Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 101

Because the Pope was injured, the church members had to stay in Fort Sardinson to wait for him to recover, but the people in the territory were as busy as ever.

After the wheat harvest, a batch of oats was planted in a hurry. Now the canals have been repaired in the manor. The river without an official name looks small, but the water volume is very abundant. There is no drying up, the river flows along the canals throughout the manor. With these waterways extending in all directions, everyone no longer needs to go all the way to fetch water, watering the land is also diligent, and time is saved most of the time, which is saved They can also devote their time to other jobs, to serve the Count and earn some living expenses.

The canal was repaired before winter, and I knew it was easy to use this spring. The people who always used the castle as a weather vane naturally built the canal early. At that time, they didn't have the money to ask someone to help repair the canal. They organized manpower to dig soil and build canals during the slack season, and have been building them one after another for half a year. Now in Sardinson, wherever there is a large farmland, you can see winding canals.

It is also because of these canals that there was not much rain in Sardinson this year. After the summer, there was only a heavy rain at the end of the wheat harvest. After that, it was sunny until July. The crops in the fields were not affected at all, and they were still lush and growing.

In July, the weather became more and more hot, and the vegetables in the vegetable field began to be produced on a large scale.

The castle has a vegetable garden. Originally, only one piece was planted for her consumption inside the castle, but after Wei Wei came, she planted a wave of various vegetables in the vegetable garden in the spring of last year. I have to plant it again this year. Except for some valuable crops such as corn and sweet potatoes that cannot be exposed for the time being, most of the vegetables are still planted in the vegetable garden.

As a result, the original one-acre vegetable garden was expanded to ten acres, not only growing various vegetables but also a variety of fruits.

Out of the back door of the castle, at a glance at the vegetable garden surrounded by wooden fences, all kinds of vegetables are lush and tender, green onions and garlic seedlings cover the fields, green peppers, red tomatoes, and peppers are like lanterns hanging on the branches. The green green is gratifying. The cucumber vines that have grown on the other side and the blooming loofah vines next door climb up the wooden frame. The large and small cucumbers hang under the frame, waiting for people to pick them. On the ground, Half-large pumpkins with green skins and winter melons smaller than a fist are looming on the leaves. It is still a while before they are picked, but we can already see the sight of a bumper harvest in the future.

In the other half of the vegetable garden, the fruit trees that were transplanted or planted this year are still just small saplings, and it is still early before they can bloom and bear fruit, but there is also a vague outline of the future orchard. , The strawberries with white flowers, red fruits, and green leaves are very eye-catching, and they are also the favorite of the birds. To keep this batch of newly ripe strawberries, they sent slaves to guard them to drive away the birds. Not much left.

Seeing a strawberry, Wei Wei couldn't help but think of the strawberry potted plant she kept on the balcony when she was still in modern times. It was a very small one, but she liked the result. After stealing it, only a small part of it was left pitifully hanging there, telling his grievances.

This piece of strawberry was transplanted from the castle. After growing up last year, to allow them to multiply more, Wei Wei let these strawberry seedlings grow by themselves. Now they have expanded from nearly 1,000 to more than 10,000. It will continue to double and grow. After all, this plant has a very strong reproductive capacity. If you take care of it, it will continue to give birth to stolons. As long as the bottom of the stolons is buried in the soil, it will automatically take root and grow. If you don't cut it and the mother plant The connected stems maintain the nutrient supply and the new seedlings can even continue to sprout stolons, growing like spider plants and growing more plants.
