This is fennel seeds, which can also be sat seasoning
Today to introduce you to a very distinctive leafy vegetables, the planting range is not as wide as small cabbage, small rapeseed, but some people especially love to eat, this is the cumin is also called fennel seedlings, we often call star anise as fennel.
The seeds of cumin are a spice that is used for seasoning. The seedlings that grow after sowing are fennel seedlings. Fennel seedlings have a special smell, its way of eating is very simple, mainly wrapped dumplings or buns, can not be stir-fried, can not make soup.
There are 3 common fennel vegetables, fennel, cumin and bulb fennel. Fennel, tall plants, picking young shoots, spring sowing, can be harvested many times, but relatively few planted. We grow more cumin, and in recent years we have started growing bulb fennel as a specialty dish.
Because cumin is relatively niche, not much is known about it. In the Hebei region where I live, there are still many fennel plants. Not only are there large areas of planted fennel seedlings, but the family garden also likes to plant a small piece of fennel, which is especially good for eating and cutting.
Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, planting cumin is not late, is cumin like a cabbage can be planted with several stubbles? Although it is different from the way of eating Cabbage, it is also a leafy vegetable, and the growth cycle is relatively short, so cumin can also be planted several stubbles a year.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > First, to know when cumin is planted, we must first know the environmental conditions required for its growth</h1>
1. Temperature
Fennel vegetables are native to the Mediterranean coastal region, prefer cool climate, grow at a suitable temperature of 15-25 ° C, but are very adaptable, can grow in the range of 4-36 ° C, relatively hardy and heat-resistant; seeds can germinate at 10 ° C, but the suitable temperature is 15-20 ° C.
2. Moisture
More drought-tolerant, the need for water is not very much, if you want the plant to grow quickly, you need more watering, but the fragrance may not be so strong.
3. Nutrients
The demand for nutrients is high, it is not tolerant to barrenness, and if the soil fertility is insufficient, the plant is small and the leaves are obviously yellow.
4. Illumination
Prefers plenty of light, so it needs to be planted in sunny plots, and if there is not enough light, the leaves will turn yellow, which will particularly affect the taste.
If the soil fertility is insufficient, fennel seedlings are particularly prone to yellowing

1. North
Since fennel seeds can only germinate above 10 °C, sowing cannot be sown too early, at least after the Qingming Dynasty. In fact, in the northern region, open land can be planted in spring, summer and autumn (about April to September), but the summer yield is relatively low and the quality is not so good.
2, facilities greenhouses: northern facilities greenhouses can be planted in winter, spring and autumn.
3, the south: April to October can be sown, especially in south China in winter can be planted with fennel in the open.

1. Apply plantar fertilizer when preparing the land
Since cumin is not tolerant to barrenness, it is possible to apply more fertilizer when preparing the land. Apply 3-5 tons of decomposing organic fertilizer per mu of land, carefully level the plot after ploughing, and make a flat furrow to be sown.
2. Sowing seeds
Fennel seeds are not difficult to germinate, so you don't need to do seed treatment, just sow the seeds. Sow the seeds, ditch according to the row spacing of 30 cm, spread evenly, and sow the seeds thinly.
Cumin does not have seedlings or seedlings, so the amount of sowing should be appropriate, sowing 8-10 catties per acre. After sowing, cover the soil, rake it with an iron rake, and finally water it thoroughly.
3. Field management
Cumin emerges 5-7 days after sowing, and the soil must be loosened after emergence, which can promote root growth, weeding, and the role of moisture preservation.
If the leaves of the plant are yellow and not exuberant, then about once when the plant grows to about 10 cm. This kind of vegetable with special flavor, try not to apply chemical fertilizer, you can chase some organic fertilizer. It can provide sufficient nutrients, but it will not let the plant grow too fast, affecting the quality and yield, and do not water too much in daily management.
When the fennel seedlings are 30-40 cm tall, they can be harvested one after another and put on the market with roots.
