Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, June 5 (Reporter Zhao Yihe and Zhang Mengjie) "The rain and the awn species are planted in all fields. Every family has beautiful wheat and rice, and the song grows everywhere." The poetry of the Southern Song poet Lu You vividly depicts the ancient times of awn species. Life scene.
On June 5th, we ushered in the Mang kind of solar terms, which marked the beginning of midsummer of the year.
At this time, the northern wheat is yellow, and the Jiangnan seedling green.
Mango species is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, and the third solar term in summer.
The literal meaning is "the wheat with awns will harvest quickly, and the rice with awns can be planted".
Therefore, "mang species" is also called "busy species", which is a solar term that reflects the phenomenon of agricultural phenology.
Some people think that Shanghai is very far away from awn species and agriculture, and it should be filled with tall buildings and busy traffic.
As everyone knows, Shanghai's agriculture also has a unique taste in Shanghai.
Over the years, Shanghai's suburban agriculture has been focusing on "Baili Garden, Baili Orchard, and Baili Vegetable Garden" to continuously improve the economic, ecological and service functions of agriculture in metropolitan suburbs.
"Work in rainy days, cool and not dry. Pruning residual flowers is one of the most healing things for gardeners." Tang Yunhai, a farmer who was an engineer, shared his feelings on Weibo.
Tang Yunhai runs a 38-acre "wild garden" farm in Jinshan District, Shanghai. Because of his longing for the rural scenery, he resigned from his job as an engineer and dealt with his favorite flower art every day.
Tang Yunhai told reporters that the time for mang planting has come, and the plums are almost ripe.
Recently, the weather in Shanghai is always rainy. He bought a lot of plums and prepared to let the customers who come to enjoy the homemade plum wine, and really feel the joys and laughter of "plum boiled wine" and the beautiful garden of green grass pond.
Fruits are abundant in many parts of the country, and Shanghai's melons and fruits are characterized by the creation of fine products.
The 8424 watermelons and peaches from Pudongnanhui, the grapes from Malu in Jiading, the Cuiguan pears from Fengxian Village...every time people who have eaten it, they salivate.
"We are now transporting 3,000 8424 watermelons to the urban area every day," Yingxiong, a melon farmer born in the 1980s, told reporters.
"When the mang is planted, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the watermelon has reached the best-selling stage, and we have also reached the busiest time of the year."
Ying Xiong, manager of Shanghai Yueya Agricultural Cooperative, is from Taizhou, Zhejiang.
"My father went to Shanghai to grow watermelons in 1984, and he has been following the lesson. Since 2008, he has also grown 8424 watermelons for more than ten years." He said with a smile.
Recently, the growth of eggplants in the plastic greenhouse of Haofeng Agricultural Cooperative in Langxia Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai has been gratifying.
Cooperative manager Ma Tian told reporters that with the help of science and technology, now rural agriculture has basically achieved order-based production, and market sales have less and less restrictions on urban agriculture.
Plastic greenhouses, glass greenhouses, drone monitoring and other methods have increased the stability of crop yields and the reliability of quality.
"The wheat is ripe in the wind, and the plum is yellow in the rain. Open the ice to bring the water from the well, and the mixed powder produces fragrance." The scene of mango planting is still so poetic, but today's Shanghai suburban agriculture is no longer what it used to be.
Agriculture is no longer what it used to be for food. It is not only for food security and supply of agricultural products, but also a good place for citizens to enjoy leisure, education, and sightseeing.
