Chapter 6 Herbs or vines

Jiang Bai is an old employee of the Jibei City Library, and in the past two years, the provincial map has been renovated, the environment is beautiful, the old city map is declining, and the readers are scarce.

Jiang Bai, who is close to retirement age, does not have much work every day, and most of his time is spent on his personal hobbies.

He lives on the top floor of the library's staff dormitory.

In the past few years, on the roof of the building, the soil has been moved to make fertilizer, vegetables and melons have been planted, and the small vegetable garden on the top floor has been made prosperous.

Since the little granddaughter uploaded her vegetable garden to the forum of urban farms, Jiang Bai has fallen in love with hanging out in the jar. From time to time, I bask about my achievements throughout the year, and look at the envy and replies of Yishui in the post, and I feel comfortable all over.

For this reason, I even learned to use the computer, wander around the forum, irrigate and chat, and from time to time instruct some novice growers how to grow vegetables.

Today, Tuesday, there was no one in the city library except for a few old men reading newspapers.

He entered the unit, turned on the computer, and clicked on the Caiyou forum.

At this time, a novice's post in the jar attracted his attention.

"My indoor tomatoes, lush, vibrant, and fruitful"

When Jiang Bai saw this title, he felt very unimpressed.

Indoor tomatoes?

When he was young, he grew vegetables in the fields. In the past two years, I have tossed around on the rooftop, and I have a lot of experience in this, and I often point out novices on the website.

Tomatoes, in particular, need good light and adequate nutrients. Raising tomatoes indoors is not without netizens who have tried, but they are not very successful.

Even if the light conditions are good and the flowers and fruits can be produced, the number of fruits is not large. The reason is that most urban vegetable friends are reluctant to use compound fertilizer, and indoors, who dares to use farmhouse fertilizer with a strong smell?

Jiang Bai shook his head and clicked on the post.

I estimated in my heart that it was about another pot of tomatoes that were not strong, and there were just a few fruits scattered around.

To be honest, those who don't have a rooftop, planting tomatoes and cucumbers indoors is a waste of effort, and it is better to send some bean sprouts to eat. Lack of space, planting anything is unreliable.

The forum of the urban farmhouse, the page is refreshing, and the speed is also fast, and when Jiang Bai completely saw the photo posted by the landlord, he was stunned.

What is this thing?

Jiang Bai looked at the green plants crawling all over the walls in the photo with a smile, and then looked at the title of the post, feeling that this landlord was even more unreliable than he imagined.

How can this be a tomato?

Downstairs in the post, there are already a lot of replies.

-- After the identification was completed, the owner of the building was blind

-- Landlord's children's shoes, please go to Baidu to search carefully for pictures of tomatoes, have you ever seen tomatoes crawling all over the wall? This is too unreliable.

-- Poof, this is a tomato? This is a tomato? This is a tomato? Landlord, you have a big tomato in your brain!

……

Tomato is a plant that vegetable friends like to grow very much, and it can be used as both a vegetable and a fruit, which is rich in nutrients. There are many people who grow tomatoes in the jar, but most of them have a well-lit balcony or a rooftop with a top floor to grow a good harvest. Jiang Bai was on the edge of the rooftop, planting more than a dozen different varieties of tomatoes, and now they have borne fruit, and they were only photographed and uploaded two days ago, which attracted the envy of the young people in the jar.

In the urban farmer forum, there are many people who show tomatoes, black tomatoes, green tomatoes, red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, big and small, almost every vegetable friend knows what tomatoes look like.

Anyway, the tomato definitely doesn't look like a creeper.

Jiang Bai shook his head, clicked on the reply area under the post, and entered the text.

――Tomato is a Solanaceae herb, and it needs to be planted with a frame, but it is not a climbing plant, so what kind of plant is planted in the picture?

As soon as Jiang Bai's post was posted, familiar vegetable friends replied one after another, expressing their opinions on the photo of the landlord.

It's just that this landlord called "Urban Seed King" went offline after posting, and there was no reply to netizens' questions and questions.

Jiang Bai waited for a long time, but he didn't see a reliable answer, he made a pot of strong tea, went to the collection to borrow a botanical illustrated book, took a magnifying glass, and began to compare very seriously.

Lin Zeng finished editing the post, and a lunch box of tomatoes was also eaten.

He didn't send all the photos in one go, he only sent the first few. It's good to divide it into upper and lower episodes to attract people.

After finishing the post, Lin Zeng returned to the seedling space.

The vine red jade tomato seeds in the Ding furnace have been refined.

He took off the jade plate on the Ding furnace and found that this time there were many more seeds and fewer impurities. Only five fertiliser neutrinos were harvested, but there were more than fifty seeds.

Most of the reason for this is that he uses the leaves of the mother tree of the vine red jade tomato to refine it, without changing the growth form of the plant itself.

After putting the seeds into the jade box and putting them away, Lin Zeng returned to the attic.

In the attic, the second batch of tomato seedlings had grown to a height of 50 centimeters and began to climb the wall.

Because no probiotic fertilizers were used, this batch of tomatoes grew much slower than the previous batch. But compared to the same tomato seeds, it is very fast.

Lin Zeng measured the height of the three tomatoes and wrote down the characteristics of today's plants in a small notebook.

Compared with the first two, these three trees have greater research value.

After finishing these, Lin Zeng cut out the remaining seven ripe tomatoes today, put them in a plastic bag, took the eight hundred yuan in the pillow, put on flip-flops, and walked to the fifth floor.

Room 502 on the fifth floor is where Lin Zeng's landlord lives.

Pressing the doorbell, it was a smiling old lady who opened the door. The landlord and his wife live here, and the son and daughter each have their own home.

"Oh, Kobayashi, I haven't seen you in a few days, come in, come in. "The old lady is enthusiastic, Lin Zeng's rent was taken by Chen Huanyue to buy a skirt last month, and the old lady didn't rush it.

"Mother-in-law Yu, I was too tight last month, and I didn't have time to pay the rent, so I sent it to you so late. Lin Zeng entered the door, handed over a plastic bag and eight hundred yuan, and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, you've rented a house with me for two years, we can't trust you!" opened his mouth to speak, it was an old man with reading glasses on his nose, the old man Yu was tall and thin, he was very happy to see Lin Zeng coming, put down the newspaper in his hand, and started to make tea for him.

"Ah, why are you still bringing something? Mrs. Yu looked at the contents of the bag, bright red tomatoes, large and clean, with fresh leaves on the fruit pedicles.

"Nothing, not worth much. Lin Zeng took the teacup handed by the old man and waved his hand and said. The landlord and two old men took good care of Lin Zeng, and in the past two years, the rent has not been raised, and it is basically impossible to rent a single room for 800 yuan in this area. Lin Zeng also often helped the two old people carry heavy objects, climb high places, and get along very well.

After drinking two sips of water and eating two pieces of watermelon, Lin Zeng said goodbye, and by the way, helped the old lady take the thick quilt placed in the cabinet on the top of the roof to dry.

Back in the attic, Lin was ready to see how he replied to his post.

He didn't know that on the forum, there was a storm because of his post.
