How to pick and dry honeysuckle? Please introduce the picking and drying of honeysuckle can refer to the following methods: 1. Picking: the picking period of honeysuckle is generally in late May, the second crop is in mid-July, the third crop is around mid-August, and the fourth crop is in mid-October. The flowering period of the first stubble flowers is more concentrated, about 5 murals for 7 days, and the second, third and fourth stubble flowers for about 7 murals for 10 days. The picking time of honeysuckle should be controlled when the upper part of the flower needle is inflated white, that is, what florists commonly call the "big white needle period". The time for picking honeysuckle should be concentrated at 09:00 every morning, and it is appropriate to get up to 70% or 80% dry that day. 2. Drying: processing and drying is the last step to ensure the honeysuckle. During the drying period, the buds are not 80% dry and must not be turned, otherwise the needles will turn black and the quality will decline significantly. In the traditional drying method of honeysuckle, choose the place where the wind is facing the sun and the sunshine is long, sprinkle the picked needles thinly on a layer with a thickness of 2 cm, and harvest on the same day or the next day. Basket drying method: it is a drying method used many times in the flower area. Use wooden strips to make a 5-foot-long, 2-foot-wide, 1.5-inch basket with sorghum stalks in the middle, and no baskets to basket. when it is 80% dry, you can pour it into the mat and turn it over.
