Ginseng Fuji Sanju
Last Saturday, taking advantage of the unbearable temperature, the yard was packed, which had been left unattended for a summer and was already overgrown. These small flowers, which bloomed just right, were reluctant to throw them away, inserted into vases, and left them in the hallway for five days. Today, I saw that some branches and stems had been hanging down, and I planned to throw them away with the garbage, but I didn't expect to grow white roots in just five days. I didn't want to throw it away, and continued to swing in the hallway.
I like these little flowers because they are not as dazzling as other summer flowers, and they bloom quietly under the blueberry tree. It began to appear in the yard a few years ago, supposedly the seeds brought by the birds, and since then the number has increased year by year, and now it is the main weed in summer.
Probably after staying in Japan for a long time, I like these ordinary, less annoying flowers and plants more and more. Ask netizens to know that it is called native ginseng, look up on the Internet to know that it is a wild vegetable with high nutritional value, which can be fried, stewed, soup, and can also be used in medicine.
This year, the yard specially planted a vegetable with a very similar fleshy leaf - the Japanese character is "Yunnan Hundred Medicines", and the Chinese is called Fuji Sanqi, and the official name is the vegetable of the sunflower potato. From the resounding name of Yunnan Hundred Medicines, it can be seen that in recent years it has begun to be concerned by japanese people and is very popular among some people. Like native ginseng, it is rich in nutritional value and can also be used in medicine. Japan, where leafy vegetables are scarce in summer, is a rare vegetable. The leaves of the vine sanchi are fragile, and when the leaves are folded when they are accidentally transported, they will quickly break, and it is best to eat and pick them now. In the spring, several bulbs were dug up from the Matsumoto Farm and planted along the western enclosure. He hung a net outside the large window to the west and let it crawl along the net, hoping that its cute heart-shaped leaves would shield the strong summer sunset.
Vine 37 blooms fragrant flocculent white flowers in autumn, and after flowering, the fruit is very similar to a yam egg. Its leaves, fruits, and rhizomes are edible. Propagation can be carried out with fruits or by bulbs. It was planted in the yard, and the noodles went down to the pot, and they all had time to pick the leaves and put them in the soup, which was very convenient.
Surprises from food waste
Last year, at this time, this place also had three cute small winter melons in succession. Although this year is still only one, I hope to continue to bloom female flowers and bear more than a few. Winter melon seeds need a high temperature to germinate, and they can only germinate at 25 degrees at night. Pumpkins are different, in the late spring began to bury the kitchen waste in the yard where the germination here and there, the pumpkins sprouted in the yard are mostly Chinese squash, the leaves are large, the vine can occupy the small courtyard in the blink of an eye, so I saw the pumpkin seedlings and pulled. Winter melons are different, fujiko is not so domineering, and Japanese winter melons are expensive, so they stay as much as possible every year. This is the third time that a winter melon vine has grown and borne fruit from the kitchen waste buried in the yard.
