With so many people coming and going in the new house, she really regarded her home as a model house.
Grandma You proudly said that next year there will be at least three families in the village who want to build houses similar to hers.
We sit around the fire every day and it’s the twelfth lunar month, officially entering 2006.
The seeds You Yu bought have also been received one after another. The old man has already done the work of disinfecting and composting the seedbed soil, and is just waiting to show off his skills.
The seedlings grown in the open field by Uncle Ye and his family can be regrown in March. It is quite easy to raise only 50,000 tomato seedlings for the villagers.
I drank a tube of concentrated liquid, and the seeds used were less than 200g, and the water mixed with it was as thick as last year.
"Grandpa, why do you sow seeds directly this time instead of using nutrient cups?" Is there any standard for seedling raising methods?
"Seedlings sown in greenhouses in spring tend to grow taller and crooked. Once they reach ten centimeters, they can be transplanted into a nutrient cup to strengthen the seedlings. When planting in the ground, the seedlings are not allowed to die, and the growth period is also shortened."
"My father knows a lot, he's so awesome!"
Grandpa You: Learn now and sell now, it’s quite useful!
The seedbed where the seeds were spread was watered thoroughly, and the old man also covered them with a layer of mulch.
Without waiting for You Yu to ask, he took the initiative to explain the function of mulch to his granddaughter:
"The mulch can keep people warm, and the water vapor in the ground will fall back when it is pulled up, so the mud on the seedbed will not be short of water."
"Can the tomato seeds still breathe through the mulch? After the seeds germinate, aren't they blocked by the mulch from growing upward?"
"The seeds are in the mud, and they can't breathe? After seeing that most of the seeds have sprouted, just peel off the mulch!"
"I learned it!" I'll write it down in my notebook when I get back.
Seeing that the thermometer in the greenhouse showed only 18 degrees, the old man decided to set up a small 30-centimetre-high greenhouse on the mulch.
You Yu: Matryoshka dolls have four layers of skin!
After easily raising the tomato seedlings, You Yu felt a little worried when he saw about six hundred of them, one to two or two each.
How to use the concentrate for such large seeds?
She currently has a total of 32 bottles of concentrated liquid in her hand. Even if she uses them all, it won't be enough to soak the red potatoes in them.
Afraid that the old man and the others would discover the secret of the concentrated liquid, You Yu didn't even want to give her milk a taste of half a sweet potato.
Red potatoes from SD are long and spindle-shaped (with a fat center and pointed ends). The skin is light purple and the flesh inside is slightly yellow.
Seeing his granddaughter scratching her hair, the old man became impatient: "Which red potato plant needs to be disinfected? I don't think it takes up much space in the greenhouse."
"Grandpa, I have a good breed inside, a big, good breed! It's not the ordinary stuff, and the shipping cost is so expensive."
"Anyway, red potato buds are the best. For disinfection, just kill the red potato sprouts!" The old man couldn't think of a good way, and his granddaughter's classmates couldn't get enough disinfectant.
"Does the red potato have a head or tail?" The entry-level player, who has almost a year of experience growing vegetables, is confused.
"The short end is the skull, and the tails are long and thin."
Grandpa You: Children who grow up in rural areas have no common sense at all!
In this case, the soaking volume has been greatly reduced. She is really a genius!
Although, they are still not as valuable as vegetables.
The concentrate does not need to be configured according to the standard. Youyu boldly used a ratio of 10g per bottle to 10kg of water.
I reluctantly drank ten bottles of concentrated liquid and mixed it with a hundred pounds of water to soak the red potato head.
Why! It's an experiment. If it doesn't work this time, just improve it once in a generation!
Concentrate, if you keep it for three to five years, it will be enough, right?
Watching the master raise red potato seedlings is another sight, which is different from all vegetable seeds.
First, dig a shallow pit five meters long, one meter wide, and twenty centimeters deep in the shed next to the tomato seedlings.
Then place the red sweet potatoes densely and diagonally in the pit, with the head of the sweet potato pointing upward, and press one-third of the tail of the sweet potato in front.
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder would probably love doing this job. You Yu was caught by her father and put things in the wrong order several times from time to time.
After coding, water the red potatoes and water them all at once!
Then cover the pit with a layer of nutrient soil of 10 to 15 cm.
Finally, a small 30-centimeter-high arch was erected over the pit and covered with plastic film.
Hey, this baby Hongtao is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and can only wear three pieces of clothing.
"One hundred and twenty kilograms of red potato seedlings from mother and son are only enough to plant two acres of land at most. Where do you plan to plant them?"
"My vegetable plot will definitely be freed up in March, and it will be the right time to plant the seedlings at that time. I will have people plant seedlings on the other acre of seedlings on the Hongniba Mountain."
"Red potato can be planted anywhere, whether it's sandy land or mountainous land." According to the old man's opinion, planting his sandy land is a waste.
No matter how bad the sandy land is, growing cherry radish is still better than growing red potato.
As if seeing through the old man's little thoughts, You Yu said with a smile: "They said it is a high-quality red potato. When I save the red potato seeds this year, I will plant 180 acres next year for my uncle to roast and sell!"
Grandpa You didn't say anything anymore. His grandson was from another generation, but his eldest daughter was still close to him after all.
Silently, I was very interested in the red potato sprouts.
In the twelfth lunar month, the weather gets colder and colder.
With the newly made duvet, the You family said it was quite warm at night.
The down jacket I customized myself has plenty of duck down, and it’s enough to wear a sweatshirt underneath!
It rained and snowed for several times, and many vegetables grown in the open air were shivering. Only the dark Hongshan cabbage sprouts were full of energy.
The petioles and veins of her vegetable sprouts have changed from purple-black to ink color, and the thick leaves are also green and black.
It has nothing to do with the scarlet letter at all, so You Yu gave them a new name, Mo Song.
It's a pity that the cabbage sprouts haven't been taken out yet.
I wonder if she is pregnant with Nezha? !
She wasn't in a hurry, she had already walked ninety-nine steps, and she was still missing this shiver?
Eight acres, more than 20,000 seeds!
She and the old man were each responsible for half of it, which made their heads spin. It took three days to check it all.
Growers also often communicate with each other about the growth process of vegetable sprouts, and the situations are quite different.
Unexpectedly, the cabbage sprouts that were pulled out first were actually at Uncle Ye's house.
Just after finishing a large pot of Laba porridge that Grandma You had stewed on the stove, You Yu received a call from Uncle Ye.
"Hahaha..." Youyu's ears were buzzing from her uncle's laughter through the phone.
"Xiaoyu, my tribute vegetable has bolted, bolted! It grew with flowers and buds! It's only three inches tall and has seven roots!"
"Uncle, I think your family will be able to sell a lot before the Spring Festival. You can add another dish to the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Hahaha, I'll call Director Jiang right now and invite her to my house for a try..."
If it weren't for the muddy mountain road after the rain, You Yu would have wanted to walk and have a look.
After receiving the news, the eight acres of farmers became restless.
For what?
I’m looking forward to it being ripe and want to take a bite!
They don't expect to sell it for fifty yuan a catty. They are satisfied with five yuan a catty.
