Seasons of herbs and spices on the white sand of Quynh Luu

Thanh Phuc • June 24, 2025 07:14

From barren rice fields, people of Quynh Van commune (Quynh Luu) have boldly switched to growing herbs such as perilla, Vietnamese balm, basil, scallions... Vegetables are rooted in the soil and in the alluvial sand area, not only creating a green livelihood but also opening up clean production directions, linking consumption, and elevating the brand of local agricultural products.

The beds of herbs grow well on sandy alluvial soil, with few pests and diseases, suitable for clean agricultural production. These are plants that are not picky about soil, easy to care for, have a short growing time, and have high economic value. Photo: TP

Farmers in Quynh Van commune use the local underground water source for drip irrigation, saving water and limiting plant diseases. Regular watering helps vegetables stay fresh for a long time, ensuring quality when harvested. Photo: TP

Weeding, tilling the soil, and applying organic fertilizer are not complicated processes but require careful and steady hands. If well cared for, herbs will yield a regular harvest for many months. Photo: TP

Herbs such as basil, cinnamon, perilla... are bundled evenly, sorted in the field, ensuring hygiene and eye-catching. This is an important factor for Quynh Van herbs to retain long-term traders. Photo: TP.

Farmers keep some of the vegetables to flower and collect seeds. The seeds are dried in the sun and carefully preserved for planting the next crop. Photo: TP

làm luống — The soil is plowed, left fallow and covered with plastic to retain moisture and limit weeds. This is an important step that determines the success or failure of each crop. Photo: TP

Folk experience of mixing sand with soaked seeds helps the seeds to be evenly distributed and germinate easily. Growers prioritize clean seeds, not chemically treated. Photo: TP

After sowing, farmers use misting to create light humidity, stimulating rapid and even germination. Some vegetables will be kept in place, while others will be transplanted into beds. Photo: TP

cây giống — The seedlings are gently pulled out, selecting healthy ones to transplant into the field. This is a step that requires dexterity to avoid damaging the young roots. Photo: TP

With intensive farming experience, people always arrange vegetable crops to overlap each other, helping to maintain a steady income, creating a source of spices to supply the market all year round. Photo: TP
