Uncle Wang has entered old age and chooses to spend his old age in this quiet mountain village. The air here is fresh and the seasons are distinct. There is a large open vegetable garden in front of and behind Uncle Wang's house, which is a good place for him to spend time and entertainment. On weekdays, Uncle Wang either turns over the soil or transplants a few pots of flowers and plants. This vegetable garden has become an indispensable part of his life.
Early this morning, Uncle Wang came to the vegetable garden as usual to prepare to remove some weeds. He noticed that the villagers had been buying fresh green beans at the market lately, which was said to be a great accompaniment to the drink. Uncle Wang himself had tasted the sweetness of the green beans, and couldn't help but want to try to plant some in his vegetable garden. As soon as he thought that he could eat the tender beans he planted in his yard, Uncle Wang's heart was ready to move. The green beans are fat and firm, all of them are good, and it is mouth-watering to think about. So Uncle Wang decided to give it a try and planted this new crop himself.
Although Uncle Wang has rich farming experience, he does not know much about the Xi of growing this kidney bean. He looked around and decided to consult the opinions of several large growers, so as not to make a detour in cultivation. Uncle Wang first visited the neighbor's house living in the east. The A family has been farming for generations and knows the cultivation and conditioning of various crops well. He told Uncle Wang that kidney beans could not be planted in the same field continuously, which would lead to "heavy cropping obstacles" and seriously affect yields. After hearing this, Uncle Wang suddenly realized that he couldn't choose a plot of land to cultivate as he wanted. Uncle Wang went to visit his neighbor B, who lived in the west. The B family has been growing kidney beans for many years and has thoroughly studied the water requirements of kidney beans. He emphasized to Uncle Wang that the watering of kidney beans needs to grasp the degree of "dry flowers and wet pods", and the requirements for water in different growth periods are also different.
Uncle Wang benefited a lot from the suggestions of the neighbors, and he also had a more comprehensive understanding of kidney bean cultivation. He lamented that this seemingly simple crop was so complicated to breed. After listening to the advice of the neighbors, Uncle Wang knew the precautions for kidney bean cultivation. He found a sunny place to sit down, admiring the spring colors of the vegetable garden while sorting out the key points of cultivation in his mind. Uncle Wang suddenly felt that his original idea was really naïve. The seemingly basic links such as site selection, watering, and fertilization are actually deeply knowledgeable. Kidney beans are a "delicate" crop, and if you don't follow its character, your efforts will be in vain.
Uncle Wang looked at the vegetable garden that sprouted sprouts, and gradually had a plan. Cultivation should not be repeated in places where legumes have been planted in the previous crop, which will cause growth stunting of kidney beans;Watering should grasp the accuracy of "dry flowers and wet pods", otherwise it is easy to cause flowers and fruits to rot. Uncle Wang confirmed them one by one in his heart, for fear of missing any key points. Early the next morning, Uncle Wang got up early in the morning and came to the vegetable garden to prepare for the cultivation of kidney beans. The morning breeze in early spring was still a little chilly, and Uncle Wang put on thick peasant clothes and began to work energetically. He chose a sunny plot in the southeast corner of the garden to grow kidney beans. This location has a mild climate and the previous crop has not been planted with leguminous crops, which is very suitable. Uncle Wang first loosened the soil, and then sprinkled rotten sheep manure on the furrow, hoping to increase soil fertility.
In order to control possible pests and diseases, Uncle Wang also planted some sunflowers next to the kidney bean plant. This combination can form a biological chain that inhibits the emergence and spread of pests. During the whole process, Uncle Wang was cautious, for fear that there would be any mistakes. In the blink of an eye, the kidney beans planted by Uncle Wang are growing happily, the leaves are green, and they are full of white and purple flowers. When Uncle Wang saw this lush scene, his heart blossomed. In the middle of summer, the kidney beans begin to bear fruit. Uncle Wang counted, and each kidney bean plant can produce more than 10 soybean pods, all of which have thin skin and tender flesh and bright colors.
Uncle Wang couldn't help but pick a bunch of fresh tender beans, wash them and try them on the table. The whole family was hooked, and even the shells were tender enough to be eaten, crisp and delicious. The amount of kidney beans harvested was too large, and Uncle Wang distributed them to several families in the village, and he also sold them in the market. Soon, some vendors came to buy it, and even praised this batch of kidney beans as a good product. Uncle Wang had a bumper harvest for the first time he cultivated, and he was sincerely happy. This year's harvest of kidney beans made Uncle Wang experience the joy of planting. He sat on a recliner in the hallway, slowly rocking as he recalled the whole process of cultivation.
Uncle Wang found out how superficial his original understanding of kidney bean planting was. If it weren't for the guidance of the neighbors, I would very likely have made detours in site selection, watering, prevention and control, etc., wasting a spring and summer hard work in vain. Now that I think about it, everything you grow has its own growth Xi, and you can't make subjective assumptions. This harvest is also a multi-faceted opportunity. Uncle Wang is determined to keep in mind these "no's" related to kidney bean cultivation and pass on these experiences to more vegetable farmers. Only by correctly understanding the temperament of crops can we obtain a harvest that achieves twice the result with half the effort.
