlings during Grain in Ear Festival, and the rice will produce full ears of grain. However, if you plant rice seedlings during Summer Solstice, although there is a difference of about 15 days, the growth of rice is different and only half of the grains can be produced.
