Spring is a good time to eat leeks, these days, in The Wangjing Village of Jiading Industrial Zone, pieces of leeks and leeks are alternately arranged, one green and one yellow form a special landscape.
"Leeks are not delicate, as long as the seeds are sprinkled in the soil, after a few days, you will see small buds as fine as the tip of the needle drilling out." Chen Xiufen, a villager who is working in the field, said that in just one month of work, the first stubble of leeks can be harvested, "the vitality of leeks is very strong, no matter whether the rhizomes left behind when cutting are long or short, it will always be cut more and more vigorously, longer and thicker." ”
Leeks can also turn leeks yellow. In November last year, after the villagers cut off the last batch of old leeks, they put on "hats" for them, and then grew leeks.
Leeks, also known as leek buds, are made by leeks growing in an environment without light. Because there is no sunlight, it cannot photosynthesize to synthesize chlorophyll, and it grows yellow.
Chen Xiufen introduced that there is a reason why she chose leeks as the main vegetable, "All fruits and vegetables are afraid of the cold spring, but the leeks are still lush." ”
It is understood that the leeks in Wangjing Village have also passed the brand certification. In 2007, leeks planted by Shanghai Wangying Vegetable and Fruit Professional Cooperative in Wangjing Village were awarded the National Pollution-free Agricultural Product Certificate. In 2008, the cooperative established a 100-acre leek production demonstration base. This year, the planting area of leeks has been further expanded, reaching 165 acres.
