In addition, in May and June, the roots are harvested, the roots are simmered with fire, and the leaves do not fall for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info bloom fine purple flowers in August, into spikes for the house such as nepeta ears. Harvest the seeds in September when they are half dry, the seeds are as thin as mustard seeds and yellow and red in color, and you can also take oil such as stubble oil. Today there is a flower perilla; Its leaves are finely toothed and densely buttoned, and the fragrant stems are no different, and they are called Hui Su.
Perilla has a history of nearly 2,000 years of cultivation and application in China, mainly used for medicinal purposes, oil, spices, edibles, etc., its leaves (Su leaves), stems (Su stems), fruits (Su seeds) can be used in medicine, young leaves can be eaten raw, made as soup, stems and leaves can be drowned. In recent years, perilla has become a multi-purpose plant that has attracted much attention from the world because of its unique active substances and nutrients, and its economic value is very high. Russia, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada and other countries have carried out a large number of commercial cultivation of perilla plants, and developed dozens of perilla products such as edible oil, medicines, submerged products, cosmetics, etc.
The medicinal value of perilla is also very high, and the sexual taste: pungent, lukewarm, non-toxic. Return to the meridians: spleen meridians, lung meridians and two meridians. 1.

Fourth, it is used for abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by eating fish and crabs, and it is used alone or with ginger and angelica dahurica.
Of course, the most important concern of Supreme Treasure is how to grow perilla. Its cultivation methods: propagation with seeds, direct seeding and seedling transplanting methods. When collecting seeds, the seeds should be selected with purple on both sides of the leaves. Live broadcast method, mid to late April in the north; Sowing in late March in the south. Seeding and acupuncture seeding are acceptable. The spacing of the row is 50 centimeters, the shallow ditch is opened from 0.5 to 1 centimeter, the amount of seed per hectare is about 11.25 kilograms, and the row spacing of hole sowing is 30 centimeters multiplied by 50 centimeters. seedling transplanting method; Southern March; In the north, seedlings are sown in April and transplanted in early May.
In the field management, pay attention to the seedlings and replenish the seedlings during the growth period, and leave two to three seedlings in each hole. Weeding in tillage, top dressing two to three times, watering in drought and drainage in rainy season.
In the end, the Supreme Treasure accidentally discovered the shepherd's cabbage that he often ate when he was a child, which used to be often brought by his grandmother to the Supreme Treasure to eat, and the taste was fragrant and good.
Capsule, cruciferous capsule, annual or biennial herbaceous plant, up to fifty cm high, stems erect, basal leaves clustered rosette-shaped, petioles five to forty mm long, stems and leaves narrowly lanceolate or lanceolate, racemes apical and axillary, sepals oblong, petals white, flowering and fruiting period from April to June. Capsule grows on hillsides, field edges and roadsides, and is wild and occasionally cultivated. It is distributed in all provinces and regions of China, and is widely distributed in temperate regions of the world. Capsule's herb can be used as medicine, the stems and leaves are eaten as vegetables, and the seeds contain oil, which is used for paint and soap.
Regarding the shepherd's cabbage, the Supreme Treasure still understands some of its alternative humanistic values. The reputation of shepherd's cabbage is far and wide, thanks to the literati of good food in the past generations. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were a number of "Camelina Fu" published. Su Dongpo and Lu Fangweng in the Song Dynasty, Zhou Zuoren and Wang Zengqi in modern times, relayed before and after, and sang praises for the shepherd's cabbage. Lu You once chanted "Ten Rhymes of Eating Camelina".
Su Shi has "The Twelve Books with Xu": "Today's food is extremely beautiful...... Although not willing to be in the five flavors, but the beauty of the taste, the method of taking one or two liters of camelina Xu, net selection, into the rice three-in-one, three liters of cold water, ginger without peeling, pounding two fingers into the kettle, pouring raw oil and an inkstone shell, when on the soup noodles...... Do not enter salt and vinegar, if you know this taste, then the eight treasures of land and sea can be despised and disgusted." Mingren Huahao's "Wild Vegetable Recipe": "The river is green and the river is green, the daughter of the riverside picks vegetables and cries, the grandmother's new dead brother is ripe, and I and my sister are watching the house", but it has recorded a lot of bitter history in the world that is also a camelina eater.
On the third day of the third lunar month, there is a custom of "boiling eggs with cauliflower on the third day of March" at my grandmother's house in Nanjing. It is said that the tradition of eating boiled eggs with cauliflower on the third day of March originated from the ancient festival of Shangsi Festival more than 2,000 years ago. In ancient times, important ceremonies were held on this day to ward off disasters and evil spirits, and to pray for good luck and peace. The folk have always worshiped the shepherd's cabbage, and the people believe that the spring edible shepherd's cabbage should be eaten from time to time, which can drive away evil spirits and brighten the eyes, auspicious and fitness. Therefore, Jiangnan even has a saying that the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the birthday of the shepherd's cabbage.
Regarding the cultivation of shepherd's cabbage, Supreme Treasure still knows a little about it, and this wild vegetable is still very easy to survive. Generally, shepherd's cabbage can be cultivated in spring, summer and autumn in the Yangtze River Basin, spring cultivation is sown from late February to late April of the following year, summer cultivation is sown from early July to late August, autumn cultivation is sown from early September to early October, and if cultivated in plastic greenhouses, it can be sown at any time from early October to early February of the following year.
In terms of land selection and land preparation, choose well-drained, fertile plots with less weeds for planting to avoid continuous cropping. Flip shallowly, rake finely, and make a flat furrow.
In terms of field management, first, watering, the seeds of shepherd's cabbage are small and susceptible to soil moisture. Before the emergence of seedlings, we must pay attention to watering and moisturizing, watering time is better when the dew is not dry in the morning, watering to master the principle of "light watering, frequent watering", can not be watered thoroughly, watered every one to two days.
Second, weeding, shepherd's cabbage plants are dwarf, often overgrown with weeds, chemical weeding is difficult, affecting the quality of shepherd's cabbage, so the management should be often cultivated and weeded, so that it can be pulled early, pulled small, pulled, and not waiting for the grass to press the seedlings.
3. Fertilization: generally three to four days after autumn sowing - six to fifteen days after spring sowing. When the seedlings have two true leaves, the first top dressing is carried out, urea solution is applied, and now it is better to replace it with chicken and duck feces and urine without urea. The second top dressing is carried out seven to ten days before harvest. After each harvest of top dressing, the fertilization concentration can be appropriately increased. The harvest period of autumn-sown shepherd's cabbage is longer, and it can be topdressed four times, and the amount of fertilizer each time is the same as that of spring-sown shepherd's cabbage.
In terms of harvest management, shepherd's cabbage is harvested in stages, each harvest should be picked large and small, the retained plants should be uniform and appropriate, sowing shepherd's cabbage in early autumn, when the true leaves are ten to thirteen pieces can be harvested, about the first half of September to supply the market, from sowing to harvesting for 30 to 35 days, after harvesting in installments four to five times, to the end of the harvest in late March of the following year, the autumn shepherd's cabbage sown in early October, with the gradual decrease in temperature, the growth becomes slow, 45 to 60 days before harvesting, and then can continue to harvest twice, the spring shepherd's cabbage sown in late FebruaryIt is harvested in early April to supply the market, while those sown in late April are harvested in late May, and spring sowing shepherd's cabbage is generally harvested once or twice.
