Chapter 272: Honey Spirit Lavender
The job of a breeder, simple but tedious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć In addition to studying runes day after day, they spend a lot of time searching for plants and refining seeds.
Although the alien space is not known how far away from the earth, Lin Zeng's way of life has gradually become a very professional breeder.
Research, refining, researching, refining. He doesn't find this lifestyle too boring.
The day before he was ready to leave for Meixian, Lin Zeng harvested a batch of seeds of new varieties from the refining furnace.
The raw material of this batch of seeds comes from fresh lavender bought on the Internet.
Five catties of flowers, he used a lot of rune recipes and other refining methods, and there were eight varieties of final formation.
Some of the trees have changed their flower color, some are suitable for indoor planting, and some are always blooming in all seasons, and the seeds of this variety obtained this time are a good lavender variety that is dreamy in color, suitable for outdoor planting, blooms all year round in all seasons, and is easy to survive.
However, the reason why Lin Zeng felt happy was not the above factors.
Rather, this lavender is an excellent nectar source plant.
Or rather, it is the flower that appears for the nectar of lavender.
"It's really a farm that is perfect for Jiang Hua. Lin Zeng looked at the small lilac seed in his palm and muttered to himself.
He always remembered that he promised Jiang Hua to help her find suitable plants for planting.
Lin Zeng was not very satisfied with the ones he had refined before, until this lavender variety called "Honey Lingxiang" appeared.
The seeds bred from the breeders are tenacious and fast-growing, and these dominant forests have long been accustomed to it. He now analyzes a plant, focusing on the special properties of this plant.
Honey spirit lavender, its nectar glands are extremely developed, the nectar content is very large, bees can pick up all year round. For every 100 square meters of planting area, about half a catty of raw honey can be harvested every month.
The natural ripe honey formed by bee brewing can reduce the moisture by about 20%, and about 200 grams of Lingxiang honey can be harvested.
Lingxiang honey is a special honey made by this bee collecting this lavender. It preserves the essence of the lavender plant to the greatest extent.
Taken internally, the taste regulates the stomach, liver, and respiratory system, and promotes cell activity. Applied externally to the skin, it has a powerful repair effect, promotes acne inflammation, and rapid healing of skin with knife wounds and burns.
After Lin Zeng saw the introduction of its attributes, he immediately decided to cultivate the honey spirit aroma lavender immediately.
According to Jiang Hua, the Chinese bees she breeds have a very short honey harvest period every year. In addition to the season when lychee longan flowers are in full bloom, it is close to the end of autumn and early winter to collect winter honey. When the weather is bad, such as when it rains during the flowering period, the honey of the season will not be harvested.
If Jiang painted a large area of nectar source plants, she would be able to harvest honey regularly every month.
Lin Zeng felt that this was a very good idea.
Although Jianghua's farm is not large, it is connected to the back mountain and has more than a dozen acres of land. If you plant honey lavender, the amount of nectar that can be harvested every month is very large.
For ordinary lavender, it takes about 18-20 weeks from sowing to flowering. Honey lavender, on the other hand, only takes 3-4 weeks for the jacarinas to bloom one after another.
Lin Zeng imagined in his heart that the farm, covered with dreamy purple lavender, with a peaceful fragrance of flowers, and bees flying among the flowers, was simply a beautiful fairyland.
Lin Zeng quickly walked to the first floor, found a hoe, and dug a row of small holes in the corner of the wall next to the small red brick building at a distance of about 80 centimeters. After digging, he planted the seeds of the honey lavender with one grain per small hole, and finally covered the soil.
The fertilizer microns produced by this refining were not intended to be used by Lin Zeng in other places, and were all used to promote the growth of honey spirit lavender. So immediately melted two fertilized micronos and fertilized the lavender.
If the daily fertilizer and water micronos continue, it will take about a week for these honey lavender to grow and form.
At that time, Lin Zeng was able to rely on these lavender as raw materials to refine a large number of honey spirit incense seeds.

After getting off work on Friday, Jiang Hua cleaned up his desk, walked briskly out of school, walked back to the bachelor apartment near the school, picked up Po, and drove directly back to the farm.
During the rush hour on Friday, I spent two hours stuck in traffic on the road before returning to my farm.
A small farm on the outskirts of the city, far away from the crowds, has a quiet atmosphere that is very different from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Jiang Hua parked his car in the garage and planned to walk into the kitchen through the back door of the villa.
The golden retriever Po is like being liberated and happily on the farm. After living in a cramped bachelor apartment for a few days, Po was really uncomfortable.
When Jiang Hua walked to the back door, but did not open the door immediately, her eyes were attracted by the rocking chair by the door.
Underneath the armrests of her rocking chair, she saw two lovely fruits the size of grapefruit.
It clings to the surface of the armrest of the rocking chair and looks very secure.
Jiang Hua squatted down curiously, looked at it for a while, and then reached out to easily pick the plump fruit.
It turns out that this is what Lin Zeng said about milk fruit?
The portion is a little insufficient.
Jiang Hua shook his head and thought unsatisfied. I feel that these two small fruits, the milk produced, is not enough to stuff my teeth.
After picking the milk fruit, Jiang Hua found a large handful of plant leaves and weeds growing on the ground according to Lin Zeng's explanation, and stuffed them into the nutrition bag of the milk fruit rocking chair.
Originally, according to the yield of milk fruits, the number of milk fruits that could be harvested in a week was far more than this.
However, Jiang Hua was not on the farm for many days, and the milk fruit plant could only digest the material she had stuffed when she left, and after digesting it, it did not grow any milk fruit.
"Try it, what does this plant-based milk taste like, it is said that you can adjust the taste of the plant according to the owner's preferences, well, what kind of drink do I like? mango juice, strawberry juice, or Sprite. After Jiang Hua entered the villa, he turned on the lights and talked to himself.
The golden retriever was jubilant and obediently followed Jiang Hua into the kitchen.
"I feel like I like to eat it. Jiang Hua didn't come up with an answer, but slapped the table and suddenly realized.
Jiang Hua put two milk fruits on the cooking table and began to prepare dinner.
Dinner is very simple, there is a marinated steak in the ice, take out four slices, put it in the oven to thaw, and then fry it in butter and drizzle it with ready-made black pepper sauce, it is a hard dish that meat lovers love.
Simmer a pot of fragrant white rice, braise a few potatoes, and a solid dinner, and you're done.
Finally, of course, there is the dinner of Miss Po the Golden Retriever, Po's favorite dog food and fragrant barbecue jerky.
Jiang Hua eats quickly, less than three minutes. Just a piece of steak meat and eat a bowl of rice. The gurgling in her stomach stopped for a moment before she picked up a milk fruit and prepared to taste it.
The knife made a small opening on top of the milk fruit, took a disposable straw from the cupboard, and sucked in the juice of the milk fruit.
The milk contained in each milk fruit was only about 250 milliliters, and Jiang Hua drank it all in one go.
"Wow, my favorite thing is the taste of iced sweet water at the grocery store next to my hometown when I was a kid. (To be continued.) )
