When the spring breeze in March blows peach blossoms, apricot blossoms and pear blossoms, our vegetable garden is also full of vitality and does not live up to the spring scenery. Leek stored for a winter crept out of the soil like grass, tender and green. Potato buds also arched out of the soil, and in a few days, oily green leaves were basking in warm sunshine and absorbing fresh air. Small celery shakes its slender body and exudes a quiet fragrance, which is higher than coarse lettuce, bowl-shaped lettuce and serrated ink! When the cabbage moss is pinched off, just eat it when it is wet. Wash, add onion, garlic, sour pepper, stir-fry in a hot pot and taste chopsticks. It's spicy, tender and sweet. Chew beautifully, and your lips and teeth are fragrant. Wine is better than fish and is suitable for all ages. At this time, garlic seedlings are also thriving. Use it to stir-fry a piece of hot and sour melon seeds and bacon, get together with friends and relatives, talk freely and drink strong soju, and you won't feel greasy. Drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in large chunks will make you feel heroic and like a Liangshan hero!
There was a lot of rain this spring, and the green vegetable fields in the garden grew vigorously. If you can't finish eating cauliflower, lettuce, lettuce and some onion and garlic condiments, send some to your relatives and friends to taste. They all say that vegetables without chemical fertilizer are delicious! Get their praise, my heart is as happy as when they eat green vegetables. On rainy days, the vegetables in the garden are particularly green and energetic! In my spare time, I watch them quietly under an umbrella, watching them bolting, flowering, stretching and shaking off the rain; It's sunny. It's time to shovel the ground, row onions, hoe potatoes, water leeks and cover plant ash. I care for the vegetables in the garden like a child and care about their growth like a child. At the vernal equinox, the bean flower is dotted with small black spots, just like a baby's small eyes peeping into this magical spring world. Pea flowers bloom in vain, just like white butterflies perched on vines. When I went to pick pea tips, a white butterfly flew in, which made me look as if I had waited for a while. The flowering period of rape has passed, but there are still bees flying to pick flowers. At this time, the campus is full of the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the faces of teachers and students are filled with smiling faces in spring. "Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans." Choose ploughed land, plant peanuts, corn, cucumber, bitter gourd, white melon, green beans and cowpea, plant loofah and pumpkin beside the garden, and plant plum beans beside the ditch to build a gourd rack, which not only makes rational use of waste resources, but also beautifies the environment and gains a little. As the saying goes, it's better to do more than one thing, isn't it wonderful?
"Tian Jia has less leisure, and people are twice as busy in May." Before and after Xiaoman, the seedlings planted by farmers grew taller, so they should plow, rake and transplant seedlings separately. After cutting rape, you should plant a crop of corn. When the awn is planted and the wheat is yellow, we will take out the grindstone to try the sickle. Farmers are very busy. There are many busy figures in our small vegetable garden: those who drag broad beans and peas, those who cut rapeseed, and those who grow eggplant, cucumber and pepper. Then dig garlic and potatoes. In order to catch up with the farming season, we should refrain from being tired, sweat a lot, and rush to sow soybeans, mung beans and adzuki beans in the next season, or sprinkle a sesame seed and insert several ridges of sweet potatoes. Some people can't stand suffering, can't stand being tired, and are afraid of picking up soil and weeding. The vegetables they get are very cheap, so they don't do it because they think it's not worth the candle. They gave the garden to someone else. I think people who can persist in making vegetable gardens for five or six years should be patient and diligent. Brown is fragrant during the Dragon Boat Festival. While tasting homemade yellow rice wine and fragrant zongzi, I also tasted leeks, onions, garlic cloves, potatoes, green beans and cucumbers obtained by my own labor ... The pleasure of Tao Yuanming's "picking vegetables in my garden" and the intoxication of Lu You's "cutting leeks in the garden is not as good as meat" have stirred up my heart. I think the pastoral life is leisurely, quiet and comfortable.
In summer, the temperature is high, everything grows luxuriantly, and nature exudes the strongest and most full vitality. At this time, the garden is full of vitality, and fruits and vegetables are the most abundant. Spicy seedlings grow sharp and long peppers under the nourishment of manure. Flourishing small white flowers bloom with peppers, facing the sun during the day and collecting dew at night. How lively! There are many purple eggplants hanging on the branches of eggplant, waiting for the owner to pick them and go back to fry eggplant cakes! The yellow flower on the cucumber shelf opened its trumpet anxiously and cried, "Cucumber, don't grow too fast, or the vine won't tie you up, and the broken stem will break you, and we will suffer." Bitter gourd vines that have sprouted seeds have no distractions and climb up the pole wholeheartedly. The finely divided flowers reveal a little bitter taste. Half-height tomato seedlings love to bask in the sun, with thick branches and heavy fruits. It wants to turn green eggplant into red tomato early. Attract the attention of the host and show off your advantages! After the storm that night, the chest-high corn seedling was very grateful to its master for his help. Like a tenacious person who has experienced setbacks, he has strengthened his faith and rooted deeper and more firmly. In less than half a month, it has been raised. Under the scorching sun, it wore a flower and a beard. It was beautiful: white, pink and brown. It looked shiny and fragrant. These beautiful corn whiskers remind me of Barbie's wig in the mall. Different faces with different wigs look very foreign, which women and children like. But in my opinion, it is far less lively than the beard hanging on this corn stalk. In the middle of summer vacation, loofah vines are covered with piles, poles, ropes and fences in the garden, and the long loofah is hung by a ruler. You don't really look like a stick used by a girl's daughter-in-law to wash clothes in the river. No wonder the old man called it: wooden stick loofah. Pick two and you can make a big bowl of soup. Pumpkin vine is like the legendary dragon, which climbs with its teeth bared, sends out many heads and bears many melons. Not satisfied, it desperately blooms fragrant yellow flowers, covers the grass with the big leaves of cattail grass, and makes the grass only scold it for being arrogant. There are several gourds with small heads and big bellies hanging on the gourd rack, which is a good ingredient for stew! Plum beans such as purple crescent moon are quite delicious, whether they are fried by wire drawing or pickled and mixed. That day, Lao Wang said that there were guests at home and they were not allowed to go shopping. He walked around the vegetable garden with a bamboo basket, and his wife actually cooked six dishes, two soups and three cold dishes. "Talk about mulberry with a cup, talk about hands with hemp", talk about pastoral while teaching and educating people. It can be said that it is fun in the cup and fun in the garden.
In early autumn, the night is cool. Break corn, dig peanuts, enjoy the gift of yellow land, the lingering fragrance is not exhausted, it is time to worry about planting radish and cabbage. For ordinary people, radish and cabbage are staple foods, and they have to be eaten every day because they are cheap. But it is difficult to grow. When turning over the ground, or sowing, or burning, we should water and fertilize and build nests. When the soil moisture is good, the radish will germinate in three or four days, and the cabbage will take six or seven days. Radish cabbage with sprouts is more fragile than soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. It cannot live without the sun and cannot stand the scorching sun. Therefore, when radish and cabbage buds meet the noon sun, they should be covered with corn stalks or peanut seedlings, and then uncovered when the sun goes down in the afternoon. Let the dew reduce the moisture at night. A week, Miao will be better. After watering the manure twice, the radish and cabbage grew taller with the wind. When raising, you should mow the grass and loosen the soil, interplant it, and then use drugs to treat insects. Another teacher did an experiment without using pesticides. As a result, the leaves of radish and cabbage were eaten as polished rods by insects for half a month. Can photosynthesis still go on? It seems that most of the vegetables that brag about not using chemical fertilizers and pesticides are suspicious. If the weather is dry, carrying water and fighting drought will be enough for you to be busy for a while.
As the saying goes, "seven onions and eight garlic." Divide the onions and arrange the garlic, and it is around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Choose a good day to knock out the soybeans and sesame seeds in the cage on the playground. Stir-fried vegetables with sesame oil. If you are free, drinking boiled water with honey, sugar and sesame oil once in a while can not only nourish your stomach and beautify your face, but also achieve a good effect of moistening your intestines and relaxing your bowels! Soybean is used to grow bean sprouts, stir-fry beans, beat soybean milk, and eat it in grinding bean curd, so the benefits are much more natural. It's the autumnal equinox, and it's time to dig those sweet potato ridges! An aunt who raises pigs comes to cut sweet potato vines first, and then helps you dig sweet potatoes. With the joy of harvest, dig with hoes and shovels. Long, big, thick and round sweet potatoes were pulled out of the soil and thrown into baskets, baskets and pockets. Passers-by stopped to watch, my wife gave them some to taste, and some picked up sweet potatoes and patted the mud to chew. Sweet potato and praise from My Sweetie made me feel comfortable and intoxicated.
I remember when I was a child, we were citizens, and we were always envious when we saw other children carrying sweet potatoes and corn. A few times, I simply traded my rice or noodles for their sweet potatoes, and we all got what we wanted. After eating a bowl of rice, I licked the rim of the bowl like a kitten. In the early winter of that year, I heard a friend say: In the past two days, people from the Second Society and the Fourth Team have been ploughing the fields and dug up very hard sweet potatoes. They can secretly get some sweet potatoes with the stone cow craftsmen. The next day, I got up early with some friends, and the hay on the ridge was covered with glistening frost. We rubbed hands and played for a long time, and then Shi Niu craftsmen came to the fields slowly with a long pipe and a plow. I am nimble, jumping around with craftsmen in Shi Niu, risking being pricked by plowshares, and sneaking into seven or eight sweet potatoes, big and small, half tied and half tied, and stuffing several clothes pockets. When I got home, I was praised by my third sister, and my heart was full of joy. In the evening, Third Sister made us sweet potato batter. We each ate two bowls and burped, revealing the sweet potato flavor of sweet noodles.
Although people are now in middle age and sweet potatoes are cheap, their love for sweet potatoes remains unchanged. Sweet potatoes are collected ashore and distributed to neighbors, relatives and friends in half. The rest, put in a big wooden basin and enjoy it slowly. In the winter morning, I was smothered by the white air, holding a rice bowl, eating steaming sweet potato porridge or sweet potato corn, and looking at the scenery of the fields outside the window, my hands were hot and my heart was warm. In the long winter night, when the power goes out, it's boring and lonely. My wife made a fire, and everyone was chatting about the past while eating baked sweet potatoes. The air is filled with long-lost sweet fragrance! When the weather is fine, you can also steam the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces to dry. Children like to eat. They look bright and yellow. It's soft and fleshy in your hand. Chew them. They are moderate in hardness and always energetic. If you can't finish eating more sweet potatoes, you can also stir-fry them with potato flour or eat them in hot pot with sweet potato vermicelli. If you cook for a long time, they won't paste the soup. It's delicious and nutritious. According to a magazine, sweet potato contains dietary fiber, carotene, vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as potassium, iron, copper, selenium, calcium and other trace elements 10. With high nutritional value, it is called the most balanced healthy food by nutritionists. Knowing this, my love for sweet potatoes seems to have deepened a lot.
On the hillside in winter, flowers and plants wither and trees are bare and lifeless. In the field, winter wheat and rape seedlings huddled in the cold wind to comfort each other, which was very monotonous. However, when you walk into our vegetable garden, the different green color in winter will open your eyes in surprise: leeks are as thick as fingers, and garlic seedlings are cold-resistant and green. Lettuce seedlings are so cold that their leaves turn purple that they dare not speak, just trying to save their lives. Who is greener than fist-sized lettuce rolled up and Chinese ink dishes? Green spinach and coriander attract them with the green of blue eyes. Potherb mustard and wormwood absorbed enough nutrients to make their hair fluffy like a lion's head, and their strength and green wildness reached the extreme. "Ling Binghuan, radish is long." At this time, the white radish grows thick and long, and it is time to start stewing. Of course, carrots also happen to be seasoned, which is both beautiful and delicious. At this time, Chinese cabbage is the most eye-catching. Some of them wrapped themselves up to keep out the cold. One of them weighs only five or six pounds, waiting for the owner to take it home for the New Year every day! Save the cabbage owner without the core for cauliflower next spring! Winter is the season of accumulating strength. When I was tired of tongue farming or reading, I picked up the dung bucket and heard the pole singing all the way. My spirit rose sharply and my fatigue disappeared. It will be more fun to compete with two or three vegetable garden lovers for picking manure. You come and go to see who scoops up dung, who picks up more dung and who waters the vegetables evenly. When the dung bucket is put down, the garden is green and smelly. Sweating like rain, let your eyes quietly touch those green and tender Xin Wei babies, and the joy and enrichment in your heart drove away the previous depression and melancholy. At this moment, I suddenly understood how much the word "home" affects people! No matter how rich and noble a person is, if his or her heart loses a beautiful "home", then his or her heart becomes a rootless duckweed. No matter where he (she) is, an impetuous heart is always difficult to be stable and calm.
I love my vegetable garden. I go to the garden almost every day. Watching seedlings change clothes and take root, watching birds peck and play, watching labor weeding and watering manure, and watching women carry baskets and pick vegetables ... If I don't get close to them for three or five days, I will feel empty. I accompanied them through spring, summer, autumn and winter, through ups and downs. We face each other, we are together. Babies in the garden are like my students. Because of my cultivation, they grow healthily and healthily, and I have a sufficient sense of acquisition; They are like my children. Because of my cultivation, they live happily, and I have a real sense of happiness.
After years of hard work in the Four Seasons Green Park, I finally found the source of happiness, understood the language of nature, tasted the taste of happiness and pursued my spiritual home. "Kwai is in the green garden, and the morning dew is waiting for the sun. In spring, everything is brilliant ... "The children's reading made me feel the loss and preciousness of time. I heard that there is new news about the construction of the teaching building. I wonder how long the story of me and this vegetable garden can last.
