"Orange honey fragrance", is a new variety of small tomato, its name, looks not only warm color, but also sweet and fragrance in it. It is a representative crop of "Winter crops" in Meinong.

Let's first explain what "doing in winter" is. After the decline of Meinong's well-known tobacco industry, farmers have turned to rich and diverse winter crops, including min beans, radishes, red beans, peppers, tomatoes and so on. In the previous season of the second phase of rice farming, because of the rainy typhoon and many diseases and insect pests, most farmers chose to rest their fields, so over the past decade, agricultural management in Meinung has slowly shifted to one-stage rice plus one-stage winter farming. At the beginning of autumn, Meinung fields gradually began to be busy.

In recent years, Meinong has taken the lead in the agricultural industry management in winter, with "Baiyu radish" and "orange honey-scented little tomato" taking the lead. Meinong farmers began to grow orange honey tomatoes eight years ago. Through their own efforts, accumulation of experience, and mutual discussion of cultivation and management techniques, it has gradually become a representative high-quality fruit. Because of its unique taste, orange honey-scented tomatoes have been able to maintain stability when the prices of other agricultural products rise and fall, driving Meinong's agricultural economy.

However, it is really a laborious task to grow good orange honey-scented tomatoes, because we have to wait for the time to be favorable and the people to be in harmony. According to the introduction of the sixth issue of Meinong's representative publication Ye Ueno and Xixia, the preparation of orange honey-fragrant small tomato fields before sowing took a lot of trouble:

"the soil must be loosened, and if the soil is to be loosened, it must be dry enough. Sometimes it will suddenly rain after waiting for it, which will make the peasants feel relaxed and get tangled up again. It was not easy to hit the fields and make the beds, and then we had to flood the soil for a week. after the water was almost absorbed by the soil, we began to build sheds and cover tarpaulins, and so on, all the prior work was done before the tomato seedlings could be planted properly. " Then, "Little Tomato likes cool weather, so tomatoes grown in autumn and winter will taste better than those grown in spring and summer, but they also like to bask in the sun, so Meinong, which has a bright sun during the day and a straight drop in temperature in the evening, is just suitable for little tomatoes to grow and store sweets!"

In addition, many farmers carefully develop cultivation recipes, such as feeding small tomatoes to drink fermented milk, because yogurt is rich in protein and easy to absorb, which can enhance the flavor and sweetness of orange honey-scented tomatoes. Its sweetness can reach more than 10 degrees, solid taste, pleasant color, so it is increasingly loved by everyone.

Due to the impact of abnormal rainfall since the beginning of autumn, the yield of orange honey-fragrant tomatoes, which was harvested in mid-December this year, has decreased by 50% compared with previous years, and its quality and sweetness have also been affected. Due to the great difference in quality, in order to enable consumers to taste really delicious orange honey-scented small tomatoes, the Meinong Peasants' Association has specially implemented the certification mechanism of "high-quality orange honey-scented tomatoes" this year, recommending fine farmers and high-quality fruits to consumers.

Zhong Qinghui, director general of the Meinung Peasants' Association, said: "I hope that clusters of orange honey-scented tomatoes will bring warmth to people like the color of the winter sun." Its production season lasts until March next year, and this year the Meinung Peasant Association specially recommended two farmers, the Meinung River Embankment Tomato Garden and Jie Shanyuan, to open the tomato garden to provide fruit-picking experience. Find a warm winter and go on a family trip to pick fruit.

[fruit picking experience] the tomato garden on the embankment of the Meinong River is located next to the embankment of the Meinung River. you can also enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers in Meinung by picking tomatoes. Forming a good relationship: growing tomatoes is not only a career, but also a commitment and responsibility, and understanding is a kind of fate.

Zhong Qinghui (first from left), director-general of the Meinung Peasant Association, said that in recent years, farmers working in Meinung as "orange honey-scented little tomatoes" in winter are mainly young farmers who need to have a high degree of market sensitivity and professional knowledge of cultivated crops.
