When the spring breeze in March blows open peach blossoms, apricot blossoms and pear blossoms, our vegetable garden is also full of vitality and does not live up to the spring scenery. Leeks that have been stored for a winter quietly emerge from the soil like grass, tender and green. The potato buds also arched out of the soil, and in a few days, the oily green leaves were basking in the warm sunshine and absorbing the fresh air. Small celery shakes its slender body and exudes a quiet fragrance, which is taller than thick lettuce, bowl-shaped lettuce and serrated ink dish! When the cabbage moss is pinched off, it will be eaten at the right tide. Wash it, add onion, garlic and sour chili pepper, stir-fry in a hot pot, and taste a chopstick. It is very hot, tender and sweet. Chew it beautifully, and the lips and teeth are full of fragrance. Wine is better than fish, suitable for all ages. At this time, garlic seedlings are also thriving. Use it to fry pieces of bacon with hot and sour seeds, get together with friends and relatives, talk freely, drink strong soju, and you won't feel greasy. Drinking in a big bowl and eating large pieces of meat will make you feel heroic and like a Liangshan hero!
There was a lot of rain this spring, and the green vegetable beds 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, the vegetables without chemical fertilizer are really delicious! Get their praise, my heart is as happy as when they eat green vegetables. In rainy days, the vegetables in the garden are particularly green and energetic! In my spare time, I watch them quietly with an umbrella, watching them bolting, flowering, stretching and shaking off the rain; It's sunny, it's time to shovel the ground, it's time to row onions, it's time to weed potatoes, it's time to water leeks and cover plant ash. I care for the vegetables in the garden like a child, and I care about their growth like a child. At the vernal equinox, the broad bean flowers are dotted with little black dots, just like a baby's little eyes peeping at this magical spring world. The pea flowers are blooming in vain, just like white butterflies perched on vines. When I went to pick the pea tips, I actually flew a white butterfly, which made me look like wait for a while. Rape flowers have passed the flowering period, but there are still bees flying to pick flowers. At this time, the campus is full of the sweet smell 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 the overturned land, plant peanuts, corn, cucumber, bitter gourd, white melon, green beans and cowpea, plant loofah and pumpkin at the edge of the garden, and plant plum beans at the edge of the ditch to build a gourd rack, which not only makes rational use of abandoned resources, but also beautifies the environment and gains a little. As the saying goes, it's more than one thing, isn't it beautiful?
"Tian Jia is less idle, and people are twice as busy in May." Before and after Xiaoman, the seedlings planted by farmers grew taller, so they had to 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 have to take out the sharpening stone to try the sickle. Farmers are busy, and there are many busy figures in our small vegetable garden: those who drag broad beans and peas, those who cut rape, and those who plant eggplant, cucumber and chili 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 next season's soybeans, mung beans and adzuki beans, or sprinkle a sesame seed and insert a few ridges of sweet potatoes. Some people can't stand the pain, can't stand the fatigue, and are afraid of picking up dirt and weeding. The vegetables they get are cheap, so they don't do it because they think it's not worth the loss. They give the garden to others. I think people who can persist in cooking vegetable gardens for five or six years should be patient and diligent. Brown is fragrant in the Dragon Boat Festival. While tasting homemade yellow rice wine and fragrant zongzi, I also enjoyed the 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 better than meat" rippled my heart, and I felt that the pastoral life was leisurely, tranquil and pleasant.
In summer, the temperature is high, everything grows luxuriantly, and nature radiates the strongest and full vitality. At this time, the garden is full of vitality, and melons and vegetables are the most abundant. Spicy seedlings grow sharp long peppers under the nourishment of manure, and the prosperous small white flowers bloom with peppers, welcoming the sun during the day and receiving dew at night, which is very 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 mouth anxiously and cried, "Don't grow too fast, cucumber, or the vines will not tie you, break the stem and break you, and we will suffer." Bitter gourd vines that have sprouted seeds have no distractions, and they are single-minded to climb up along the pole. The finely divided flowers reveal a little bitter flavor. Half-man-tall tomato seedlings love to bask in the sun, with thick branches and heavy fruits. It wants to turn green eggplant into red tomatoes earlier. Attract the attention of the host and show off your merits! After experiencing the storm that night, the chest-high corn seedling is very grateful to its master for helping it. Like a tenacious person who has experienced setbacks, it has strengthened its belief and rooted its roots deeper and more firmly. In less than half a month, it has been raised by people. In the hot sun, it has a top flower and a beard, which is beautiful: white, pink and brown, which looks shiny, smooth and fragrant. These beautiful corn whiskers remind me of Barbie's wigs in shopping malls. Different faces are matched with different wigs, which look foreign, and women and children like them. But in my opinion, it is far less lively than the whiskers hanging on this corn stalk. In the middle of summer vacation, loofah vines are crawling all over the garden piles, poles, ropes and fences, and the long loofah is hung by a ruler. You don't say it's really like a wooden stick used by a girl's daughter-in-law to wash clothes in the river. No wonder the old man calls it: wooden stick loofah. You can make a big bowl of soup by picking two. Pumpkin vines are 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, and covers the grass with the big leaves of the cattail leaf, making the grass only scold it for being puffed up. There are several gourds with small heads and big bellies hanging on the gourd rack, which is a good ingredient for stew! Plum beans like purple crescent moon are quite delicious whether they are fried by drawing or pickled and mixed. On that day, Lao Wang said that there were guests at home, and the guests were not allowed to go shopping. He took a bamboo basket to the vegetable garden for a turn, and his daughter-in-law actually cooked six dishes, two soups and three cold dishes. "to talk mulberry and hemp with our cups in our hands", while talking about garden farming, talks about teaching and educating people. It can be said that there is interest in the cup and fun in the garden.
Beginning of autumn in the morning and cool at night. Break off the corn, dig peanuts, enjoy the gift of yellow land, and the lingering fragrance has not been exhausted, so it's time to worry about planting radish and cabbage. For ordinary people, radish and cabbage are staple goods dishes, which are cheap and have to be eaten every day. But it is very difficult to grow. When the ground is turned over, or when it is broadcast or lit, it is necessary to water manure and build a nest. When the soil moisture is good, the radish sprouts in three or four days, while the cabbage takes six or seven days. The radish cabbage with sprouts is more fragile than the soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts, and it can't live without the sun and can't stand the scorching sun. Therefore, when the radish cabbage sprouts meet the midday sun, they should be covered with corn stalks or peanut seedlings, and then uncovered in the afternoon when the sun is west. At night, let the dew lower the moisture. For a week, it would be nice if Miao was stronger. After being watered with manure for two times, the radish and cabbage grew longer with the wind. When it was raised, it was necessary to mow the grass and loosen the soil, and it was necessary to inter-plant, and then it was necessary to cure insects with drugs. There was also a teacher who did an experiment and didn't use pesticides. As a result, radish and cabbage leaves were eaten into polished rods by insects for half a month. Can photosynthesis still be carried out? It seems that those green vegetables that boast of not using chemical fertilizers or pesticides are mostly suspicious. If the weather is dry, the work of 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." Divided the onion and arranged the garlic, and it was around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Choose a good day to knock out the soybeans and sesame seeds caged on the playground. Use sesame seeds for sesame oil to stir-fry vegetables. If you have leisure, drinking boiled water with honey, sugar and sesame oil at intervals can not only nourish your stomach and beautify your face, but also achieve the good effect of moistening your intestines and treating constipation! Soybeans are used to grow bean sprouts, stir-fry beans, beat soybean milk and eat in grinding bean curd, so the benefits are naturally much more. It's autumn equinox, so it's time to dig those ridges of sweet potatoes! A pig-raising aunt came to cut the sweet potato vine first, and then helped to dig the sweet potato for you. With the joy of harvest, dig with a hoe and shovel. One by one, long, big, thick and round sweet potatoes are pulled out of the soil and thrown into baskets, baskets and pockets. Passers-by stopped to watch, and my wife gave them some to taste, and some picked up sweet potatoes and patted the mud to chew them. The sweet potatoes and praises 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 from my friends: In the past two days, people from the Second Society and the Fourth Team have been ploughing the fields, and they have dug very hard sweet potatoes, so they can sneak some sweet potatoes with Shi Niu craftsmen. The next day, I got up early with a few friends, and the hay on the ridge was covered with glistening frost. We rubbed our hands and played for a long time, and then the Shi Niu craftsman came slowly to the field with a long pipe and a plow. With sharp-eyed and quick-witted, I followed Shi Niu's craftsman to jump around, risking being injured by plowshares, and slipped into seven or eight sweet potatoes, large and small, half-tied, and filled 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 cooked sweet potato batter for us. Each of us ate two bowls, and our bellies burped, revealing the sweet potato flavor of sweet noodles.
Although people are middle-aged now, sweet potatoes are cheap, but their love for sweet potatoes remains unchanged. Sweet potatoes are collected ashore and given to neighbors, relatives and friends in half. The rest, put it in a big wooden basin and enjoy it slowly. In the morning of winter, I am suffocating with 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 are hot and my heart is warm. In the long winter night, when the electricity was cut off, it was very boring and lonely. My wife started a fire, and everyone was eating baked sweet potatoes while chatting about the past. The air was filled with long-lost sweet fragrance! In good weather, you can also steam the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces to dry them. Children love to eat. They look bright and yellow. They are soft and fleshy in their hands. Chew them. They are moderately sweet and hard, and they are always energetic. If you can't finish eating more sweet potatoes, you can also mix them with potato powder and spread them for frying, or eat them in hot pot with sweet potato vermicelli. If you cook them for a long time, they won't paste the soup, which is delicious and nutritious. According to a magazine, sweet potato contains dietary fiber, carotene, vitamins A, B, C, E, potassium, iron, copper, selenium, calcium and other trace elements 10, which has high nutritional value and is called the most balanced health food by nutritionists. Knowing this, my love for sweet potatoes seems to have deepened a lot.
On the hillside in winter, flowers and plants decline, and trees are bare and lifeless. In the field, winter wheat and rape seedlings huddle in the cold wind to comfort each other, which is very monotonous. However, when you walk into our vegetable garden, the different green in winter will make you open your eyes in surprise: chives are as thick as fingers, and garlic seedlings are cold-resistant and green. Lettuce seedlings are so cold that their leaves are dark purple that they dare not speak, just seeking to save their lives. Who is greener than fist-sized lettuce curled up and ink dishes? Green spinach and coriander attract them with blue-eyed green. The potherb mustard and wormwood absorb enough nutrients to make their hair fluffy like lion heads, and their strength and green wildness reach the perfection. "Lingbing rings, radish is long." At this time, the white radish grows thick and long, which is just the right time to start the stew. Of course, the carrot also happens to accompany the seasoning, which is both beautiful and delicious. At this time, the Chinese cabbages are the most eye-catching. Some of them have wrapped themselves up to resist the cold. One of them weighs five or six pounds, waiting for their owners to take them home for the New Year every day! Cabbage owners who don't have rolled cores leave them to eat cauliflower next spring! Winter is the season of accumulating strength. I picked up the dung bucket when I was tired of tongue farming or reading, and when I heard the shoulder pole singing all the way, my spirit was steep and my fatigue disappeared. It would be more fun to compete with two or three vegetable garden lovers for picking dung. You come and I go to see who scoops up manure, who picks up more manure, and who waters the vegetables evenly. When the dung bucket was put down, it was green and smelly all over the garden. Sweating, let the eyes quietly touch those green and tender baby Vivi, and the joy and enrichment in my heart drove away the previous frustration and melancholy. At this moment, I suddenly understand how influential the word "home" is to 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 or she is, it is always difficult for an impetuous mind to be stable and calm.
I love my vegetable garden. I go to the garden almost every day to have a look. Watching seedlings change clothes and take root, watching birds peck and play, watching labor weeding and watering dung, watching women carrying baskets and picking 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, and we are together. The babies in the garden are like my students. Because of my cultivation, they grow healthily and vigorously, 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 Garden, I finally found the source of happiness, understood the language of nature, tasted the taste of happiness and pursued my spiritual home. "Kwai in the green garden, the morning dew is waiting for the sun. In the spring, everything is brilliant ... "The children's reading makes 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 between me and this vegetable garden can last?
