Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Zhao Yeqing looked forward, "No, look at the palm trees growing halfway up the mountain. They are now almost as high as my eyesight. They have grown like crazy in the past two years. The road we originally walked down the mountain, Take a look, there are no traces at all."

Just as he was talking, Zhao Yeqing's sharp eyes saw a somewhat familiar plant in the grass at his feet.

After tapping the grass in front of me with a stick to make sure there were no snakes, I slowly walked down the mountain among the waist-high ferns.

Squatting in front of the plant, he raised his hand and rubbed his chin, looking puzzled: "Mu Xi, do you think this thing looks like a pineapple tree?"

Zhao Yeqing looked more and more like it. She was quite impressed with this kind of tree. She had seen reports in the news that the roadside green belts in Qiong Province were full of pineapple trees, and she was very envious at that time.

When you can't sleep at night, a certain thought that appears in your mind will suddenly burst out with a strong desire for knowledge. For example, at three o'clock in the morning, you suddenly wonder whether Ultraman is the father of Ultra and the mother of Ultra. Will there be an Ultra sister? So I opened Baidu.

I met this pineapple tree at that time, and I was very impressed by it.

But where do the pineapple trees come from in a place like theirs?

Even if the climate changes, seeds will not appear out of thin air.

Mu Xi's tone was very certain: "It doesn't look like it, that is." After saying that, he raised his chin to the side, "Then look at that one over there, does it look like a dragon fruit?"

Zhao Yeqing is numb. Is there a bug in this huge game program?

Mu Xi knocked her on the head: "What are you thinking about? What kind of thing carries seeds? I don't remember?"

Zhao Yeqing's lost IQ just now found his way home. He clapped his hands and said suddenly: "Yes, elephant!"

What elephants like most is all kinds of fruits. In addition, their migration routes can be very long. They will not spit out the cores of the fruits after eating them. They keep them all in their stomachs until they are brought here.

Zhao Yeqing walked to the dragon fruit plant. It had not yet produced any fruit. It looked like a cactus, but when you touched it, you knew it was not. The edges of the jagged plant looked full of white thorns, but when you touched it, it looked like a cactus. is soft.

Somewhat like the feeling of stroking the hair with your fingers when there are only two inches left at the end.

"Generally, the fastest time from dragon fruit germination to maturity and fruiting is about a year. Based on the time it takes for the elephants to appear in the meadow, we can harvest a batch of fruits this year if nothing unexpected happens."

Mu Xi used the quantifier 'patch'. Zhao Yeqing stood up and took a closer look at the haystack. There were many dragon fruit stems and leaves hidden in the tall grass.

Also, there are so many small black seeds in a dragon fruit. If someone can manage it carefully, it is estimated that one dragon fruit can be enough to grow a large area.

"Why are you guarding this place? You can't come here often. It's too dangerous. Why don't you dig some up and take them back?"

Generally, plants will not bear fruit in the first year after transplanting. It takes time to adapt. The root system will inevitably be damaged, and there will be a repair process. But it is better than not being able to keep a single plant in the event of an accident.

Mu Xi nodded, squatted down and listened to her instructions. He dug back all the dragon fruit plants she pointed at. The remaining Zhao Yeqing did not give up completely. He collected some branches and dug up the messy dragon fruit stems. Ye was supported.

This prevents the plant from being too short to receive sunlight. This tropical fruit likes light best. It also prevents the fruit from growing close to the ground during flowering and fruiting, which is prone to rot and insect infestation.

There is nothing we can do about the wood pineapple tree. We only see one of these trees so far. It will take more than six years for it to grow into fruit. Let’s talk about it later.

The purpose of coming out this time was not fully achieved. I originally wanted to know why the wild boar attacked my home, but every guess was rejected, but it was still rewarding. I killed a wild boar and got a few dragon fruit plants. Yes. I also have some understanding of the situation here.

You can't stay in the woods at night. Even if the sky is just a little dark, it's best not to be in the woods. The pace of going home becomes faster. When you leave the woods, there is only the last trace of the sun left, which is reddish orange and shines brightly. The grass looked warm.

The dragon fruit was placed in the original small garden, and Zhao Yeqing pulled out the marigolds that were growing well and planted them on the wall outside the yard.

He said confidently: "Dragon fruit can bloom more than a dozen times a year, and the fruit can be eaten. There is no more cost-effective ornamental plant than it."

The flowers of pitaya are also called overlord flowers. They are very beautiful and look somewhat similar to epiphyllums. Epiphyllums only appear once, while pitaya flowers bloom continuously for half a year.

(Pictures here)

Pitaya and epiphyllum, which one do you like more?

When the flowers fade, you can still enjoy the fruits of the season. Before they are fully mature, it is even more gratifying to see the abundant fruits on the branches.

It is more suitable for the transplanted marigold to be planted outside the yard. It can slowly reproduce until the number increases. In addition, its "floral fragrance" is quite special, and almost no animals come back to eat it, making it difficult to manage. Peace of mind.

The reason why I didn't plant it on the outside wall before was because I was afraid that snakes would 'step' on it and crawl into the yard. But now that I have raised wild geese, they will grow up in more than a month, and then I won't have to worry about snakes anymore. will come in.

During dinner in the evening, both of them seemed a little distracted. They couldn't find the reason why the wild boar came, and they always felt uneasy.

Zhao Yeqing even muttered: "Could it be that I ate the wrong thing? Like poisonous mushrooms in the woods?"

Mu Xi was not sure, but it was not impossible. After finishing the rice in the bowl, he also put away Zhao Yeqing's dishes and chopsticks. The detergent used to wash the dishes was soapberry solution. When it comes to dishes and chopsticks that are relatively oily, When the time comes, add a little plant ash inside.

As soon as the plant ash enters the bowl, the white porcelain is instantly wetted and becomes dark gray, making the plant ash look a little dirtier. You can press the plant ash with your hands and rub it a few times, then rinse it with water. The original greasy stain will instantly disappear. Washed clean.

After washing the dishes, he came over and sat down. Zhao Yeqing had already wiped the table clean, and there was a glass of iced honey water on the table.

The cold drink went into his throat. The heat that had risen in his body after eating just now was suppressed by the cold air. He felt instantly refreshed. Mu Xi thought about it and said, "Maybe I ate the wrong thing, or maybe I ate the wrong thing." It’s a matter of panic and no choice.”

Zhao Yeqing blinked: "How do you say that?"
