Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 55 Some planting plans

In addition to sisal planting, Wang Lu has also begun to work on his own planting plan.

Behind the villa construction site there is a piece of land that Parker has reclaimed in advance, which is the vegetable plot prepared by Wang Lu.

The vegetable seeds I got from home can be put to use.

Although his vegetable plot has been managed by the old couple since he was a child, Wang Lu has always been watching from the side.

Moreover, even the black women could grow food in the fertile black land here. Wang Lu didn't believe that he couldn't grow a garden of vegetables!

Put all the vegetable seeds into categories. They are all common domestic vegetable varieties.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, green vegetables, cabbage, long beans, etc. Since there are all kinds of vegetables that can basically be exported to the local area, Wu Dahai has prepared some for Wang Lu.

When he thought of the days when he had mainly eaten meat since he arrived there, Wang Lu couldn't wait to scatter the vegetable seeds.

Huang Zheng, who was at the villa construction site, saw this and kindly asked the workers to use the remaining wood to help build a fence, at least so that the guinea fowls could not easily break into the vegetable field.

There are also some wooden frames for cucumbers, luffas and other crops to cling to in the future.

In addition to vegetable cultivation, Wang Lu also started planting rice. We must eat the fragrant rice!
The local temperature is constant throughout the year, so there is no need to consider the timing of planting, and planting can be started at any time.

At present, all the manpower recruited by the ranch is devoted to sisal cultivation, and Wang Lu can only handle it personally.

Fortunately, he has been working in the fields with his parents since he was young. Moreover, before planting rice, he has to cultivate seedlings first. The labor intensity is not very high, so he can do it all by himself.

Moreover, Wang Lu did not choose the method of raising rice seedlings first, but planned to sow the rice seeds directly into the ground.

But those rice seeds must first be soaked in water to absorb enough moisture, and then they can be sown only after the grains are white, that is, after they germinate. This step requires temperature control.

The temperature in the pasture is very suitable for the germination of these grain seeds. However, you need to pay attention to the temperature difference at night and move all the grain seeds into the wooden house.

If the seedlings were raised first like in China, the process would be too cumbersome, and Wang Lu would be a little overwhelmed.

The disadvantage of sowing rice seeds is that it costs a little bit of seeds, but if the growing environment is good and the planting and maintenance are proper, the yield will be high!
Besides, are we the ones who care about the seed money now?
After soaking the rice seeds, Wang Lu was busy washing the vegetable seeds with warm water several times to prevent them from getting moldy. Considering the suitable local temperature, Wang Lu simply sown them directly into the vegetable field.

Wang Lu specially used a hoe to gather several vegetable plots and first planted crops with short growth cycles such as baby greens, water spinach, lettuce and leeks.

Especially for green vegetables, generally speaking, they can germinate in three or four days, and the growth rate is not bad. If nothing else happens, this will be the first vegetable grown in Wang Lu's own land to eat.

In addition, Wang Lu also specially opened up some corner plots to grow common condiments such as garlic, shallots, and ginger, which is enough for his own consumption.

Soon a large vegetable field was clearly arranged by Wang Lu, and all the vegetable seeds were sown. Wang Lu had to run back and forth several times just to get water from the newly dug well for watering.

"When the villas are all built and the water supply system is installed, there won't be such trouble."

Wang Lu had mentioned the vegetable field before during the early design. In the future, there would be a simple irrigation system in the vegetable field, which could ensure the water intake and irrigation of the entire vegetable field.Looking at the vegetable field in front of him, Wang Lu felt a sense of accomplishment. He was one step closer to his vision of building a small Jiangnan in Africa.

Moreover, Wang Lu also came up with some new plans. Just growing vegetables in this vegetable field seems a bit monotonous!

"It would be even better if we could plant some fruit trees or something!"

Plant in spring and harvest in autumn. In addition to vegetables throughout the year, you will also be able to eat small fruits from time to time. Don’t be too happy just thinking about it!

There are some berries distributed in the Woulu Mountains, but most of them are not big, and you have to search for them, which is not as convenient as planting fruit trees directly behind the house.

The local warm and tropical climate is suitable for the growth of many fruits. Thinking about this, Wang Lu suddenly had many choices.

But then Wang Lu faced an embarrassing problem.

That's the problem with fruit tree seedlings.

Although it is possible to grow fruit trees purely by planting seeds, the cycle is too long. Direct transplanting of seedlings is a more convenient option.

But going through such a complicated procedure for importing vegetable seeds made Wang Lu a little nervous. What he was most afraid of was trouble.

However, this problem did not bother Wang Lu for too long. After Huang Zheng, who was watching the villa construction site, learned Wang Lu's thoughts, Wang Lu suddenly became enlightened with his words.

Especially after Huang Zheng found out that Wang Lu's vegetable seeds were specially obtained through export channels after returning to China, he was even dumbfounded.

"Little boss, in fact, if you want to do these things, you don't have to go to such trouble at all. Not to mention the time and effort, the capital cost is not low!"

Huang Zheng smiled, while Wang Lu looked puzzled.

"Our domestic assistance to the local area is quite large. There are many large-scale construction projects in the local area that are carried out by our domestic construction companies. Every year, a large number of construction workers and technical talents support the local area. Basically, what can be obtained domestically These people can bring things, it depends on whether you have connections in this area, I happen to have some resources in this area, if you need it, I can help you contact them."

After Huang Zheng finished speaking, Wang Lu wished he could have two nests for himself.

How could I have ignored this matter? Before cooperating with me, I had completely neglected the close and sought the far away.

Wang Lu, whose thoughts were opened, quickly thanked Huang Zheng for the reminder and declined the other person's kindness.

Speaking of connections in this area, Wang Lu really has a suitable channel now.

I have just reached a priority cooperation agreement on sisal with the Agricultural Reclamation Group, and the other party is engaged in agricultural reclamation. It shouldn't be too difficult to find the other party to help me get some fruit tree seedlings or food crop seeds. .

So Wang Lu immediately started to contact him and directly called Kong Jianpeng, the local person in charge of Huaxia Agricultural Reclamation Group.

　I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve, and thank you for your support and understanding during this time!
