Hogwarts Castle is located in the sparsely populated Scottish Highlands, and although its location is relatively remote, it has absolutely nothing to do with desolation and barrenness.

In fact, as the ancestral homestead of the Slytherin family at that time, the abundance of natural resources around Hogwarts can be said to be one of the best in the whole of Scotland.

Leaving aside the Black Lagoon, with its rich aquatic biosphere, and the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, home to a diverse and delicious community of magical animals, beyond the Quidditch pitch north of the castle is a vast expanse of open fertile land and uncultivated low hills, and beyond that are shrubby, low hills.

In the original book, Sirius Black had lived for a long time in a cave on that hill.

"Alright, this will be our Gryffindor garden from now on. Next, it's up to you. ”

Professor McGonagall paused, pointed to the open ground not far from the Quidditch Pitch, and turned to the students behind her, pursing her lips a little softer, looking less serious than before.

Perhaps considering the long-standing conflict between the four houses, and in order to take into account the little pride of the young wizards, the vegetable gardens allocated by the four houses of Hogwarts were not next to each other, but were arranged and decided by each head of the house according to their own ideas.

As a veteran Quidditch fan, Minerva McGonagall naturally took a fancy to the vacant land next to the Quidditch pitch – sunny, flat and open, away from the high-traffic paths.

The most important thing is to be close enough to the Quidditch pitch, so that not only will the training time of the Gryffindor Quidditch team be at least two or three times more invisibly, but if other houses want to put up any secret tactics inside, the little lions working in the fields can easily see it by looking up.

There is no doubt that the vast majority of Gryffindor's students were unanimous in their support and advocacy for Professor McGonagall's choice, and for these energetic students, the open wilderness was the perfect place to have fun – and it even gave them the illusion that the Quidditch pitch had been contracted by them.

'It's been fantastic, we'll always be playing at home. ”

Oliver Wood looked excitedly at the row of tall golden goalposts on the Quidditch pitch not far away, turned around and patted the Weasley brothers beside him, his voice full of energy and energy.

"Guys, we're going to work hard this semester, training five times a week, and we're going to get the House Cup back!"

"Five times a week?!Wood, will you spare us......"

George Weasley grinned and rubbed his shoulders and said with a sad face.

"Think about it, we still have to farm during the day, are you sure you really have the energy to fly to the sky and train all night?"

"That's right, we won't have to use Slytherin's hands to do it, and we'll be able to fall from the sky ourselves. Fred Weasley nodded, singing and harmonizing with his twin brother.

"Or because of lack of rest, I couldn't hold the batting stick steadily, and I was directly knocked away by the Bludger......"

"Then he fell to the ground and became a ghost, flying around the court for the rest of his life......"

If Wood was a little bit of a big fan last term, after a few memorable fiascos, Oliver Wood has become one of the best training machines in Gryffindor Quidditch history, and according to the Weasley brothers, he would love to tie a broomstick to everyone.

"Ahem, didn't you listen carefully to Professor McGonagall's lecture just now?"

Noticing the discussion on the other end of the team, Percy Weasley couldn't help frowning, looked at the two younger brothers who were playing treasure, cleared his throat and said seriously.

"The gardens of each college are cultivated on a rotational basis, and today it is only a special case. In addition to the first and second grades, one grade is responsible for the vegetable garden every day, Monday to Friday. And the two days on the weekend are to divide the whole house into four groups and divide them into four half-day work - well, according to the prefect's unified arrangement......"

As he spoke, Percy raised his finger and tapped the glittering prefect badge on his chest, adding with some pride.

In fact, last night, each prefect had already been informed in advance: for the rest of the semester, they will be mainly responsible for the supervision and coordination of their respective colleges' vegetable gardens, from the selection of plant seeds, to the cultivation, sowing, tending, and harvesting...... All the processes are student-led.

Of course, the professors at the school did not sit idly by during the whole process.

Whatever questions students have, they will be happy to answer them – including how to speed up the maturation cycle of plants, what magic should be used to loosen and fertilize the soil, and how to make ordinary plants more productive......

And considering that most of the young wizards are new to farming, in the first week, the deans of the four colleges will also guide the young wizards to complete a complete production cycle from planting to harvesting.

The house-elves had cleared all the rubble and weeds last night, and had cleared a large area of land that could be used for sowing in advance, and the black-brown soil could feel a kind of fertile happiness at a glance.

"But what kind of plants are we going to grow, Professor? After all, such a large field ......."

Hermione looked up at Professor McGonagall and asked with some confusion.

Hermione was clearly more concerned about what they were going to do next than the boys who were obsessed with Quidditch - after a few days of cooking in the kitchen with Elena, the little beaver knew very well how important the basics were for the future.

"I'll look at ......"

Professor McGonagall smiled slightly, took a long piece of parchment from her coat pocket, unfolded it, and pushed her glasses away.

"The first is wheat and lettuce, which are the two plants that every college must grow. In this way, at least you can be guaranteed bread and vegetables to eat...... As for the other varieties of plants, each college selects some of them according to their own preferences. ”

Professor McGonagall paused slightly, her eyes scanning the cheeks of the young wizards through the lenses.

"So, guys...... If there's anything you like to eat, you can bring it up now. ”
