5. Chapter 5 (Revision)

The little cabbage family likes to eat so much, don't try the cream cabbage next time, this variety of cabbage stalk is white and fat, and it is not as strict as the shrinkage of the small cabbage when fried. Generally, the creamy cabbage bought outside tastes faint of mud and sand, and you need to go through it with boiling water before stir-frying. I don't know how the taste of the space is? Thinking about it, Zeng Tong was also a little greedy, and decided to plant a little in the space after breakfast.

Zeng Tong, who entered the space, found that the tomatoes and eggplants already had flower buds, and between the petioles and branches, small heads appeared, and the tomatoes and eggplants were a bunch of small flowers, but the eggplant could only leave one flower per branch. Zeng Tong learned on the Internet before that eggplants need to thin flowers and fruits, so as to avoid too many fruits on one branch, and the nutrients are not enough to grow. Although the special environment of the space may be able to grow well without vegetables, but there are too many eggplants to eat, Zeng Tong thought about picking some buds.

After processing the buds of a few eggplants, I turned my head to see the garlic on the ground next to me, and remembered the five garlic heads on the dog's roof.

"By the way, I also dried 5 heads of garlic and confiscated it. Zeng Tong got up and walked to the dog house, wanting to see if the garlic was dried. When I arrived, I found that the skin of the garlic had dried out, so I cut off the dry part above the garlic clove so that it could be preserved.

5 heads of garlic, according to the amount of your own home, can be used for about two weeks, after all, there are not too many dishes that need to use garlic as seasoning.

With these garlic heads, Zeng Tong returned to the hut and put the garlic away. From the bag on the ground, turn out the cream cabbage seeds I bought earlier, 100 seeds in aliquots, and a small sealed bag is enough. It is very similar to the seeds of small greens, they are all small round granules.

came to the side of the field, drew a ridge on the edge of the melon field, and used the previous example of planting small greens as a reference, this time Zeng Tong planned to order it. Gently scrape a shallow ditch with a shovel, put 2 seeds at a distance of about 10 cm, plant about half of the seeds left in this ridge, put it away, and plant it after eating this stubble, anyway, the vegetables in the space do not bear seeds, and there is no need to waste more rapeseeds.

Today, Zeng Tong plans to harvest more small greens, cabbage and peppers can not be harvested first, anyway, after observing in the past 2 days, they have not continued to age, so let them continue to grow on the ground. Pull out more garlic and dry it, this is easy to preserve, and you can also plant others in the vacated vegetable field.

This time, the dog's roof was covered with a layer of garlic tied up. "Continue to requisition, what should I do if I dislike the smell of my dog house in the future?" Zeng Tong snickered in his heart.

After pulling out a part of the small greens this time, there are some vacant spaces in the middle, and it is only a matter of time before the number of these small greens is left, and it is only a matter of time before these gaps are filled again. Fortunately, my parents like to eat it, so I can eat it soon if I pull it out a few more times.

Take the sorted greens back to the hut and pack them in a bag. This time he went to the farmers' market, Zeng Tong paid attention to it, and bought a stack of plastic bags from the people in the farmers' market, which were blue biodegradable bags used to sell vegetables in the market. After all, when you go out to buy groceries, when the vendor doesn't provide the bag, this bag can be used for a long time.

The last time I took it home, I used the black bag when I bought the seeds, and it looked awkward to hold the vegetables. After realizing this, Zeng Tong began to pay attention to some details.

In the morning, Zeng Tong still found a way to go out, and when he came back, he brought the vegetables produced in the space, this time in addition to the small greens, there were 5 garlic heads. Zeng's mother was very happy to see it, in Zeng's mother's heart, the food she cooked was loved by her family, whether the ingredients played a decisive role or not, as long as the family ate well, she was the happiest.

Seeing that his mother was happy, Zeng Tong also decided to plant more different kinds of vegetables and fruits in the future space to increase his own dishes. Although it may still arouse suspicion that only she can buy vegetables of this quality, as long as she is careful, she is very satisfied with the happiness of her family.

After eating at noon that day, Zeng Tong entered the space again, ready to turn over the ground that had been plucked with garlic in the morning, and then plant some vine-climbing vegetables, such as cucumbers and peas. This kind of vegetable does not need to occupy a large surface area, as long as it has a good support for it to climb, and the distance between the plants is more than ten or twenty centimeters. Zeng Tong roughly measured it before, and the garlic land was only 7 or 8 square meters, and a small half of it had been pulled, and about 3 square meters were vacant.

Zeng Tong went to look at the tomatoes and eggplants again, and found that the flowers were blooming, but there were many withered flowers lying on the ground.

"Hmm, what's the matter, it only blooms and doesn't bear fruit, shouldn't it......" Zeng Tong scratched his head in confusion.

There are no bees, butterflies and other insects in the space, and these flowers can't be pollinated, so they all fall.

Looking at so many flowers in front of me, if there was no way to pollinate and all the flowers fell, how many tomatoes and eggplants would have been lost!

Zeng Tong, who was thinking about it, decided to go out to find a way to pollinate later, and now it is better to plant some cucumbers first.

went to the hut to get the seeds first, and Zeng Tong found that there were many kinds of melon seeds, including loofah and bitter gourd.

But according to Zeng Tong's memory, the space for the loofah to climb seems to need to be much larger, generally in the countryside in their own yard, they are planted along the corner of the wall, and the vine of the loofah will climb to the wall when it grows, and finally it can extend a large piece, and the loofah bears a large fruit. It seems that the loofah can't be planted first, and it will be said later when there are conditions.

Then plant 3 cucumbers, 2 bitter gourds, and 10 peas, these are planted first, and the materials used to build the scaffold will be found outside later.

After selecting the seeds, Zeng Tong stood up and suddenly realized that in the thatched hut, there were only some seed bags and tools on the ground, and there was no furniture. The excitement of the first 2 days was gone, and I didn't notice that although Zeng Tong planned to use this place as a place to rest, he didn't even have a chair.

"Oops! Zeng Tong slapped his forehead and decided to find a time to go to the furniture market to have a look.

When he came to the ground, Zeng Tong sorted out the vacant position next to the garlic, and first dug a few shallow pits with a shovel, with a spacing of about 20 centimeters. Peas are planted a little closer to the garlic, and cucumbers and bitter melons are on the other side. After covering the soil and watering it, Zeng Tong returned to the hut with his tools.

After visually measuring the area of the hut, I thought about it and decided to add a few things first. Shelves are a must, used to put seeds and tools, harvested fruits and vegetables also need a place to store, at least have a chair to rest, think about the rest.

The amount of money spent on these things is not comparable to the amount spent on seeds and tools before. can only use his own small treasury, most of the New Year's money received every year, rewards and pocket money from the family, etc., Zeng Tong has put it away very well, and opened a bank account after the age of 18 to deposit it. Now there is also one or two hundred thousand in it, so let's use the money to buy it first.

Back in the room, Zeng Tong first looked up the way to pollinate melons and fruits on the Internet, and found that it could be pollinated manually. With a brush or a small brush, each flower is lightly pollened a few times, and then pollinated one by one, although it is troublesome, but there is no way to do it without bees in the space.

If you have the chance, you can find some bees to try in it, and forget about the butterfly, because the larvae of the butterfly are the fat insects of the cabbage green worm, Zeng Tong can ignore the small strong moths, and he is afraid of the soft and wriggling insects, and he will get goosebumps when he sees them.

With the pollination method, Zeng Tong found the brush he used to practice calligraphy, took it and entered the space, squatting in the ground to manually pollinate tomatoes and eggplants.

But Zeng Tong looked around, why didn't he see pollen on these flowers?

Zeng Tong had no choice but to go out of the space to check the information on the Internet, it turned out that tomatoes and eggplants are monoecious, can be self-pollinated, as long as there is wind, gently blow the flowers, the flowers can be vibrated to complete the pollination. There was very little wind in the space, so the flowers that could not be pollinated before all fell.

Knowing this, Zeng Tong returned to the space, gently shaking the branches to pollinate the tomatoes and eggplants.

After getting out of the space, the initial plan was to go to the furniture market in the afternoon.
