Chunfeng also designed two doors in each greenhouse to facilitate entry and exit for picking and fertilizing.
The greenhouse is ready, and the next step is to sow the seeds. In Chunfeng, each different vegetable is planted in a separate greenhouse, and there are exactly a dozen greenhouses.
With the vegetable shed, Chunfeng has almost no free time every day. She needs to do it herself by watering every day, checking the temperature and humidity of each shed, and how the vegetables are growing.
The vegetables have grown more than ten centimeters tall, and it’s time for top dressing. There are not so many compound fertilizers to buy in this era, and most of them are farmyard manure.
Chunfeng’s family has no livestock, so there is no farmyard fertilizer! How to do it? Don't worry!
Chunfeng remembered that he used to like to watch agricultural and military programs in his spare time. A program once said that the best green vegetables use purely natural fertilizers, without the harmful substances of chemical fertilizers.
Those were leaves and plant ash, so after the greenhouse was built, Chunfeng took his siblings to the mountains to collect a lot of leaves and part of the black soil in the woods.
That's all very fertile soil, just look at the big green trees on the mountain!
After Chunfeng's special fermentation process, the leaves became almost the same as the black soil on the mountain. After mixing with the plant ash, the two Chunfeng sisters began the busy work of fertilizing.
Uncle Yang still came here every day to study, and helped him finish applying fertilizer. Chunfeng told him that he could also use ordinary farmyard fertilizer at home.
Uncle Yang's family raised a big buffalo, and there was no shortage of farmyard manure. Uncle Yang hurried home to fertilize his own land.
Originally, Uncle Yang's daughter-in-law Cuihua did not support Uncle Yang's building such a greenhouse, but seeing the lush vegetables growing well in the ground, she actively joined the vegetable planting team and went to Chunfeng from time to time.
This made Uncle Qin anxious. He regretted that he did not plant the seeds together. Now he has missed the best time and can only wait until next year!
As for the other villagers in Dahe Village, they all sneered at Chunfeng's practice of growing vegetables in winter, and did not believe that she could grow vegetables in the winter.
Fast forward two months and it’s midwinter, and the spring breeze looks like it’s going to snow! The temperature in the greenhouse is getting lower and lower, and that layer of oil paper may not be able to keep it warm!
After thinking for a long time, I asked Uncle Yang to discuss it, and finally came up with a good idea.
After the autumn harvest, every household stacks up the straw and puts it on the edge of the field. It is of no use. In previous years, it rotted in the ground!
The spring breeze uses those straws to make simple straw mats and puts them on the greenhouse. With the straw mats, the temperature in the greenhouse is guaranteed!
Chunfeng also specially designed two drawstrings on the straw mat, just like the principle of modern roller curtains. In this way, when the temperature is high during the day, the straw mat can be pulled up to allow the plants to photosynthesize, and put down at night to keep warm.
In order to make straw mats before the heavy snow came, the family often worked until late at night. They did not even go to Mr. Liu's house to study in the past two days in Chun Sheng.
Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, all the straw mats were prepared and placed in the greenhouse!
Looking at his achievements, Chunfeng felt full of pride!
Suddenly the corner of a greenhouse was dented. Chunfeng stepped forward to check and found that one of the bamboos was relatively thin and could not bear the weight of the straw mat and collapsed!
Chunfeng stared blankly at the collapsed bamboo, as if deep in thought.
After a while, I saw Chunfeng running quickly to Aunt Qin's house: "Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, are you at home?"
"I'm at home, is it spring breeze? What's the matter?" Aunt Qin opened the door after hearing the sound.
"I would like to ask you two for a favor..."
It turned out that it was the collapsed bamboo that reminded the spring breeze. The weight capacity of the greenhouse with straw mats was already very large. Wouldn't it be worse if there was a heavy snowstorm
So Chunfeng hurriedly asked Chun Sheng to notify Uncle Yang to reinforce the greenhouse, and he came to Uncle Qin's family to help reinforce the greenhouse.
After discussion, Chunfeng decided to add a row of pillars in the middle of the greenhouse to strengthen the entire greenhouse.
After doing all the preparations and precautions, Chunfeng's tense heart finally settled down! I can finally have a good rest!
As expected, that night a heavy snowfall covered the entire Dahe Village, enough to cover the ankles!
All I saw was a blanket of snow everywhere, the white light stung my eyes, and the big trees on the distant mountains were covered with rime.
It exactly corresponds to the scene of "Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom,"!
"Wow, it's snowing! It's so beautiful, eldest sister, mother! Come out quickly, it's snowing... Haha" The early spring breeze opened the door and saw endless white snow, and I was immediately excited.
In the previous life, the city where Chunfeng was located rarely snowed. Even if it did occasionally snow, it would only be a little bit of snowflakes. It had never snowed as heavily as this.
In today's spring breeze, I wore a light pink jacket and stood in the yard. I don't know whether it was cold or because the clothes made it look better. My whole face was filled with a pink color, like a bud waiting to bloom, full of flowers. The vitality of youth.
It was the first time I saw such heavy snow. Chunfeng jumped up and down in the yard happily, and even took his siblings to build a snowman together.
After being here for so long, Chunfeng looks like a real eleven or twelve-year-old child for the first time, so innocent, cute, and pure! Just one look at it makes people want to take it into their hearts to take good care of it and love it carefully.
After breakfast, Chunfeng didn't forget to go to the field to check the condition of the greenhouse. He didn't know whether the heavy snow last night had damaged the greenhouse.
Putting on the homemade earmuffs and finding a long stick in the yard, the spring breeze set off towards the greenhouse.
Fortunately, the preparation work was done in advance, and there were no major problems with the greenhouse, except for a slight dent in some places.
The long stick I brought earlier came in handy at this time, just enough to knock the snow off the roof and reduce the pressure on the greenhouse.
It has been snowing for several days in a row, and the snow is getting thicker and thicker. There is a layer of ice on the road, and the road to the town is also blocked by snow!
But there is a temperature of more than ten degrees in the spring greenhouse, and the vegetables inside are full of vitality. The tomatoes are already covered with branches, and some are slightly pink. They will probably be ripe in about ten days!
Other vegetables can also be eaten. Only the watermelon seedlings grow slowly, and only some faint yellow buds can be seen. It is estimated that they will have to wait until spring before they can be eaten.
After clearing away the snow on the top of the greenhouse, Chunfeng picked some fresh vegetables and went back.
After eating dried vegetables for several months, Chunfeng really felt that his intestines were about to turn into dried vegetables!
Back home, Chunfeng put the vegetables in his hands into the kitchen basin, looked at his mother who was doing housework and said, "Mom, I picked some vegetables. Let's change the taste tonight and try the vegetables I grew." How's it going?"
