Chapter 288 Spinach



Although the height of the tomato plant is not short, it can be protected from lodging by the help of a support, so you can also try vertical planting.

She originally chose tomatoes and spinach. Both of these vegetables can be grown on planting racks, are relatively nutritious, and contain vitamin C.

Now I prefer spinach.

Although there is a greenhouse, how much resources are needed to raise the temperature of the greenhouse to 25 degrees, which is suitable for the growth of tomatoes, at minus 40 degrees Celsius?

You can try tomatoes and strawberries.

She had wanted to do this for a long time, and she often went out to look for plants in the wild because of this, hoping to find crops with cold-resistant genes to cross with existing high-yield crops. But her luck didn't seem to be very good at the moment, and she only collected purple flowers and rye.

It would be impossible to achieve this goal relying solely on the seeds she had now.

That requires a very strong germplasm resource.
