The Big Landlord

According to the interviews in the newspaper, the cultivation of giant vegetables requires suitable soil and careful care for a long time. Wang Ben has no land, and the soil on Daqing Mountain is not suitable, and there is no sunshine. The distance is still too far. It's still vacant and fully usable.

The backyard is not too big. The radishes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes buried in the ground are difficult to take care of. We can only choose fruits and vegetables that grow on the ground. Green vegetables, peppers, eggplants, etc. are not easy to store. After some comparisons, Wang Ben decided to grow pumpkins.

Now is a good time to promote pumpkin seedlings, the temperature is very suitable, the growth of pumpkins is not slow, supplemented by the acceleration of nutrients, the effect will be seen soon, and if it fails, you can try again.

Large-scale pumpkins have appeared in China, and the unique seeds are not difficult to find. As early as when he was planting roses, he had seen them in the flower and bird market. The pumpkins grown from these seeds can reach a hundred catties, but they are not delicious. Some more leisurely people cultivate it as a landscape tree, and it is also placed as a landscape in many hotels.

Just do what you said, Wang Ben didn't feel bored in an instant, and he was not even interested in playing billiards, as if he suddenly found a new goal, and started to get busy excitedly.

I went to Yongfeng City to weigh one or two seeds, only a few dozen. The cultivation of giant vegetables is not about many, but the essence. As long as one big pumpkin can be grown, it is enough.

I came to the backyard with a hoe, took out the energy I used to dig deep and accumulate grain, and began to carefully cultivate the soil, grinding every piece of refurbished soil into pieces.

If you want to grow giant pumpkins, it is not enough to rely on space nutrients alone. Although with the help of nutrients, it can be a bit larger than ordinary fruits, but it is still not up to the standard of giant vegetables. If you don’t have 500 catties, go to participate It is estimated that even the championship is not allowed to enter.

I went to the town to buy a pack of compound fertilizer, and took it away cheekily to the neighbor who was feeding the pigs with a load of manure to make the base fertilizer thick and solid. Putting a pumpkin seed into the ground, and making such a big noise for a few seeds, I believe those veteran farmers in the team who have been planting the land for decades will find it incredible.

From the moment he planted the seeds, he began to pay attention to the situation of the seeds every day. He ran to the backyard several times a day before they started to germinate. A son is no different, nothing excites him more than this, and it seems that all worries have been left behind.

As soon as she heard about cultivating giant vegetables like those in the newspaper, the little girl Linglong was no less interested than him. She often ran to the backyard after class. I squatted next to me and watched with my eyes wide open for a while, until the teacher urged me to go to class, and then reluctantly left.

After waiting for several days, there was no movement in the field, not to mention pumpkin seedlings, not even a weed.

It stands to reason that it should have grown long ago. Wang Ben felt that something was wrong. He carefully turned over the soil. Where there were pumpkin seeds, they became fertilizer together with the fertile soil. Too much base fertilizer was applied, and the seeds had already rotted away. , this is the first time to cultivate giant vegetables, and it failed miserably.

Scratching his head in frustration, he started the second round of planting unwillingly. This time he scattered the seeds in the not-so-fertile soil next to him, preparing to grow seedlings before transplanting.

This time, it finally didn't break again, and after two days, several pumpkin seedlings grew smoothly, which looked very healthy.

After applying a small amount of base fertilizer, gently transplant the pumpkin seedlings that have eaten through the nutrients into the fertile soil, and wait patiently again.

The pumpkin seedlings are growing well,

And it is very strong, with the acceleration of nutrients, it will start to grow stems and grow vines in a few days, and it will bloom after half a month, and after a few days, the small pumpkins will officially grow.

During this period of time, Wang Ben was very careful, watering every two or three days, and constantly replenishing fertilizers. The proportion of fertilizers used in each stage was different, and supplemented with chemical agents to achieve the maximum effect.

Not only that, but the pumpkin vines were also trimmed, leaving only five vines, more than 30 leaves, and all the redundant small pumpkins, leaving only one on each pumpkin vine, so that it is possible to grow bigger.

A few small pumpkins began to grow rapidly under careful care. In just one day, they grew from a small fruit to the size of a washbasin.

Three days later, the pumpkin was already bigger than the bottom of the basket, and it was estimated to weigh seven to eighty catties. Seeing it, Wang Ben was full of enthusiasm and confidence. He kept a measuring tape with him at all times. How much did it grow.

Linglong was equally jubilant, even more enthusiastic than him, and often took the initiative to take over the tasks of fertilizing and watering, and even the piggy Benben was not allowed to approach, for fear of being broken.

But this kind of momentum didn't last long. After only a week, the pumpkins suddenly stopped growing. After exhausting all kinds of growth methods, they just didn't change.

They were born on vines and weighed, and none of them weighed more than two hundred catties. Although they were twice as big as the average ones, they did not meet my expectations at all.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out the reason. He really couldn't figure out how others could grow giant vegetables.

Could it be such a failure? Wang Ben suddenly felt very disappointed and reconciled to the result of the continuous high passion.

"Your sister!" He cursed angrily, stepped hard on a pumpkin vine not far from his feet, rubbed the takeaway vigorously, and left depressedly.

Sitting quietly at home for a while, having a meal by the way, I came to the backyard again with a hoe, ready to eradicate all the annoying pumpkins and pumpkin vines.

Raising the hoe, he was about to hit a pumpkin, but he stopped suddenly when he lifted it in mid-air. He unexpectedly found that the pumpkin seemed to grow a little on the vine he had stepped on.

Isn't that useful? Wang Ben was not quite sure, so he hurriedly put away the hoe and observed carefully again.

This day was the most frequent trip to the backyard since he cultivated pumpkins. He visited every half an hour and measured it many times, even calculating it in millimeters.

The pumpkin really grew, and it was still the same as before, growing more than ten catties in just half a day.

It turns out that this is also okay, haha! Wang Ben couldn't help laughing, and stomped on the vines on the ground.

All the pumpkins continued to grow, and after more than ten days passed, they finally stopped growing until they weighed about 500 catties.

Wang Ben is already very satisfied with the inexperienced cultivation and growing up like this. The All England Championships will not be held until October, and it is still early, and there is plenty of time to continue exploring.

All the vines were dug up, along with the pumpkins, and a new round of experiments was started.
