These small tomatoes are not just planted, don't worry about it, and there is some work during the period.

You don't need to pay much attention to watering, the main thing is to water a little more for the first time, which is called planting water, mainly for the rooting of plants. This is not only for small tomatoes, but also for transplanting almost all plants, and it also needs to be watered thoroughly for the first time. Subsequently, water is not needed much. Especially in spring, it is enough to have a rainy day.

Also, when the harvest is about to be harvested, it's best not to water it yet, as the fruit will crack easily.

After that, there is one more important work, which is pruning. Limited growth of varieties, try to promote its growth, has been left in the upper part of the two strong side branches, so that it grows upward, pay attention to the balance of the number of leaves and the number of fruits, if the growth is too weak, you can remove part of the flower buds, unlimited growth type is not to early maturity as the goal, can be double-rod pruning, because the price of seeds is higher. But the production of multiple rows of single-stem pruning.

Cherry tomato plants are tall and poorly erect, and when the plant grows to 50 cm, it is inserted to prevent lodging. The growth of side branches is strong, and the double trunk pruning is generally carried out, leaving 2 strong branches first, and the others are erased. Generally, it is not topped, and the old leaves on the lower part are removed in time when they turn yellow to reduce nutrient consumption.

At the same time, it is best to start adding some fertilizer when flowering and fruiting to meet its needs for high yield and absorption.

When it is time to bloom, it is also necessary to thin the flowers in order to preserve the fruit. Of course, small tomatoes often fall flowers and fruits, which may also affect early ripening and yield.

The main reasons for this are: first, cloudy and rainy days, insufficient light; The second is improper cultivation management. In addition, the seedlings are too long during planting, the plant injury is too serious, the watering is uneven, the soil is dry and wet, the water is out of balance during the flowering period, the flower stalk is formed out of layer, and the water and fertilizer are insufficient, which will cause malnutrition and flower drop. The soil is not fertilized in moderation, more or less.

So. You may not have to do a lot of work, but you need to come back and have a few looks, which is very necessary. At the same time, you can also check whether the tomatoes are diseased, and the common diseases are early blight, late blight, virus disease, gray mold, etc.

When he turned around, Chu Jiaqiang saw a girl sitting under a tree in the backyard. In front of her was an easel with some tools for painting.

This girl is supposed to be drawing swans. But the swan stood still stupidly. Let others draw. Seeing this scene, Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but chuckle. These swans are relatives, very cooperative, and usually take pictures. So tourists also prefer them. Of course, after the shooting, you'd better give them something to eat. Wrap up your feelings.

Hearing Chu Jiaqiang's laughter, the girl raised her head. She obviously knew Chu Jiaqiang, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, why are you so free today?" ”

"Ugh! Do you know me? Chu Jiaqiang was a little embarrassed, after all, people knew him, and he didn't even know their names. So I don't know how to say hello.

"Hee-hee! Who in this village doesn't know you? The girl was even amier.

Chu Jiaqiang touched his nose. It seems that this is the case. There are very few people in the whole village who don't know him, and it's those tourists. After a day or two, I basically recognized it.

"I haven't had much to do these days, so I was foolish at the beginning, and besides, if I was free, no one in this village would know, and it would almost become a sign of a lazy worm." Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

"No

Brother Chu, what did you say? You are busy and idle, this kind of mentality is very valuable, anyway, many people can't envy it. The girl spoke.

The two chatted for a while, and Chu Jiaqiang got to know this girl, and heard her say that she was a student at an art school. This time I also came here, in addition to traveling, there is also a purpose is to sketch.

Sketching is a kind of painting method, looking at landscapes, people, objects, etc. to paint, collecting materials, is also a training method for learning to paint, can achieve a two-dimensional plane with a sense of three-dimensional space is a good work.

There are many types of painting methods, such as "landscape sketching", "still life sketching", and "portrait sketching", depending on the object depicted. Generally, sketching is not used as a finished painting, but only to collect materials for the work, but gradually some painters directly use the method of sketching to create, especially the painters of Impressionism, who often use landscape sketching to directly depict fleeting changes in light and shadow, so they are sometimes called "exterior painters".

In the past, when Chu Jiaqiang was studying, he often saw such art students sketching everywhere, and most of them were girls, maybe girls are more suitable for this, at least compared to many boys, they can calm down, observe carefully, and learn by heart.

Of course, this is a Western way of painting. Nowadays, young people are learning from the outside world, and there are not many traditional painting methods in their own country. This is actually similar to the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine.

This can't be blamed on the students, China's culture is too broad and profound, and there is no effect in a short period of time. However, this society is all about speed and efficiency. In this way, many traditional things in China can only be choked by themselves.

Western painters attach great importance to sketching, mainly using sketching to collect materials; Chinese painters generally rely mainly on seeing and memorizing, and some painters also "copy the brush", but although the vast majority of ancient painters also emphasized "learning from nature", they only enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers, and wrote from memory after returning home. It is also mainly because Chinese painting tools are not easy to carry and use in the wild.

At this time, the swan actually came over, looked at the picture that had not yet been drawn, and touched it with his mouth a few times.

Chu Jiaqiang suddenly laughed and scolded: "You stupid goose! ”

"This swan is so funny, it just looks at me while I'm sitting here. At first, I didn't really want to draw geese, but when I saw this, I changed my mind. This goose is so well-behaved, unlike those big white geese who saw me sitting here and wanted to drive me away. If it weren't for an old grandmother who greeted them, they probably wouldn't have answered. The girl said very happily.

She picked up the swan and took the camera off her neck: "Brother Chu, help me take a photo." ”

This is also her habit, every time she paints an object, after she paints it, she will take another picture with her camera, so that she can compare what she can achieve.

Taking pictures is also very familiar to the swan, stretching his neck over, very cooperative.

"Okay, watch the posture! One two three! Chu Jiaqiang helped her take several photos in a row. After the swan took a photo, he still looked at Chu Jiaqiang and the others.

Chu Jiaqiang was speechless for a while, and said secretly: I said how can this guy be so cooperative, and he wants benefits. He had to catch a few fish and shrimp for it to eat: "You guy, you have it in the ditch, but you have to be sent to your mouth." ”
