On the vast land, less than one-sixth of the area is now planted with vegetables, and the empty scene does not feel desolate, but can clearly feel the fullness and joy after the harvest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Li slowed down the speed of the chestnuts, and walked to the land that had not yet been harvested, the one closest to the corn field, the tender green leaves opened like an octopus, and there was no fruit on the ground, but people couldn't recognize it at a glance, it was a carrot, the chestnut seemed to smell the familiar aroma, and couldn't help but raise his front hooves, calling for Lu Li to pull two carrots to quench his thirst.

Lu Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the growth cycle of carrots varies according to different varieties, the length of cultivation time will vary, and this batch of carrots planted in Yunding Ranch is expected to be harvested at the beginning of next month. It has grown now, but the fruit has not yet reached the level of harvest. No wonder chestnuts are so excited.

Bending down and hugging the chestnut's neck, he patted it gently, "Good fellow, don't worry, your food is already prepared in the stable." Lu Li's words did not appease the chestnut, the little guy still walked forward, Lu Li pulled the reins, and the chestnut snorted twice dissatisfiedly, but after all, he still did not continue to move forward.

Lu Li gently tugged on the reins and motioned for the chestnut to change direction, but the chestnut still looked reluctant, kept looking back at the carrot field, and the footsteps were constantly repeated in the same place. This is a windfall.

Lu Li kicked with both feet, and the chestnut took a step. One step and three times back, it describes people's attachment, but now in Lu Li's opinion, chestnuts are in such a state, which really makes people laugh.

In a piece of land next to it, the plant has dark green leaves, it is not tall, it looks like it is only as tall as a small arm, and the fluffy branches hang green fruits, which are not big at the moment, and seem to be inconspicuous, but in the next two months they will swell up like balloons, this is the tomato.

It's just that the petite and cute fruit in front of me doesn't look like a tomato at all, but like a small and cute cherry tomato, and I don't know what it will taste like when it is fully grown in the future.

Tomatoes have a relatively long growth cycle, and it is estimated that they can be harvested after the corn is harvested, as well as the green peppers planted next to it.

The smell of green peppers wafted in the air, and it was not strong yet, and the fruits hanging on each plant were guessed to have just grown, far from being formed, but the clusters of fruits were really lovely, some pocket-sized, curious, but also far away. There were still a few steps away from the field, and Chestnut was already reluctant to take a step, even if Lu Li drove him, he was just standing still.

Originally, the main reason for growing green peppers was that its strong smell had the effect of repelling pests, but now it can be seen from the reaction of chestnuts that the effect is better than expected, and the instinctive intuition of animals makes them feel repulsed.

Before that, lettuce, celery, kale and other vegetables were grown directly, and the fruits that could be used were all above the ground, and they were all leaf plants, but the remaining vegetables showed different characteristics, especially tomatoes and green peppers, which were immediately reminiscent of the golden autumn harvest. And, of course, the edamame that was harvested yesterday.

Unlike Leilan sheep and Angus cattle, the harvest of the organic farm can be clearly seen with both eyes, and the joy brought by such an intuitive feeling is also slightly different, which makes Lu Li's footsteps can't help but stop and don't want to leave.

However, after looking around for a long time, he didn't see Randy, which was really not normal. Because Randy, like Brandon, spends almost all of his time on the organic farm, leaving early in the morning and returning in the evening, either in the main house, eating, or being busy in the farmland, working, that's all people have of Randy.

Lu Li motioned for the chestnut to start again, but the chestnut refused to approach the green pepper, which made Lu Li cry and laugh, "If you don't want to go over, then take a detour." Go around in a circle, and then go back again. ”

Chestnut seemed to understand this, and ran in the direction of the valley, making a small arc, before running forward, far behind him the pungent aroma of green peppers. I don't know if it's Lu Li's delusion, he always feels that the speed of chestnuts is a little faster than usual-is it that green peppers make people so disgusted?

He remembers that Americans hated broccoli more than green peppers. So, this is to say, the chestnut diet system and the Americans ...... Well, that's a matter of course, apparently he's overthinking.

"Fourteen!"

A shout whistled past his ears, Lu Li didn't have time to look at it at all, and the sound disappeared into the wind, he had to tighten the reins of his horse, then turned around and ran back quickly, Tony stood up straight from between the vineyards, waved his hand at Lu Li, and before Lu Li left, another person stood up straight from a ridge away.

"Hey, Randy!" Lu Li took the initiative to say hello, "Why are you here?" I thought the organic farm was still busy. ”

"Yes, there's still a lot to be done there. Randy smiled widely, "Still, I need a little help here, so I'll make a cameo on the spot, just like Tony helped us with all the harvest yesterday." ”

"Do you need my help? This vineyard is not something that two people can handle. Lu Li looked back and looked down the south side, the mighty green seemed to have no end at all, gradually changing from dark green to light, layer after layer, like layers of waves, the natural gradient of color was so thrilling under the golden sunlight, as if standing in a sea of green.

It was originally a last resort planting test, but unexpectedly, it unexpectedly harvested a gift from nature.

"No, I don't. Tony waved his hand and smiled widely, "Welcome back to the ranch, it's been a long time." How's it going, are all right with Mr. L and Ms. L?"

"They're all very nice, and they miss you a little bit, and they miss the ranch at the same time. Tony's warm welcome and Randy's bright smile made Lu Li truly realize that he had returned to Texas from New York, and this enthusiasm and cheerfulness were important benchmarks to distinguish the two places. "Now it seems that the ranch is running smoothly without me. ”

"That's what we do, isn't it? Otherwise, your wages will go to waste. Tony's answer made both Lu Li and Randy laugh.

"It seems that it is time to take a look at the results of the ranch. Lu Li put on a boss posture and said solemnly. This time, it was Tony's and Randy's turn to laugh. "So, what are you doing now?" Lu Li carefully looked at the work in the hands of the two people, but there was still no clue, completely confused.

"The other day, we did a simple fixing of the vines and roots, and with the help of everyone, it took two days before and after. However, among them, it is inevitable that there are still some omissions, today we are carrying out a second confirmation, if necessary, with a wire for a second fixation, I hope that in the next rainy season, the wind will not be too out of line. Otherwise, this batch of Pinot Noir will be in danger. ”

Toni opened his mouth to explain, and then Randy, who was standing next to him, added, "We don't want the accident caused by the heavy rain last time to happen again, so Toni needs to prepare in advance." ”

Lu Li suddenly realized.

Pinot Noir is very delicate, it needs plenty of rain to water, but it can't withstand too much wind and frost, and it also needs to be protected from enough sunlight and temperature in summer. Even in Burgundy, climate change from year to year causes the final wine to taste different.

Therefore, when people mention Burgundy's Pinot Noir red wine, they will particularly emphasize that the 2005 vintage was particularly good, and the production of Burgundy that year was almost not bad, because the rain and temperature of that year were rare and excellent, and the wine produced was naturally exceptional, which also made the wine price of that year particularly expensive, with tasting value and more collectible value.

Even with the protection of space springs, the impact of the climate is still crucial.

"I just saw that the grapes are already starting to bear fruit, albeit in small bunches. Lu Li glanced at it just now, and among the first batch of vines with cuttings, you can already see the grape fruit bunches, the whole grape bunches are not large, they are dense and tightly together, and the color of the person looks like jade.

Lu Li had picked grapes before, but they were edible grapes, and he had never seen grapes specifically used to make wine, so he was a little curious to see if it would look different in the end.

"Yes, the first week has already borne fruit, and what I am most worried about now is the last batch, it is really too late, I hope the temperature will be high enough this summer. With that, Tony looked at Randy, "I also have to thank Randy for helping me keep track of the development of the entire campus, which will be crucial for next year's planting." ”

The amount of water in the vineyard's spatial springs is allocated according to the proportion of organic farms, so he did not record the development and changes of the timeline as strictly as before. However, Lu Li also knows that even if it is the same space spring, the effect on different plants is different, just like the effects of lettuce and kale are different, and now Lu Li is also looking forward to the fruits of tomatoes and green peppers.

By the way, the edamame has been harvested, so you can go back and see it later.

"Remember, don't eat these grapes. Tony's warning voice came over with a smile on his face, "These are inedible. Some people, because of greed, try it, that taste...... God, you know, the fruit hasn't even grown yet. ”

As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Randy.

Randy whistled, a light-hearted look.
