From 11: 00 to 12: 00 on April 12, gusts in some areas of Beijing reached 9-11, and even reached 14 in mountainous areas. Meteorological stations with wind speeds above 10 are distributed in Haidian, Chaoyang, Fengtai, Tongzhou, Fangshan, Changping, Huairou, Pinggu, Mentougou, Yanqing and Shunyi. Despite the strong winds, farmers in farmland, cooperatives and peach groves in the suburbs of Beijing are still busy.
On the evening of April 11th, some areas in Pinggu were hit by hail weather, which worried the peach farmers. Tangtang runs a cooperative in Pinggu. When the hail came, she took a video with her mobile phone and recited the big peaches at home. Fortunately, the hail didn’t last long. The next morning, Tangtang went to Taolin to check the situation of big peaches and found that many peaches were blown off.
Qu Haiquan, 65, has planted big peaches for decades. In Xiagezhuang Town where he lives, there is only strong wind and no hail. His family has 70 acres of big peaches, most of which are planted in the open air and a few in greenhouses. The peaches in the greenhouse will be harvested soon, while those in the open air will wait until June. Qu Haiquan is full of confidence in the newly introduced detached peaches and nectarines. He said that peaches are not afraid of strong winds, but they are afraid of hail and cold spring. He thinks that the strong wind has little effect on peaches.
Peach blossoms in Pinggu are in full bloom. Will this strong wind affect flower viewing? A peach farmer said that his peaches were not sparse this year. When he checked in the morning, he found that all the flowers were blown off, and other flowers were still on the trees, so the impact of strong winds was limited. Peach blossoms in Pinggu are still tenacious and swaying in the wind.
On the short video platform, some peach farmers took netizens to enjoy flowers through live broadcast. The pink peach blossoms in the picture are swaying in the wind and full of vitality. There are also peach farmers selling agricultural products live in cooperatives or greenhouses.
Yang Yang, the head of Tongzhou Houyuanhua Ecological Picking Garden, has been busy in the garden. The strong wind blew up the quilt on the greenhouse, and the plastic film in some greenhouses was also blown away, and the green leafy vegetables inside swayed with the wind. Yang Yang was busy delivering goods to customers while contacting the insurance company to check the greenhouse situation.
In special weather, farmers are concerned about crops. Zhang Haiying, a big planter in Shexian Town, Tongzhou District, went to inspect the field early and found that the wind was very strong in the field, but the wheat seedlings were not fully jointing and the plants were short, which would not cause lodging. She mentioned that if there is such a strong wind again after mid-May, it may not work. When she was patrolling the field, she also saw a magpie spinning and falling by the strong wind.
