Lao Li was born in a family of vegetable growers, and has worked hard in the fields with his parents since he was a child. Watching the various vegetables in the field turn from seeds to sprouts and then grow into edible appearance, Lao Li found the process magical and full of fun. He is also often praised by his parents, "Lao Li, you really have a talent for farming!."”。This planted the seeds for Lao Li to engage in planting work in the future.
When he grew up, although Lao Li left his hometown, his interest in growing vegetables never waned. He always misses the hard work but happy and happy times of his childhood. Now that he has a small plot of land, Lao Li decided to show his talent and skills in farming again. He wants to try to grow lettuce, lettuce and lettuce, three of his favorite vegetables. Lao Li hopefully imagined that his vegetable patch would be full of green vegetables, and that he and his friends would be able to enjoy a bumper harvest. This sparked his strong interest and determination in planting. Lao Li began to prepare everything needed for planting in earnest, calculating the right time and preparing the soil and fertilizer. He waited anxiously and expectantly for the day of planting, hoping that his garden would soon produce delicious vegetables.
This is Lao Li's dream when he was a child, and it is also his dream now. Lao Li clearly remembers that his parents said that mid to late March in spring is the best time to sow vegetables in the north. At this time, the temperature is exactly 15-20 °C, which is neither cold nor hot, which is suitable for vegetable germination and growth. Too cold will cause slow germination, and too hot will be prone to growth and pumping. Choosing the right sowing season is crucial for Lao Li. So Lao Li was looking forward to the arrival of March. He made preparations in advance, tidying up the ground and shoveling the accumulated compost into the soil. In mid-March, Lao Li happily came to the ground with a seed box.
He hummed softly as he sowed the seeds of lettuce, lettuce and lettuce in turn using seed strips. Watching the seeds enter the soil, Lao Li imagined with great interest that they would soon sprout and grow. At this moment, Lao Li seems to have returned to his childhood, the happy time of sowing seeds with his parents. He believes that by carefully choosing the time to sow seeds, he will be able to grow large and good vegetables. After the seeds germinated, small shoots emerged from the ground, and Lao Li was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He began to devote himself to the management of vegetable seedlings. Lao Li knew that the most important thing in this period was water management, he watered regularly to ensure soil moisture, and often weeded and pests to ensure that pests were not infested. The vegetable seedlings gradually grew up, and Lao Li saw the bright green little lives in the ground, and his heart was warm. At this time, it is necessary to carry out thinning, and Lao Li carefully uses his hands to open some vegetable seedlings and leave a proper plant spacing.
He also deliberately cultivated strong lettuce seedlings in the yard with high-quality soil for later transplanting. Looking at the neatly growing vegetables in the vegetable garden, Lao Li felt happy and satisfied. It's the result of his hard work and a testament to his talent for planting. Lao Li believes that through his careful cultivation and management, the vegetable seedlings will definitely grow vigorously and eventually bear abundant fruits. After the vegetable seedlings gradually grew up, Lao Li knew that reasonable fertilization at this time was very important for the growth of vegetables. He remembers his parents saying that leafy vegetables need nitrogen, and lettuce needs potassium. So Lao Li carefully calculated the fertilizer requirements of different vegetables and went to the market to buy nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, etc.
Lao Li hummed softly while carefully weighing the amount of fertilizer with an electronic scale, and then sprinkled it evenly in the vegetable field. He is well aware of the influence of chemical elements on growth, too little in quantity to meet the demand, too much will be poisoned. Therefore, Lao Li strictly controls the amount to ensure that the fertilizer achieves the best effect. Seeing that the vegetable seedlings had absorbed nutrients and their growth rate had increased significantly, Lao Li clapped his hands happily. He judged that his proper fertilization was successful, which would make the vegetables grow better and faster. Lao Li smiled with satisfaction, and his planting skills improved again.
After the vegetables have grown to a certain stage, Lao Li knows that the supply of water must be strictly controlled. He remembers his parents saying that too little water will affect growth, but too much will not work, and it is easy to accumulate water or germinate worms. So Lao Li observed the soil moisture in the field every day, weighed the weight of the leaves and the degree of water storage, and experience told him whether and how much to water at this time. After watering, Lao Li will stand quietly next to the vegetable patch and observe the reaction of the vegetables. He noticed that the leaves soon became fuller and shinier. In addition, the lettuce can be seen from the cracks in the soil. This shows that the water is properly managed, Lao Li thought happily.
Through his strict water control, Lao Li believes that vegetables will grow healthily and quickly. He remembers that as a child, his mother praised him for his talent in this area. Now Lao Li finally has the opportunity to play his strengths again, and he will definitely have a bumper harvest in the future. Under the careful care of Lao Li, the vegetables are growing well, and August is the harvest season. Early that morning, Lao Li happily came to the vegetable garden and saw that the garden was full of life. The tender green leaves of lettuce are layered on top of each other, the yellowish leaf tips of lettuce shimmer in the sun, and the lettuce stems in the soil are round and lovely. Lao Li smiled happily, and his heart swelled with indescribable joy and satisfaction. This is the scene of his dreams, and it is the reward of his hard work. A fruitful vegetable garden heralds a prosperous life, and Lao Li sincerely thanked the earth for its gifts.
He also thought that these fruits and vegetables could not only be eaten beautifully by his own family, but also provided for more people, which made him feel very relieved and proud. The joy of harvest came spontaneously, and Lao Li once again felt the joy of working in the fields as a child. He is determined to continue to carry forward this seed and let more people experience the joy of planting. After the bumper harvest, Lao Li decided to write an article about his planting experience and skills and publish it to share with more growers. Based on his years of practical experience, he described how to choose the right season, mix chemical fertilizers, control moisture and other skills. Tips for controlling common pests and diseases are also introduced. Lao Li hopes that by explaining his planting secrets, he can inspire and help more vegetable farmers.
After the article was published, many letters were received from readers. Everyone praised Lao Li's detailed sharing to make him suddenly, it turned out that there is so much knowledge in growing vegetables. Many vegetable farmers said that the planting skills mentioned by Lao Li in the article are very practical, and they have applied them to practice and achieved good results. Lao Li was very pleased to see it, and he was most happy that his experience could help others. Lao Li believes that the dissemination of planting knowledge and technology is no less important than actual planting. He will continue to write steadfastly and use his rich experience to inspire and help more growers. This is also one of the most meaningful pursuits in Lao Li's life.
