At night, the temperature drops low. The cold rain makes the work of ornamental plant traders more difficult. To dispel the cold at night, some traders light fires to keep warm and stay up together to look after the ornamental plants. Photo: Duc Anh

This is the fifth night that peach and kumquat traders at the Citadel Gate in Cua Nam Ward have been staying in a temporary tent to look after their ornamental plants. The cold weather has made their work more difficult. “Kumquats have been arriving for several days but there are still not many buyers. Hopefully, in the last days of the year, purchasing power will increase so that we can sell all the remaining kumquats and peaches and have a little more money to buy Tet for our wives and children,” said a trader at the Cua Nam Citadel Gate.

For more than a week now, the low temperature in Vinh city has made Mr. Nguyen Thanh Toan (a small trader selling peach and apricot flowers at the City Gate in Cua Nam Ward) worried. Mr. Toan shared: "The cold and rainy weather in the past few days has made it difficult to transport and sell apricot and peach flowers. We have stayed up many nights to take care of the trees so they can stay green and bloom right on Tet. It has been raining, accompanied by frost, so we have had to stretch out tarps to prevent the trees from turning yellow. I hope the weather will be favorable so that flower and ornamental plant traders can have a more fulfilling Tet." Photo: Duc Anh
