Day 40, My Little Courtyard (Part II)

After all these treasures were planted, I watered them again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I haven't really grown vegetables before, and I don't know if it's the right thing to do, I just hope that they will actually grow, even if only one seedling will emerge in the end, I will take good care of it.

In order to prevent Xiao Hei from unintentionally stepping on it, I used some small branches to fence off the vegetable patch.

Looking around, at a glance, there is a little taste of home here......

Tree house, vegetable garden, fence ......

However, there are still some gaps between this and my ideal courtyard, and I still hope to improve it as much as possible.

It rains a lot, and every time it rains, it gets very muddy, and it's a very bad experience, so I dragged the plastic box of rotten cabbage from the cabin to the bottom of the mountain, not to find food, but to pick up stones!

There was a lot of gravel near the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, and these small gravel were also what I needed, and they were all picked up by me and packed into plastic boxes.

I also put some flat, slightly larger rocks in, and it took me almost no time to fill the plastic basket because there were so many of them.

I seem to have forgotten a key question, though......

The plastic basket is so heavy that it will likely break when you hold it, and it's still a question of whether I can pick it up.

So, I have to think about transportation again......

Luckily, I came up with a solution that wasn't the best.

It was still a vine, so I first went to find a few vines, lifted one end of the plastic basket, passed the vines through the bottom of the plastic basket, and then, after wrapping the whole plastic basket, tied it in a knot and tied it to death.

All five vines operate the same way.

I did this to minimize wear and tear on the bottom of the plastic basket, and then the rest would be very viney, tied tightly to the rim of the basket and the other end tied around my waist!

Fortunately, it went very smoothly, but it was really tiring.

After pouring the stones and rubble down, I set off again......

After about eight shipments, I looked at a large pile of rocks and gravel and started to stop carrying them.

That's right, I'm ready to start implementing my idea.

These stones I am going to pave the path that leads from the door of my yard to the hut, the vegetable garden, the swing, the drying area, and so on......

I wanted to create the feeling that the winding path led to a secluded place, and I thought that if it was paved well, it wouldn't be impossible.

I try to avoid places where the sun shines through the shade of the trees, and spread the stones under the shade of the trees, which is easy to relax and feel comfortable in this sparse environment.

That's what I'm looking forward to.

The large boulders were laid out by me according to the size and shape of the stones, according to the imagination in my mind.

Of course, there is some distance between each stone, almost exactly one step away.

The reason why it is paved like this is because it saves stones, after all, it is still very tiring to transport this ghostly thing, and the other point is that I have seen the gravel roads or cobblestone roads they paved in civilized societies before, all like this.

So, according to my imagination, I also finished it step by step.

Some of the big rocks are not so flat, so I try to put the uneven side underneath and dig out some of the soil to ensure the flatness of the stones.

Those small pebbles were embedded in the gap between the big stones.

In this way, when I was dizzy and numb in my legs, I finally paved the gravel road from the tree house to the entrance of the yard.

"Whew!" I let out a deep breath, stood up, and took a few hard breaths of fresh air.

This kind of action can relieve my fatigue a little.

I can't rest yet......

The yard didn't meet my requirements, so I couldn't rest yet.

In the yard, there are still many places that can be used, so I decided to develop a small garden and transplant some small wildflowers from the outside, different, exuding various fragrances, which can not only be pleasing to the eye, but also have a charming fragrance that can be spread around the yard in normal times, and the key small wildflowers do not need to be taken care of.

Such small wildflowers, everywhere, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all kinds of colors compete with each other, I am not here to eat, so I don't need to worry about whether it is poisonous or not, it should have taken about an hour, all kinds of fragrant small wildflowers, has been covered with the plastic basket used to transport stones just now.

Nature is amazing, and the scent of these little flowers is like a mixed perfume!

It looks like the scent of lavender, peony, etc., and even has the scent of apple and taro!

Of course, there are also stinky ones, no, the one I just picked was actually the smell of rotten eggs, and I took a deep breath and almost didn't get smoked to death.

Of course, I didn't pull out the flowers in these plastic frames, but I dug them up directly with a knife at the roots, and dug out their rhizomes along with the soil.

Like transplanting trees, these little wildflowers, dug up, with mud blocks, ended up in the basket with great care.

It is not difficult to grow flowers, and the area that I have divided into a small garden is one that can receive sunlight, and it is on a raised piece of land next to the tree house, which is not easy to accumulate water.

Speaking of stagnant water, I haven't dug a drainage canal these days, and it often rains on this small island, but because of the good weather these days, I have been paralyzed and I almost forgot about it......

"Hey, the brain is a good thing. I rubbed my temples.

The small wildflowers have all been planted, not very much, this is also an experiment, I don't want to do useless work, if the experiment is successful, I can scale it up again.

Originally, I was going to rest, but once I thought about the drain, I thought of the last time I was sick, and the feeling of struggling with life and death made me shiver under the scorching sun!

The sun was about to set, and my kitchen knives were digging hard, and to be honest, they helped me a lot, and the digging speed was much faster.

The excavation of the drain went well, my treehouse was already on the slightly raised ground, and I dug a drain all around and connected them with the outside of the small yard, which I had just dug and surrounded the drain.

Eventually, I dug a large hole in the moat-like drainage channel outside the yard, which led to the hollow woodland in front of me.

In this way, when it rains, even when it rains, as long as the large sunken woodland in the distance is not flooded, then my hut will be extremely safe.

After this series of busyness, my whole body was completely in pain.

Let's get some food with Xiao Hei, but just as I was about to go back, I seemed to see a dark shadow in the hollow in the distance.

But when I looked closely, I disappeared again.

Probably dazzled, I shook my head and turned and walked towards the treehouse......
