"Don't worry, it's not a big problem, the advantage of this sandy soil is that the particle content in the soil is high, the drainage and air permeability are good, and it is not easy to accumulate water after watering, and the disadvantage is that there are few nutrients in the soil, water loss is fast, and the performance of water and fertilizer retention is poor, but when planting, mix some nutrient soil, it should not be a problem."

Xia Ning explained conclusively that for the ancients, sandy soil may not be a good land, but in modern times, sandy soil can still grow a lot of crops.

To be honest, many things in ancient times are more natural than modern ones, and the reason why many things in modern times are stronger than ancient times is also the accumulation and condensation of thousands of years of civilization, mixed with many high-tech developments.

For example, the reason why modern crops can achieve such high yield and quality is also achieved through the step-by-step improvement of agricultural scientists, plus various auxiliary things.

There is no reason why modern excellent varieties cannot be planted in such a natural and pollution-free place as ancient times?

"That's great!" Song Shaoqin was overjoyed, mainly because their Song family had mastered the lifeline of food, so their side would be invincible.

His family's lemon is really their Song family's great fortune!

"So when can we start planting?"

Xia Ning explained softly, "With the geography and climate here, in fact, potatoes can be planted this month now, and sweet potatoes can only be planted in spring and April.

Potatoes are generally planted in April and May in spring or September and October in autumn, but the specific planting time is different in different regions, and potatoes like cool places, and the suitable growth temperature is between 16~18 °C.

In fact, if the climate permits, it is theoretically possible to grow potatoes all year round.

The sweet potato has higher requirements for temperature when planting, and it is the most suitable for planting spring potatoes in mid to late April, and autumn sweet potatoes can also be planted in places with warmer climates in July and August.

If the temperature is still warm in winter, then winter potatoes can be planted in November, but although the temperature in Nanban is not as cold as in the north, it is obviously colder here than in other warm southern regions.

It's now mid-October, and the climate and temperature here are obviously not enough to grow sweet potatoes.

"It's okay, it's already good to be able to grow potatoes, maybe we can harvest a batch of fruits before the new yuan."

After listening to the popular science of lemon, Song Shaoqin didn't care, he was very satisfied if he could plant a crop, he remembered that he had said before that the growth cycle of potatoes was only two or three months.

If they plant the potatoes as soon as possible now, they will be ripe in about January, and the New Year will be around mid-January, so if nothing else, everyone should be able to have a full year.

In this way, everyone will not have to face a period of scarcity.

As long as you survive this winter, you will be able to plant a lot of crops after the beginning of spring, and you will not have to worry about food rations.

Hearing this, Xia Ning smiled slyly, "Who said you can only grow potatoes?" Although sweet potatoes can't be planted, there are other crops that can be planted, and you don't have crop seeds suitable for winter planting here, which doesn't mean that we don't have them in modern times~"

Just the last time they were wholesale supplies, she bought dozens of seeds of all kinds, as well as a lot of flowers, fruits and vegetable seedlings, all of which she stored in the porcelain pot space as fresh vegetables.

"So what else can you plant?"

Song Shaoqin's eyes were bright when he looked at Xia Ning, his family knew so much, and even the nongsang side knew so much, it was really amazing!

It is estimated that even the Si Nong Division of the imperial court is not as detailed and specific as his family.

Xia Ning pondered, "If you want to grow food, you can try winter wheat, as for vegetables, there are more that can be planted, such as rape, leeks, lettuce, radish, lettuce or something, these vegetables have a short growth cycle, and they can be eaten in more than a month at the earliest." ”

"Can wheat be planted in winter?"

Song Shaoqin reacted very quickly and grabbed Xia Ning's hand with a surprised expression.

"Uh, don't you have winter wheat here?" Xia Ning frowned slightly, she was still in a state of half-understanding of this time and space, and she hadn't figured out many things yet.

But she remembers that when she was creating before, she also deliberately checked the history, in fact, there were dynasties planting winter wheat a long time ago, but because of the environmental and climate requirements of winter wheat, only a small number of areas can meet the planting conditions.

In addition, information and transportation were not developed in ancient times, and a lot of information was not circulated, and it was impossible for such a precious thing as grain to be as popular as it is in modern times.

Moreover, this time and space is not the same as the historical world she is in, and the knowledge points she has known in the past are not fully applicable.

Song Shaoqin shook his head and said, "No, we only plant wheat here in spring, and we can't plant seedlings in winter." ”

He still knows the common sense of what grain is planted in what season, and there is no custom of planting winter wheat in their Dongchu, not that they have not tried it, but that grain seeds cannot become seedlings at all, so all along, they only have spring wheat.

Hearing him say this, Xia Ning instantly understood the key point, "It should be a problem with seeds, it's okay, I bought the seeds of winter wheat here, we can let people try to see all kinds of things." ”

Song Shaoqin said, "Okay, when everyone is settled, I will start arranging, then please sort out the seeds we need separately." ”

"OK~ No problem!" Xia Ningbi gestured in agreement.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that what she was experiencing now was so similar to the plot of the heroine?

Didn't the heroine just take out all kinds of crop artifacts, take her family around her to make a fortune, reform and innovation, and even set off a new dynasty?

So, she is also holding the script of the big heroine now? Walking the heroine's awesome route?

No way?

She wrote so many heroines, but she didn't expect that she would have such a day.

Is this the ideal shining into reality?

**

After lunch, the women continued to stay in place to tidy up, the men took farm tools and ropes up the mountain, and even a few men of the Song family changed into short old clothes and set off with the large army.

"You're going too?"

Xia Ning saw that Song Shaoqin also picked up the shovel and hurriedly pulled the others.

"Well, it's okay anyway, I'll follow along, I can help a little." Song Shaoqin wants to have a comprehensive understanding of Baiyun Village and grasp all the information of Baiyun Village as soon as possible, which is also more conducive to making the next step of planning.

"Then I'll go too."

Xia Ning hurriedly said that they didn't let themselves get their hands dirty with housework, and she was also an idler in the Song family.
