Chapter 171 Reclaiming Vegetable Fields
But the vitality of the plant is very tenacious, but within three or four days, a layer of new leaves has grown, stretching tenderly on the branches.
Although the rainy season has passed at this time, it is the most difficult time in the big forest, because when the sun shines, the water vapor on the ground evaporates, and the sweltering heat is more uncomfortable than the rainy day.
At the same time, in the humid and hot weather, various mosquitoes, poisonous insects and ants breed in large numbers, adding to the trouble.
Therefore, basically half a month after the rainy season, everyone will start to really go out to work.
Right now, I just want to do something, look for wild vegetables, grow taro, yam, and grow vegetables.
At this time, the soil is soft and the things planted are more likely to survive. After these things are done, there will be time to do other things.
After a rainy season, all kinds of animals have come out of their holes one after another. Going hunting at this time must be rewarding.
Mu Qingli also planned to take advantage of this day to reclaim the vegetable plot in the yard and grow vegetables.
Thanks to the girl in Shennongtang, her space contains seeds of various vegetables such as radishes, cabbage, lettuce, choy sum, Shanghai greens, green vegetables, celery, garlic sprouts, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans.
She can't bear to eat wild vegetables every day. Now that the rainy season has passed, it's time to reclaim the vegetable field and plant a little bit of rapeseed.
She and Mo Yunshen went out to explore the way, and the vegetable field at home could be handed over to Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan for management, which was very convenient.
Anyway, the origin of various vegetable seeds is also very easy to explain - say that they were found in the big forest! Anyway, few of the villagers went deep into the forest.
In everyone's eyes, these radishes and cabbage are actually no different from dandelions and mustard greens, they are all vegetables.
Perhaps, the taste will be better, that's all.
More importantly, Mu Qingli also wants to grow some potatoes and corn, oh, these are good things! Tiantian yam and taro are too monotonous.
If it's not too much trouble, she wants to grow rice...
Of course, this is not necessary right now, after all, there are still several thousand catties of high-quality rice in the space. Save some food, it should be enough for their family of four to go out.
After going out, although the food is not as rich as it was in modern times, at least there is enough rice.
After discussing with Mo Yunshen, the two carried a hoe to tidy up the vegetable field.
Although Mu Qingli has never grown vegetables, she has grown medicines and tended the medicine fields.
The medicine field and the vegetable field are almost the same thing. After she explained and gestured, Mo Yunshen soon understood, and the couple sorted it out together.
Carrying a hoe, stepping on the vegetable field, Mo Yunshen looked down at his muddy clothes and hands, and couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly: He never thought that he would play the role of a farmer one day, if he was caught by those people outside I know, I have to laugh at him to death.
However, digging the ground and growing vegetables with my wife seems to be a good feeling.
In two days, the two of them organized all the vegetable plots in the huge backyard.
There are a total of twelve pieces of land, large and small, and each piece is rectangular, about three points in length.
Mu Qingli has already arranged for the innermost piece to build a shed with bamboo and tree trunks, and plant pumpkins, wax gourds, gourd melons, pumpkins, chayote and other melons.
A variety of vegetables commonly used as seasonings such as ginger, garlic, green onions, shallots, leeks, celery, and coriander. There are already a lot of three-point land, but these vegetables can be stored in the space after they are planted.
Mu Qingli even made up her mind to let Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan walk around twice a day to monitor, harvest and store in the space when they are mature. Anyway, since they are going to go out in the future, it is better to hurry up and save as much as possible. The more the better.
The growth cycle of these seasoning vegetables is relatively short, especially shallots and leeks, which can be harvested once every 20 to 30 days.
Garlic can be harvested from garlic seedlings and garlic sprouts, and the growth cycle of celery and parsley is not long. Of course, in addition to harvesting a crop when it is fresh and tender, you must also leave a few plants to continue to grow, bloom and bear fruit-this is how you can continuously harvest seeds. .
Cabbage, green vegetables, radishes, etc. Although Mu Qingli is not sure how often they can harvest a crop, but they will know when they are planted.
Chinese cabbage can be harvested when it is curled and firm, and radish can be harvested when it grows to the size of the mouth of a teacup. As for green vegetables, it is the kind that can keep peeling off the grown leaves, and then the leaves continue to grow.
The same is true for choy sum, which can be pinched off when it grows out, and the mother body can continue to grow after pinching off.
For these vegetables, Mu Qingli plans to plant a piece of land for each of them.
Cucumbers, long beans, and bitter melons are planted in one piece of land. A field of lettuce and lettuce, a field of lettuce and cauliflower, and a field of peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants. A mixture of other miscellaneous species is also planted in a piece of land.
What is left is potatoes and corn.
In this way, the entire vegetable garden is quite rich in various vegetable types.
Although there is no way to find any fertilizer, Mu Qingli feels that with the ground milk, watering these vegetables is enough to make them grow well.
That day, the two of them had tidied up the vegetable plot and were building a melon shelf when Mu Sangu and Zhang Zishan came.
The rainy season has finally passed, and Mu Sangu is also a little worried about Mu Qingli and the others, wondering if they are doing well.
Seeing a few smiling faces and full of energy, Xiaoyaer and Xiaoluan seemed to have a little flesh on their faces, Mu Sangu put her arms around Xiaoyaer and said with a smile: "It seems that you are doing well, so I don't worry about that." Already!"
"We're fine, so are Sangu and Uncle San? If you need help with anything, don't be polite to us!" Mu Qingli said again.
As he spoke, he carefully looked at Mu Sangu's complexion, and said, "Why do I feel that Sangu looks a bit haggard, and her complexion is not very good, is it because there is not enough food during the rainy season?"
Mu Qingli was a little puzzled, she and Mo Yunshen had delivered food to them, plus what they stored themselves, it should be enough.
After all, there are only two of them.
Sangu Mu suddenly felt a little unnatural, coughed and said with a busy smile: "Where is it not enough? Enough is enough, it is enough! We have a lot of storage, and you gave so much later! This time Staying at home every day, looking at the rainy weather, how can you look better? Now that the rainy season is over, it will gradually get better! Hey, are you planning to grow vegetables? This is good, more varieties, dried You can eat it in winter, and it happens to be in your yard, so it's very close and convenient!"
For a while, he laughed and asked if he needed their help?
Mu Qingli smiled when she heard the words: "We have tidied up the vegetable fields, we can just plant the seeds later, no need for help!"
Mu Sangu saw the same thing, smiled and nodded without insisting, but glanced at the melon shelf that was just set up and asked curiously what it was?
