The next day, it was neither sunny nor rainy.
It is cloudy.
Yesterday, Xu Qingzhi tore the sun grass and got two results, but he didn't guess either one right.
But that didn't stop her from seeing the sungrass. She picked up a handful and tore another one with great interest, tearing it into a perfect square.
I enjoy defining it over and over again.
"Well, it will be sunny tomorrow."
A corner of the Meicheng Daily reported that a rare bird of prey appeared in the county for the first time yesterday. However, because the photo was blurry and it was a small local daily, it only criticized the phenomenon as a possible result of the destruction of the raptor's habitat due to increasingly frequent human activities, and it did not cause much stir.
After breakfast, Xu Qingzhi went to the strawberry shed on the back mountain.
In addition to the edible strawberries here, she also set aside a separate area to cultivate varieties.
She also wanted to try whether she could grow strawberries that were resistant to pests, had a richer taste, and were more stable in this spiritual and nourishing environment.
In the past, many excellent strawberry varieties were developed in island countries, and these varieties were introduced into China for cultivation.
However, after research by many strawberry lovers, there are now many excellent varieties in China. For example, the Xuanyu planted by Xu Qingzhi this time, even if it was a bare-root seedling, its growth performance when planted in the spiritual space is very eye-catching, better than other strawberry seedlings, and the fruit tastes sweet.
Strawberry breeding is actually not complicated.
Strawberry is a rare fruit with exposed seeds. If you look closely, those tiny spots on the strawberry are actually the seeds.
The strawberry flower has the pistil on the fruit, and the stamens surround the pistil. When the sun is shining, the stamens burst out yellow pollen. At this time, the bees carry the pollen on the pistil when collecting nectar. After successful pollination, the white petals fall off.
Breeding involves pollination using pistils and stamens of different varieties.
The white strawberry that smelled like "stinky feet" was one of the varieties she cultivated, and she quickly eliminated it.
As for strawberry breeding itself, Xu Qingzhi was just giving it a try and was not very serious about it.
Look, I had used small signs to carefully record which two varieties were used to pollinate the fruits, but I actually missed several plants.
The strawberries on one of the plants looked particularly special.
The fruit was very large, so it immediately attracted Xu Qingzhi's attention.
When placed in the hand, it is as big as the palm of your hand, which is about the size of three ordinary strawberries.
Moreover, the fruit is heart-shaped and slightly oval in shape, with a dark and bright color. The dark red color is brighter than other red and black varieties such as Zhenhong Meiling and Black Pearl.
Moreover, one strawberry seedling produced seven or eight fruits of this size.
This is... the strawberry seedling that came to repay the favor.
However, Xu Qingzhi didn't know how this was grown. But the facts clearly told her that this variety should be an unprecedented strawberry variety.
Xu Qingzhi was a little happy, but when he thought of the strawberry that smelled like "stinky feet" before, he forced himself to calm down.
You have to try it first to see how it tastes. After all, if you eat a strawberry that tastes like stinky feet, it will be useless no matter how big it grows!
She picked up a strawberry, pinched the strawberry vine with her fingertips, and with just an inch of force, the strawberry fruit was picked off. As long as you master the strength and technique, you won't hurt the strawberry seedlings.
I stuffed it directly into my mouth and took a big bite, but I only ate less than one-third of it.
The rich and abundant strawberry juice explodes in your mouth, and the unique strawberry aroma fills the air. The taste of this strawberry is richer than any strawberry you have tasted before.
“These strawberries are so delicious.”
She continued to eat the strawberry in one hand, while picking several other ripe strawberries and throwing them into the spiritual space.
The next step in variety breeding is seedling cultivation!
