What vegetables are suitable for planting around Frost's Descent? Here are the planting recommendations

Frost's Descent is the last solar term of autumn, meaning autumn is about to end, the weather is turning cooler, and winter is coming. There is a folk saying that frostbitten green vegetables are especially sweet. Frost's Descent is also the season when many vegetables and fruits hit the market, but after the harvest you may not know what to plant. Let's take a look together.

1. Cilantro

Cilantro is a vegetable with extremely strong cold resistance. Planted in autumn, it can safely overwinter, and planting it after Frost's Descent is most suitable. Planted at this time, it can reach the market before the Spring Festival, bringing better economic returns. But before planting, the seeds need to be processed: rub them apart into two halves by hand, then soak them in warm water before sowing. This ensures uniform and strong seedlings. After sowing, cover with a layer of rice straw to help keep warm and promote emergence.

2. Celery

Celery is a vegetable for cool environments. Under cool climate and short-day conditions, its vegetative growth is vigorous, with high yield and good quality. Autumn in most regions of our country is suitable for its growth. Celery has extremely strong adaptability; you only need to choose a suitable variety and take some corresponding measures during planting, and it can be cultivated in three seasons.

3. Chinese cabbage

Chinese cabbage needs no introduction. It can be planted all year round and is the most common vegetable in our daily lives, cultivated in both the north and south. Its cultivation area and consumption volume rank first among all vegetables in China. There are many varieties of Chinese cabbage, broadly divided into da baicai (large Chinese cabbage) and xiao baicai (small Chinese cabbage). Da baicai is what we call baicai in daily life, or heading cabbage, also called round cabbage or foreign cabbage; xiao baicai refers to vegetables such as Shanghai bok choy.

4. Spinach

Spinach is now widely cultivated in our country and is one of the most common vegetables. Its cold resistance is also relatively strong, and no matter when you plant it, it is not too late: plant early, harvest early; plant late, harvest late. When planting in autumn and winter, choose varieties with strong cold resistance and late bolting; otherwise, they are very prone to bolting early or being frostbitten during overwintering, which is bad for yield and quality.

5. Scallion

Similar to cilantro, scallion is also one of the common vegetables. People often need it for everyday cooking, and it is a very practical seasoning. Scallion has extremely strong adaptability and can also be planted all year round, and it has few pests and diseases, making planting and management relatively simple.
