404. Plant watermelons
After sending Ma Yifei away, Zuo Guang and Zuo Fan were about to come back from school.
But Zuo Qiongqiong has other tasks today, which is to grow watermelons.
Summer is just around the corner, and who doesn't want watermelon freedom?
Zuo Qiongqiong bought grafted watermelon seedlings online, which are grafted by two plants, watermelon and pumpkin.
It can keep the watermelon free from pests and diseases, and it can also make the watermelon more productive and taste better.
She actually bought two kinds of melon seeds, but she was afraid that she would not be able to graft them well, so she bought ready-made melon seedlings.
The first step in planting watermelon is to add water to the nutrient soil and stir it to moisten, hold it tightly with your hands, there is water, but the degree to which it can't drip is okay.
Then put it into the seedling tray, and the soil in each small hole is not too much, as long as it is full of eight points, and it must not be pressed.
If the soil is too hard, it will affect the root growth of watermelon seedlings when they germinate.
Then put a watermelon seed in each small hole, and after all of them are filled, sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top, and spray water with a watering can to make the thin soil on it completely moist.
Watermelons and pumpkins are the same planting method, Zuo Qiongqiong was afraid that her skills were not up to standard, so she planted fifty plants of each kind of melon.
Even if you fail, you have to leave half of the survival rate, right?
First, put away the seedling tray where the seeds are placed and put it in a cool place without exposure to the sun.
If you find that the soil is too dry, you should also replenish water in time, so that the seeds can germinate faster when wet.
As for the watermelon seedlings that were bought, they needed to be transplanted into the land.
There is a small garden at the back of the villa, which Zuo Qiongqiong and the maids at home have cleaned up a few days ago.
Loosen the soil first, then put on the reclamation and spread a layer of mulch to moisturize.
Use a small shovel to dig a hole and put the watermelon seedlings you bought in with the soil.
The seedlings I bought were relatively small, and now they only grow three or four leaves, which are not as big as a palm.
Leaving some soil can buffer the seedlings from coming into contact with unfamiliar soil and improve the survival rate.
The place where the watermelon seedlings and pumpkin seedlings are connected is relatively fragile, so be careful, otherwise it is likely to be broken.
After Zuo Qiongqiong, Aunt Zhou, and Wang Huiling laid out the mulch, they were ready to plant watermelon seedlings inside.
At this time, Lu Qingze came back from school after picking up the two small groups, and when he saw that they were busy, he said that he wanted to help.
The two little balls rolled up their sleeves and looked eager to try.
Zuo Qiongqiong quickly assigned them the task, Lu Qingze was responsible for carrying water, and the two small groups were watering the planted watermelon seedlings.
"Sister Qiongqiong, we don't grow watermelons over there, there are too many thieves."
Wang Huiling said: "If we can really grow all these watermelons, there will be endless watermelons to eat this summer!" ”
Aunt Zhou held a small shovel, although she had never done this kind of work, she looked good: "Xiaoling, don't worry, planted in our house, no one dares to steal!" ”
The privacy of the villa area here is particularly high, and even the little brother who delivers food can't enter, so he is brought in by the doorman.
License plates that are not entered can only be parked at the door.
They are all rich and powerful, and it is impossible to pull down their identities to steal watermelons.
A few people have been very careful, but inevitably in the process of transportation, some of the melon seedlings have been bumped, become very fragile, as long as they are not careful, the connection will be broken in two.
However, the broken Zuo Qiongqiong still planted it, although the watermelon part was broken, but if the remaining half of the pumpkin was planted, maybe a small pumpkin could be harvested.
With a distance of nearly one meter between every two watermelons, the small plot of land they have cultivated is almost not enough.
There are also 50 watermelon seedlings that have not been grafted up and down, and it seems that new land will be reclaimed.
Zuo Qiongqiong's back was even more sore when she got up, and she almost rushed forward, but fortunately, Lu Qingze stretched out his arm and hugged her.
"You rest for a while, let me come."
As he spoke, he mentioned a watermelon seedling on the ground, and it was already half before it was put into the pit.
Zuo Qiongqiong couldn't wait to kick him: "Can you be light, do you still want to eat watermelon?" ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't control it."
Lu Qingze's face was as usual, and he squatted down to learn from Zuo Qiongqiong to plant watermelons just now, but Zuo Qiongqiong suddenly felt that the conversation between the two people just now was a little wrong.
It's just planting a watermelon, how can a casual two sentences be reminiscent of last night?
Zuo Qiongqiong patted her brain, she really did too much of this kind of thing, and her brain was not clear!
After the two small dumplings have watered the watermelon seedlings, they have to build a shed for the watermelons.
Because the temperature at night is relatively low, if it is too low, the watermelon seedlings will not grow.
When Zuo Qiongqiong watched Lu Qingze and others plugging in poles, she suddenly missed her greenhouse.
If you grow watermelons in your own greenhouse, you can save the labor of inserting poles.
The temperature in the greenhouse is high, and the watermelons grown may be sweeter.
After Lu Qingze inserted the remaining pole, he walked to Zuo Qiongqiong's side, took off his gloves and secretly helped her rub her waist.
"I'll ask people to come over and reclaim it when I go back, don't be busy."
Zuo Qiongqiong nodded and said, "Maybe you have to open a machine to beat the ground." ”
Fortunately, there are no precious plants in the small garden, they are all ornamental, pull them out and take them away, and then spread a layer of soil suitable for growing vegetables.
After planting all these watermelons, it was already dark.
Wait for tomorrow at noon when the weather is hot to open a corner to let the watermelon seedlings breathe, and put them down at night, and in a few days, the watermelon vines will grow longer and longer.
When the time comes, take a clod of soil and press the watermelon vine, and it will bear watermelon.
Zuo Qiongqiong looked at the watermelon seedlings on the ground, and she was already thinking about realizing the freedom of watermelons.
In the next period of time, Zuo Qiongqiong repaired the problems of the account, and by the way, reviewed the professional knowledge of the original master's university.
The other party is learning design, and Zuo Qiongqiong's things are not related at all.
She felt that her hands, which were very nimble when cooking, were already out of control the moment she got the pen.
I can only hate my body for not fighting for it, and I didn't leave some of the previous physical habits of the original owner.
It would be too embarrassing to miss the class as soon as you went back to class
On the fifth day of Zuo Qiongqiong's hard study, Lu Qingze sent several sets of dresses.
"Remember that friend's birthday? I'll take you with me tomorrow afternoon after work. ”
Of course, Zuo Qiongqiong remembered that she still had to go to a long time.
I picked a rose red one from the dresses sent by Lu Qingze, this color is very white, and it is also suitable for her age.
It's really that the older I get, the more I like pink and tender.
took a photo in the fitting room and sent it to Lu Qingze, and within five minutes, the other party did not hesitate to send a 300-word compliment essay.
As soon as she finished lunch, a familiar makeup artist came over to put her on makeup.
