130 acres of watermelon, 30 acres of melon......

and more than 30 acres of reticulated melons built on shelves.

I applied organic fertilizer all at once, and after that there wasn't much going on. It is to clean the newly grown vines regularly and water them.

With Ye Zhi, Chen Chen, and Tang Sui helping here, all the work can go smoothly.

The melons and fruits in the field are growing day by day.

······

On the production team's side, the mangoes have already bloomed.

The pomegranate also grows new leaves, flower bones......

Ye Mo poured more than a ton of spiritual spring into the reservoir last year, and after March, all the orchards need to be irrigated. Along the way, the spiritual spring of the reservoir also enters the orchard of every household......

One ton of spiritual spring is diluted to the entire reservoir and then watered by the fruit trees.

Ye Mo felt that the fruit trees in the village were growing very well. Last year, everyone applied organic fertilizer to the fruit trees, and this year...... Under the arrangement of the village committee, the orchard under the mountain was also watered with water and fertilizer.

If the fruit trees are growing well, it is understandable that it is not all due to the spiritual spring. Even, the credit of Lingquan should not be particularly great.

After all, there are too few spiritual springs to the reservoir.

Busy time, flies very fast.

In the blink of an eye, it's April.

The watermelons in Gaoshanping have all been finalized, that is, they no longer grow and have entered the ripening period.

The first planted watermelons are almost ripe.

The watermelon is all set, and all that remains is to wait, wait for it to ripen.

Ye Mo is now rooted in the melon field, even if he is not alive, he has to run to the melon field several times a day.

The watermelons in the greenhouse have also stopped expanding, even if they continue to water the spiritual spring...... The oversized watermelon has also been finalized,

But not yet ripe.

Ye Mo dialed Zhang Yuanqiao's video call: "Mr. Zhang, how are you doing?" ”

On the phone, Zhang Yuanqiao said with a smile: "Business has been very good recently. By the way, your crayfish over there, are you going to sell it? I have some old customers here who are still talking about your crayfish. ”

"There are not many crayfish, and they are all kept for seeding. The crayfish on my side are estimated to be sold in July and August. Ye Mo said.

"That's right." Zhang Yuanqiao smiled and nodded: "Let me see the big watermelon." ”

Ye Mo switched the camera and said, "These big watermelons are generally more than two hundred catties in size. ”

"The biggest, how heavy."

"The most one, the first two days weighed 267 pounds." Ye Mo said: "The watermelon has stopped expanding, and when it matures with the most moisture, it can add some weight." But it must not exceed three hundred catties. ”

"It's a shame. Three hundred catties is a cut-off point, if it can exceed three hundred catties......"

Ye Mo smiled: "It's too difficult to raise a watermelon that is more than three hundred catties." Presumably, summer is possible. I'm also going to plant a batch of big watermelons here, and I'll see if I can grow more than 300 catties when the time comes. ”

"Okay. If it is more than 300 catties, it is still the price mentioned before, 100,000 yuan. Zhang Yuanqiao smiled and said: "

I have a big greenhouse here in my resort, which contains the watermelon seeds you gave me, as well as other large varieties...... Not to mention, the seeds you gave were really good, and all 30 seeds survived. The largest watermelon weighs 89 pounds, but it is estimated to be a hollow melon.

Watermelons in winter are really difficult to grow, especially large watermelons.

Zhang Yuanqiao specializes in cultivating large watermelons, and the largest is more than 100 catties, and it doesn't need to be opened... You know it's hollow.

The planting given by Ye Mo, the smallest watermelon, has grown to more than 50 catties. As long as it's not particularly large, it's not hollow. But those watermelons are not ripe yet......

"Mr. Zhang, I'll ask you about something." Ye Mo said.

"Say."

"What is the price of watermelon now?"

"Watermelons in this time period are more expensive, and the purchase price on my side is 4.8 yuan per catty." Zhang Yuanqiao said: "

The goods I got from Lao Gao are second-class melons. The demand for watermelons on my side is not very large, and it takes several days to purchase more than 1,000 catties at a time. Is your watermelon ripe? ”

"In the last few days, it will be able to be picked." Ye Mo said.

Ye Mo said: "I cut a watermelon just now, and the melon pulp is already red. ”

"How does it taste?"

"It's sweet."

"This year's watermelon market is not bad. I heard that the greenhouse dropped melons, and the current purchase price is 7 yuan per catty. ”

The two chatted for a while and hung up.

In fact, Ye Mo has already contacted Boss Gao to come and see the goods, which is the Boss Gao introduced by Tang Sui last year.

Watermelons are priced at one price a day, and the price is only given after seeing the melons in the field.

Now the quantity of watermelons is small, and the price is high.

The second-grade watermelon that Zhang Yuanqiao said is the watermelon sensory index grading, which is second-grade.

The melon drop in the greenhouse is basically the first level.

Watermelons have not yet been marketed in large quantities, and the price of watermelons is high and in demand.

It's just a matter of price, and there's no such thing as saying you can't sell it.

The sensory index of watermelon is evaluated by the indicators of melon shape, melon color, melon pulp, ripeness and melon surface.

Melon shape:

Special grade, with the shape that this variety should have, the shape is thoughtful, fresh and clean, no peculiar smell, and has the maturity of storage and transportation resistance and market requirements.

First, it has the shape and shape that this variety should have, which can be inferior to the requirements of special grades, and has the maturity of storage and transportation and market requirements.

Level 2: It has the shape and shape that this variety should have, and can be inferior to the requirements of the first class......

Guaddon:

Premium, with the skin color that this variety should have, no yin and yang sides.

First-grade, with the skin color that this product should have, no yin and yang sides.

Grade 2: It has the skin color that this product should have, and it can have a slight shady side.

Melon Mushroom:

Premium, with the color and flavor that this variety should have when it is ripe, uniform and consistent, no hard lumps, no white tendons, no hollow .........

…

Peel: Extra grade, less than and equal to 1.2 cm. Level 1, less than and equal to 1.3 cm. Level 2, less than and equal to 1.4 cm.

There are a few more of these indices, which are quite complex.

For small melon farmers, these indices are useless. But for big melon farmers, these indices are useful.

Premium, First, Second...... The price difference is quite large.

Generally speaking, it is not easy for watermelons in the field to achieve a special and first-class sensory index. But in the greenhouse, the watermelon with a shelf grows in the air, melon shape, melon color, melon surface, these ...... It's easier to achieve perfection.

And the watermelons in the field are usually more second-grade. Comparison of the first grade, rare of the extra grade......

Di Di ...... 'There was the sound of a car horn on the other side of the house.

Then, Ye Mo's mobile phone rang: "Hey, Mr. Gao...... I'm here in the melon field, okay..."

Ye Mo waited here for a while, and an SUV drove over.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Guo." Ye Mo walked over and handed over two cigarettes.

Gao Yuan, fruit wholesale owner.

Mr. Guo, the owner of the fruit online store. Mr. Guo's company, Gao Yuan has a shareholding, and the two are partners.

"Ho, this endless watermelon is growing very well." Gao Yuan lit a cigarette, looked at the melon field, and said with a smile.

The watermelon leaves in the melon field are still green and look very tender. This kind of melon field, at a glance, you know that the management is very good, and it is a melon field that wants to produce two or three crops......

If the early-maturing melon is well managed, water and fertilizer are given once after the watermelon is picked, which can awaken the vitality of the melon vine, bloom and bear fruit again. That is, multi-ripe watermelons, like cutting leeks, harvested one stubble after another.

However, such melon fields are mostly in greenhouses.

"My batch of watermelons is very good, in terms of appearance, it is no worse than the hanging melons in the greenhouse." Ye Mo also smiled and made an inviting gesture.
