Alpine Orchard - Chapter 149

[Chapter 149]

. Xiao Mian’s parents are going back.

Ye Mo rode his bike and took Xiao Mu to the melon field.

Xiao Mu ran really fast, closely following the car, and ran to the melon field, the dog gasped and lay down on the grass.

Ye Mo patted Gouzi’s head and went to the shed.

The width of the greenhouse is 5 meters, the height is 3.7 meters, and the length is 200 meters.

Today is December 11th.

Entering December, the highest temperature during the day is 23 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature during the day is 14 degrees Celsius.

Daytime temperature, calculated at 2:00 pm.

The lowest temperature at night, 7 degrees Celsius.

…

the inside of the greenhouse and the outside of the greenhouse each have a temperature.

Today’s weather is very cold, it is past ten o’clock in the morning, and the temperature is thirteen degrees Celsius. I haven’t caught too many crayfish in recent days, which may also be the reason for the sudden drop in temperature. The temperature is low, and the crayfish are not active.

Outside the greenhouse, Ye Mo built three earthen stoves, which can be used to light fires when it is cold at night, and use water vapor to heat the greenhouse.

Now is the seedling stage, which requires special attention.

There are also 4 small plastic sheds in the greenhouse…

watermelon seedlings cultivated in a small shed, 80 seeds. These plantings are Ye Mo’s reserved seeds this year, and the planting of big watermelons.

After soaking in Lingquan, put it in the fry tray after germination.

In the seedling tray is nutrient soil…

The remaining three Xiaopeng are gourd, pumpkin, and wax gourd as rootstocks.

Gourd 35 seeds.

The big watermelon used to be a rootstock made of gourd.

There are many choices for the rootstock of watermelon. It is said that gourd is chosen to make the shape of the melon look better.

Different rootstocks have an impact on the shape and quality of watermelon.

Not suitable for rootstock, watermelon is prone to disease.

The temperature in the greenhouse is 25 degrees Celsius. This temperature is not too high for seedlings.

Ye Mo looked at the growth of the melon seedlings in the shed.

Yemo is the watermelon that is sown first, and the rootstock seeds that are sown later.

When the watermelon seedlings grow up, the rootstock seedlings emerge.

It’s a bit stuffy in the shed.

After looking at the melon seedlings, Ye Mo withdrew, added water to the cauldron outside, and lit the firewood. Use water vapor to increase the temperature in the greenhouse…

Start cultivating melon seedlings now, only in the greenhouse.

All three earthen stoves were lit, and wood firewood was placed to let it burn slowly.

The pot was filled with water, and after it was boiled, a large firewood was added to it, and then the excavator was used to continue digging the soil.

Ye Mo confirmed that the watermelon planting area is 180 mu. Planting 200 plants per acre… In

this way, although there is a lot of work. But it is still necessary to have better output and quality.

Using Lingquan to cultivate watermelons, the watermelon vines will be thicker than ordinary melon vines and occupy a larger area.

It’s not that there is no land on Ye Mo’s side.

The bucket of the excavator has been replaced with a rake claw. In areas where the soil needs to be loosened, Ye Mo also poured organic fertilizer on it… directly mixed the organic fertilizer into the soil.

Today is the 9th.

For the melons and fruits outside the greenhouse, check the weather forecast after New Year’s Day. If the temperature is good, seedlings will start to grow.

That is to say, large-scale seedling cultivation, one month later.

After working for a while, it was almost noon, Ye Mo went back to look at the shed…

the firewood in the stove had been burned out, and there was still more than half of the water in the pot. The film in the greenhouse is covered with water vapor…

The temperature inside rose several degrees.

Ye Mo took out his mobile phone to shoot a video, and sent it to Zhang Yuanqiao: “The seedlings have emerged.” After a

while, Zhang Yuanqiao replied to Ye Mo’s message: “Got it. After the watermelon grows, send me the video. Our side We also set up a greenhouse, watermelon cultivation, and we can record the video ourselves.”

“Okay.”

Ye Mo went back to the car, and Xiao Mu was still resting by the side of the road.

“Get in the car.” Ye Mo rode over on the battery scooter, and Xiao Mu jumped directly onto the pedal.

Ye Mo touched its dog’s head and turned the accelerator.

When I got home, Lin Xiaomian was already back, washing rice and cooking.   Ye Mo

went over to wash his hands, took out the green peppers, and said, “How about fried meat with green peppers?”

“Whatever.” Lin Xiaomian looked outside, “Where are my parents?

”

Uncles and aunts are afraid that you will be sad, so…’

I saw Lin Xiaomian patted her chest, which was slightly smaller than before: “They can be counted back.”

Uh?

Ye Mo’s words were stuck in his chest: “I don’t want to live with your parents so much.”

“My mother always talks about me, she always picks on me on purpose.” Lin Xiaomian pouted, and suddenly, she smiled. , took out the phone: “Hey, Ranran.”

“What are you doing?”

“Take a day off tomorrow. I haven’t rested for a long time, and I want to sleep late…”

“Okay, I also want to take a day off, so that Dad and Second Uncle went over to drive.”

“Yeah.”

Ye Mo was speechless, and glanced at Lin Xiaomian: “You can’t finish the work and then rest.”

“I haven’t rested for a long time.” Lin Xiaomian said: “Let’s rest, the machine There is no need to rest. Uncle and Second Uncle just go and drive.”

There is only a little work left for Tang Xun’s family on the production team, and it is expected to be finished in… four or five days.

“Okay, okay, take a good rest at home.” Ye Mo said with a smile.

After a while, Ye Ran called again and said, “You don’t have to go in the afternoon. Second uncle is fine in the afternoon. He will help drive the excavator…tomorrow too.”

“Well, okay…”

“Ye Mo is busy there . Is it over? When the work here is over, I will go on a trip.” Ye Ran said.

“Let me ask him.” Lin Xiaomian hung up the phone and said, “When will you

finish your work? Ye Ran said that he wants to go to Weizhou Island to play.” “December, what is there to do on Weizhou Island?” big.

“Go to see the sea… In December, the homestays on Weizhou Island are cheap.” Lin Xiaomian said, “Go for fun, just for a few days.”

“It’s better to go to Hainan Island.” Ye Mo said.

“Hainan Island is expensive. Weizhou Island is now the off-season for tourism, and hotels and homestays are all cheap.”

“Okay, let’s go to Weizhou Island to play.” Ye Mo said with a smile.

Lin Xiaomian giggled, revealing her dimples: “I went upstairs to take a shower, do you want to see Heisi?”

Ye Mo nodded quickly.

“Leg control…” Lin Xiaomian spat, smiled and went upstairs.

Ye Mo turned on the liquefied gas, fried the meat with chili… and made a tomato and egg soup.

Lin Xiaomian likes to drink soup, especially tomato and egg soup.

Ye Mo, it doesn’t matter, as long as there are vegetables.

After cooking, Ye Mo shouted: “Go downstairs for dinner.”

“Right away.”

After waiting for a while, Lin Xiaomian went downstairs in pajamas and fur slippers.

“Where’s Heisi?” Ye Mo said.

“You think I have a cold, Heisi…” Lin Xiaomian gave him a blank look.

Ye Mo laughed and said, “Go upstairs and wear it for me later.”

“It’s a beautiful idea.” Lin Xiaomian took Ye Mosheng’s meal and said, “When will you finish your work?”

“After four or five days, you will be able to wear it.” Grafted. Just dozens of seedlings, after grafting, go out to play.” Ye Mo said.

“How many days can we play?”

“Ten days.” Ye Mo said.

After the seedlings are grafted, nothing will happen. That is to say, after about seven days, the greenhouse needs to be opened to ventilate the greenhouse… During this period, the temperature of the greenhouse should be cooled, and the water should be properly controlled…

This stage is called ‘low temperature hardening’. After five or six days, the melon seedlings are still alive and can be transplanted.

Seedling hardening is carried out 5-7 days before planting, and the time should not be too long. The main methods for hardening seedlings are as follows: stop heating, let the air out to cool down, and uncover the upper and lower air outlets of the plastic greenhouse shed. The purpose of doing this is to make it quickly adapt to the adverse environmental conditions on land after planting, shorten the time for slowing down seedlings, and enhance the resistance to low temperature and strong wind.
