Pictures of Growing Vegetables Near Rivers and in Desert Conditions.

Growing vegetables by Chinese farmers in China is the equivalent of growing vegetables by market gardeners in the western world. The methods of growing vegetables might differ but the end product is the same. They have the same reasons for growing vegetables; to supply the wholesale markets, or the stallholders or to sell directly to the customers.       Chinese families will make use of even a small plot of land for growing vegetables because they value the importance of fresh food. Terraced hills, embankments of rivers are both used for growing vegetables. Any plot of level ground, however small, near countryside homes in China are likely to be used for growing vegetables.

Growing vegetables by Chinese farmers in the desert-like conditions of Gansu province, is certainly a challenge. By using fresh well water in the growing of vegetables, the Chinese farmers change the color of       the yellow earth to green. Growing vegetables in raised beds in Gansu enables the Chinese farmer to divert well water between the beds to irrigate the crops.
Picture of growing vegetables, including broad beans and sweetcorn, in the yellow earth of Gansu Province, China.
Growing vegetables in Gansu Province, where the land is mostly desert and mountains, is a challenge for the Chinese farmers, who irrigate the yellow earth with fresh well water. Sweetcorn, broadbeans, sunflowers       and tomatoes are amongst the growing vegetables to be seen in their fields. Their method of growing vegetables in raised beds covered with polythene reduces the evaporation of the fresh well water, with which they irrigate their crops.

Growing vegetables in raised beds with not a weed in sight. A small community in Longzhou, their village reached by ferry boat, had their own plots for growing vegetables. The vegetables planted       in ordered rows included lettuce and root vegetables, the foliage of the growing vegetables in different shades of green, looking very fresh and healthy.

Vegetable farming is the growing of vegetables for human consumption. Traditionally it was done in the soil in small rows or blocks, often primarily for consumption on the farm, with the excess sold in nearby towns. Later, farms on the edge of large communities could specialize in vegetable production, with the short distance allowing the farmer to get his produce to market while still fresh. The three sisters method used by Native Americans(specifically the Haudenosaunee/Iroquois) grew squash, beans and corn together so that the plants enhanced each other's growth. Planting in long rows allows machinery to cultivate the fields, increasing efficiency and output; however, the diversity of vegetables crops requires a number of techniques to be used to optimize the growth of each type of plant. Some farms, therefore, specialize in one vegetable; others grow a large variety. Due to the needs to market vegetables while fresh, vegetable gardening has high labor demands. Some farms avoid this by running u-pick operations where the customers pick their own produce. The development of ripening technologies and refrigeration has reduced the problems with getting produce to market in good condition. Src: Wikipedia.com. '''''
