(Baonghean.vn) - For a long time, pumpkin plants, also known as "bu ro," have been widely cultivated by people in Anh Son district in the alluvial plains of the Lam River. Besides being grown for its fruit, the plant is also cultivated for its shoots and flowers. Each plot of land planted with pumpkins yields an income of 50-60 million VND per harvest.

| From early morning, the alluvial plains of the Lam River in Linh Son commune (Anh Son district) were bustling with the sounds of women's laughter and conversation. Everyone was harvesting vegetables early in the morning to take to the market or supply to buyers. |
 |
| Quickly picking the tender, vibrant green shoots of the wild yam plant, Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung from Hamlet 4, Linh Son Commune, excitedly said: "This season, my family planted 1 hectare, and after a month, the wild yam plants started to yield fruit. Wild yams are grown a lot here, but mainly for their shoots and flowers, not for their fruit like in other places. On average, my family harvests about 50 bundles a day, and at 4,000 VND each, I earn an average of 200,000 VND per day." |
 |
| The fertile alluvial soil ensures that every row of water spinach is lush and green, guaranteeing that the farmers have water spinach to sell at the market every day. |
 |
| Currently, the entire Lam River floodplain in Linh Son commune has up to 20 hectares of land being replanted by local people, with more than 50 households participating. On average, each hectare yields 50-60 million VND per crop. |
 |
| To ensure safe vegetable production, local households do not use pesticides or growth stimulants, thus earning the trust of consumers. Besides supplying vegetables to the district market, Linh Son vegetables are also distributed to many other places such as Do Luong and Vinh. |
 |
| These bouquets of fresh flowers are delicious. |
 |
| The wild greens are getting ready for their "journey" to the market to reach consumers. |
 |
| Not only in Linh Son commune, but currently in Anh Son district, many localities are also planting pumpkins on alluvial land such as Thach Son, Cam Son, Dinh Son, Tao Son… with an area of 100-120 hectares. |
