027 Pea Sprouting 2

"Those peas sprouted?"

Lawrence thinks back to the peas, he has been busy with a lot of things every day in recent times, and he has long forgotten about those peas.

These things Sophia will not forget, Sophia nodded quickly.

"I'm not lying, the peas that were planted in the soil before have sprouted, and I go to see them every morning, every day!"

Lawrence laughed: "I didn't doubt what you meant, the peas in the field have sprouted?" How long did it take for these peas to sprout? ”

Sophia was a little overwhelmed and said honestly: "Watching a lot of them sprout together, we have the most in the field." ”

As for how many days it took to sprout, Sophia doesn't remember.

She didn't specifically record it, and few people specifically recorded and summarized things like this that would definitely happen.

In the countryside where there is no pen and paper, people rely on experience to pass on agricultural technology and experience, and sometimes the experience summarized by predecessors is broken because of problems in the later generation, which is a very normal thing.

Memory is not reliable most of the time, and many people are prone to misremembering and counting mistakes when they remember, and they will not remember it if they are troublesome.

Lawrence didn't ask Sophia to record this, and Sophia had so many things every day, so naturally she didn't have this awareness.

There are some things that you don't realize are not aware of.

Lawrence himself had forgotten about this kind of thing, and after a little recollection, he came up with a less accurate number.

"It's been about seven or eight days, I'll take a look."

Lawrence walked outside with that, and Sophia followed.

Sophia walked on the dirt path outside the house, jumped on the edge of the grass, looked up at Lawrence, and said:

"We'll have peas to eat soon!"

Lawrence said: "Not so quickly, this land is we rent Andrew's land, and after the harvest we will give Andrew a part, and then next year we will clear the farmland in the mountains and grow some oats and vegetables." ”

Sophia felt that something was missing, "Don't grow wheat and peas?" ”

Lawrence explains: "The land in the mountains may not be suitable, and I looked at it for a while, and there were only some big trees that weren't very tall. ”

"It's not like a few trees are good for growing crops, you need a piece of land to grow crops, and those areas on the mountains are only suitable for pasture and vegetables."

Sophia was a little disappointed, but quickly and wisely suggested, "Then why don't we go directly down the mountain?" ”

Lawrence shook his head, "We haven't gotten used to it yet, we haven't officially met the people in the village yet, it will take a while to get used to it, and then we will choose whether to continue on the mountain or go down the mountain according to the situation next year." ”

Wheat can also be grown on the mountain, but the terrain needs to be modified, and if a mountain can be shaved flat, there is really no place that is not suitable.

Before there is a stable income, farming is the only way to ensure food and clothing.

Lawrence came to the farmland and squatted down, and a few sparse green seedlings had already appeared in the seemingly barren black soil.

These green seedlings have just emerged today, and the tallest is only about one centimeter, and many of them can't be found if you don't look closely.

Lawrence noticed that almost all of the seeds that sprouted were optimized on his side, and the seeds that Andrew had sown at random looked like it would take some time to catch up before they showed up a little.

Just as Lawrence and Sophia were overjoyed, Saliel walked over.

The movements of the two are very concerned, and Sariel is now with Sophia every day, but Sophia is like a pet dog, no matter how well she usually gets along with Sarile, once she sees Lawrence, she will run over to greet her owner regardless of it.

Not accustomed to being alone, Sariel walked over and joined the conversation between the two.

"Lawrence, you'd better not be so happy, or the winter will turn into even more sad sadness."

Lawrence looked at Sariel, "Why?" ”

Sariel looked at the sprouted peas in the field, and explained to Lawrence: "I warned you a long time ago, the cold winter has come, and these peas that should have been sleeping in the ground are born early, and they will only freeze to death in the cold winter wind and snow. ”

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe today, once the wind and snow appear, it will bring a cold winter that tears hands and feet, and these peas will not survive."

Lawrence was aware of his problem, but he ignored it because he saw that Andrew also grew peas.

"What will happen to the rest of the peas in that field?" Lawrence looked at the rest of the peas, it wasn't his proposal to plant peas, he just preferred a few peas.

"These peas that haven't sprouted yet, once they encounter a cold winter, they will stay in the soil and wait until spring to germinate. ”

Lawrence frowned, wondering what had gone wrong.

Water!!

That's right, it's water!

Lawrence recalls how he soaked his seeds in water when he first chose seeds that were full of grains that could sink into the water.

The goal is to select good seeds, but the reality is that these good seeds, which have absorbed enough water, develop ahead of schedule!

Compared with those dry hard seeds, the starting line of these seeds is much higher, and even after stepping into the soil, they are watered and moistened like the rest of the seeds, and they are consciously provided with enough nutrient space to develop faster.

But at this time, there is no need for such a rapid growth rate.

Lawrence breathed in the cold air he was accustomed to, and had been wandering the mountains all the time, ignoring the threat of winter.

Sariel saw that Lawrence should have known the mistake, and said softly: "Fortunately, only this seed has germinated, and the radish seeds can be planted here in a few days." ”

These four square meters of pea seedlings have been listed as an elimination area by Sariel.

Lawrence argued: "I used to grow wheat and vegetables mainly in the fall, how long are the winters here? ”

"It's not long." It seems that Saliel can't answer this question specifically.

Lawrence said helplessly: "Then let's do this first, if these pea seedlings can't survive, we can use them as vegetables to eat." ”

Sariel suddenly realized that this was also a good idea.

"As long as it's not wasted, I have no opinion."

Lawrence took the initiative to say: "Then I will make some tools, and sometimes go down the mountain to exchange some food to make up for the loss of this piece of land." ”

Sariel felt that Lawrence was very outward, but she thought that she had rejected the other party, and she was embarrassed to say anything more at this time.

"Okay then."

Lawrence solved the problem of pea seedlings for the time being, but refused to give up so easily.

What is the temperature here, what is the quality of the soil, whether the peas can live, whether they are suitable or not, it is impossible to determine with a mouth alone.

Regional differences, as well as various agricultural techniques and experiences, must be experienced for yourself to find out what is best for you and the environment for these peas.

Lawrence had planted peas before, and peas were hardy and not heat-tolerant, and although they would freeze to death in winter, they were not certain to die.

Even wheat can't survive 100% of the snow, and dying is not the same thing as dying and dying.

Winter seems to be lifeless, but mosquito puples, plant seeds, and small animals are all lurking and developing, and there is no such thing as death.

Maybe it's really not a good choice for the preferred seed, maybe his experience doesn't fit here, but Lawrence wants to try it anyway.

It's just that these four square meters of land, even if they are all dead, they can hunt or do something else to compensate Andrew's family.

Lawrence decided to record his own experience, and only by writing down every operation could he learn from it and summarize the rules.

If you don't have the ability to forget, you can only do it!
