However, she still placed these eggplants on the black soil at the side. She planned to wait until everyone at home was asleep before she sneaked out and found a random place to plant them to see if they could survive.
It was not until everyone at home was asleep that Jiang Yue secretly went out to carry out the plan.
She will come back to the plant in a few days. If these eggplants were alive, she would use the yellow soil in the s.p.a.ce to raise more seedlings. She could even raise a large number of seedlings at once.
The family was busy transplanting the seedlings for the next few days.
There were 12 acres of seeded watermelons and seedless watermelons, 6 acres of strawberries, 3 acres of potatoes, and 1 acre of lemons.
There were a lot of watermelon seeds left at home last year. They were all seeded watermelons. Each seeded watermelon was so big; that one could imagine how many seeds there were in each watermelon. The bigger the watermelons, the more the seeds. Jiang Yue had also exchanged the old seeds with new ones. Every seed has germinated and grown into strong seedlings. In
addition, there had to be a certain distance between each plant. She was not surprised at all that she could plant 12 acres so swiftly.
Originally, there were not enough strawberries to plant six acres this year. It was because the strawberry plants on that acre of land could be planted separately, so they had enough to plant six acres in the end.
The reason why the lemons could be planted in one acre was because everyone knew that the lemons could grow very big, just like trees, so the distance between each plant was very large. There weren’t many of them, but they took up an acre of the barren land.
The planting of red, white, and purple sweet potatoes was a little different from last year. Last year, Jiang Yue took the seedlings directly from her s.p.a.ce. Each seedling was manually planted. However, this year, the seedlings were raised at home. If she wanted to plant more, it was best to plant them by cutting the roots and using them instead of planting new seeds.
Therefore, Jiang Yue told her family to let the three seedlings grow a little more and grow vines. Every section of the vines will then be cut off with scissors and then dug into the ground. Each section would be s.p.a.ced out from one another.
Originally, the family did not dare to do this because they were afraid that it would die without roots. However, they also found out that strawberries could be planted separately. That was because there were roots on each branch. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that they would not die if they knew how strawberries were grown.
However, when Xue Dafu came to look at the seedlings and pulled out the weeds for them, he accidentally stepped on a section of the white sweet potato seedling and threw it aside. It happened to be covered with some soil, but it was alive and grew a lot. Having that as a fact made the family agree to Jiang Yue’s suggestion with great joy.
Therefore, these three sweet potatoes were the last to be transplanted.
Five acres of red sweet potatoes were planted, three acres of white sweet potatoes were planted, and one acre of purple sweet potatoes were planted.
The weather was getting gloomy when they were cutting the three sweet potatoes. It was going to rain, but there was also an advantage to the bad weather. They would not have to water the sweet potatoes later.
Before planting the three types of sweet potatoes, they also planted purple corn, white corn, black corn, yellow corn, cotton, soybeans, sesame, and other things, sharing more than ten acres of land.
In total, the land used was close to 60 acres.
There were still more than 40 acres of s.p.a.ce left at home, which will be used to plant wild things that Jiang Yue and Zhongxi found.
On this day, Xue Dafu and the others did not ask anything after they had finished cutting the three types of sweet potatoes in the rain. Among the people hired to help with the planting, there was someone who could not help but ask with a smile as he took off his straw raincoat. “Jiang Yue, I heard that you and Xue Yan have asked Master Gu to hire several people who travel all over the world to dig wild things for you to plant. When will you bring them over to plant them?”
“Yeah, when are you going to plant them?” Everyone looked at Jiang Yue and asked with a smile..
