There are still more than 2 months to go until Tet, but at this time, Nghe An farmers have been keeping their lights on all night to take care of their flower gardens. Many fields light up at night, every time the "flower street" lights up.

Yen Thanh district is one of the localities where people invest a lot in growing Tet flowers, with 5 - 7 hectares/year. On this occasion, when night falls, many flower fields in Yen Thanh district light up, with thousands of light bulbs installed, making anyone passing by exclaim in amazement. It is known that the flower field right next to the Dao River, close to block 4, Yen Thanh town has more than 2 hectares, rented by 3 households: Phan Quoc Cuong, Phan Quang Tuan and Phan Quoc Nam.

Mr. Phan Quang Tuan and his wife in Block 4, Yen Thanh town said that this year, their family planted 10 sao of chrysanthemums of all kinds. Of which, 1 sao is sold on the occasion of the 15th day of the 12th lunar month, 8 sao is sold on the occasion of Lunar New Year, and 1 sao is sold on the occasion of the 15th day of the 1st lunar month. Therefore, the planting is also calculated appropriately. According to Mr. Tuan and his wife, the fertilizer for the flowers is chicken manure, to prevent rain from causing soil erosion when it rains, and the plants will not fall, because chicken manure contains a lot of rice husks.

Growing flowers for Tet requires care from the time of planting to harvest, so every day we have to be present in the field to weed, fertilize, water... In addition to mobilizing human resources in the family, we also have to hire many workers to do it all. However, because we cannot finish all the work during the day, we have to work at night, when the lights are on. Photo: Xuan Hoang

According to flower growers, this year's flower varieties are almost twice as expensive as last year. 10,000 chrysanthemum seedlings this year cost from 3 to 3.5 million VND, while last year they were only 1.5 million VND/10,000 plants. This year, there has been little rain, so it is more favorable for flower care. However, flower growers will adjust the growth of the flowers according to the weather. Photo: Xuan Hoang

With 10 flower fields, Phan Quang Tuan's family installed more than 500 light bulbs, each with a capacity of 12W. Because they had to keep the lights on all night for more than 2 months, the electricity bill was 3.5 - 4 million VND/month, not including the cost of replacing the bulbs when they burned out. With 10 flower fields, the total cost for one crop was about 400 million VND. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Mr. Le Van Hong - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Yen Thanh district said that the whole district has about 20 hectares of Tet flowers, planted scattered in the communes, but the most concentrated is still the town area. In addition to the area of ​​flowers grown outdoors, people also grow flowers in greenhouses and net houses.
Not only Yen Thanh district, but farmers in other localities such as Dien Chau, Quynh Luu, Nam Dan, Hung Nguyen, Nghi Loc and Vinh city also invest in growing Tet flowers. Therefore, many fields in Nghe An are also bright at night, because hundreds of light bulbs are turned on at the same time. Photo: Xuan Hoang
