But his father doesn't intend to return it to him?

These things were previously known only to her and a few close relatives.

Now, there are a few more people.

The other two educated youth at the educated youth settlement.

There was also the captain and the criminal investigation team of the police station.

This made her feel somewhat ashamed.

However, Han Xue's shout also piqued Yang Shengnan's curiosity: "Weren't these seedlings only planted a few days ago? How come they've already sprouted?"

That's way too fast!

However, she had never farmed before and didn't know any of this.

Gu Yunyang had just returned and immediately smiled, "It seems that they have indeed sprouted. It looks like we'll be able to eat the vegetables we grew ourselves in a few days."

Everything else is still early; even cucumbers need a trellis for their vines to climb, so it's not this early.

But the bok choy is edible.

Generally, bok choy can be harvested in about 20 days, which is relatively fast.

In addition, bok choy is not demanding in terms of temperature and is quite cold-resistant, so it can be planted even in autumn and winter.

Gu Yunyang thought the bok choy was quite tender and had a slightly sweet taste, so he quite liked it.

It should be ready to eat in about two weeks.

He has to control the length; it can't be shortened too much.

"But we should also consider making our own fertilizer."

This isn't actually difficult; he just remembered several different ratios.

First, there's rice water and orange peel, which are provided to acid-loving plants such as roses, gardenias, and azaleas.

Additionally, banana peels and eggshells are also suitable for this purpose.

Banana peels and eggshells provide essential phosphorus and potassium for flowering. After preparation, place them in the sun to ferment. In hot weather, it will take about half a month to a month, and in winter it will take longer.

Other readily available sources include kitchen waste and dried materials.

Kitchen waste includes things like peels, vegetable leaves, and coffee grounds. There are no coffee grounds here, but the first two are present.

Dry waste such as sawdust and straw should be mixed in a 1:1 ratio and placed in a large bucket or compost bin. Stir the mixture periodically to promote fermentation. Fermentation typically takes 3-4 months, and the mixture is ready for use when it turns into a dark brown, loose, moist, soil-like substance.

In fact, Gu Yunyang has been storing this last type of fertilizer every day.

Kitchen waste is relatively easy to collect; the three of them generate some every day.

In addition, Gu Yunyang discovered that some camellia trees were also planted nearby.

In the future, the tea seed cake left after pressing oil from camellia seeds can also be used as fertilizer.

Moreover, Old Zheng's place also provides a lot of vegetable leaves every day, which Gu Yunyang has collected.

He is preparing to raise earthworms.

Go and start steaming the rice.

Gu Yunyang found a hoe, turned over the soil in the yard, and found some earthworms, which he then collected.

"Hey, what are you doing with all this stuff?"

"How disgusting."

Girls probably all dislike long, sticky things.

For example, snakes are something I'm even more afraid of.

Some people are even extremely afraid of loaches and eels.

Gu Yunyang laughed: "I asked the brigade leader before. We educated youth can also have our own plots of land and raise chickens and ducks."

I plan to find the homestead in the next couple of days and then clear out my private plot.

I'm also planning to raise a few chickens and ducks, but ducks are too much trouble.

I'll raise two chickens. Also, the piglets are a bit late, but I plan to bring two back too.

Earthworms are great for raising chickens. Chicks fed earthworms grow quickly and can be ready for market in about three months.

Later generations of specially bred broiler chickens can be ready for market in about 45 days.

It's a bit slower here; they can start laying eggs in about three months and are ready to be sold.

Of course, people nowadays certainly wouldn't be willing to sell or eat it as soon as it reaches the required weight.

Like a chicken's butt bank, you have to save up eggs.

"Just these few earthworms? Are you kidding me?" Han Xue clearly didn't believe it, and Yang Shengnan also looked over with suspicion.
