Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 314 Planting Flowers

When I woke up again, the sun was not very bright.

"Now that you're awake, I've been waiting for you to mix the flower soil together." Lu Chuan said to Xu Han with a smile while holding Ze'er.

"Then why didn't you wake me up?" Xu Han complained with a confused look on his face.

What a guy. Although I know he is doing this for my own good, he is asking for trouble by not calling me when he knows there is work to do today.

"Don't you see that you are sleeping soundly? Besides, it's not too late now. The temperature outside is just right for planting flowers. Otherwise it will be too hot and we won't be able to do it." Lu Chuan said with a grin.

Xu Han didn't respond to him. After going out to wash her face, she carried Ze'er out of the yard.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly picked up his tools and followed behind.

"I dug some farmland soil from the wasteland next to us. Do you think it's enough? If not, I'll go dig some more." Lu Chuan said with a flattering look on his face.

"This should be enough. Start mixing the soil."

Xu Han directed Lu Chuan to mix the farmland soil, river sand, humus, pine needles, and previously fermented manure together in a certain proportion.

After the soil was mixed, Xu Han went into the house and handed Ze'er to Grandpa Zhao to look after, and then she came out to plant flowers with Lu Chuan.

"Fill the flower beds with the mixed soil first, but don't fill them too full. Put the rest into these large flower pots first."

Xu Han gave instructions while helping to load the soil.

"Have you decided what kind of flowers to plant in these pots?"

“In the flowerbed outside, plant some peonies, spoon flowers, chrysanthemums and the like.

Plant roses, crabapples and the like in the flower pots, which can be easily moved later."

"Okay, you put the flowers in the corresponding positions and I will plant them."

“There are some sunflower and sunflower seeds in the space, and it seems there are some small daisies.

I'll go in and look for it later. I bought a lot of flower seeds at that time. I saw them when I was packing up last time, but I don't know where I put them now."

"You go and look for it first, and we'll plant them together later." Lu Chuan continued.

"Okay, then you plant it first. I'll go look for it."

Xu Han rummaged around in the space for a long time before finally finding the flower seeds that she had put away earlier.

After counting them, there are actually quite a lot of them. These can be planted a lot more.

After each type of flower was assigned, the two began to plant flowers.

The method of sowing seeds for these flowers is the same as that of sowing vegetables.

Just sprinkle the seeds directly into the soil, then cover them with a thin layer of soil, water them thoroughly and leave them alone.

After Xu Han planted the flowers in the flower bed, she sprinkled a layer of sunflower seeds underneath.

I hope all these sunflowers can grow, and then I can plant some of them in other places.

There were also some wild flower seeds that Xu Han planted under the wall outside the yard.

These flower seeds were bought online. Xu Han doesn’t know whether they are the correct ones or not. She can only wait and see after they grow.

The two of them were busy until it was getting dark, and they finally finished planting all the flowers that Yunhua brought back.

Some of these flowers are placed in the yard, while others are planted outside the yard and in the flower beds.

Xu Han also grew some sunflower seedlings in pots. When they grew up, she would transplant them and plant them outside the yard in a row. They would look beautiful when they bloom.

Finally, I trimmed some of the roses in the space and transplanted them all into a pot to see if they could take root and survive.

If the cuttings really survive, there will be lots and lots of roses.

Some of these roses are climbing roses, and some are not. Xu Han paid special attention to propagating a lot of climbing roses by cuttings.

After these seedlings grow up, they are all planted outside the courtyard wall or inside the courtyard wall.

After a long period of accumulation, climbing roses will grow into large patches, and they will be super beautiful when they bloom together.

Xu Han is very happy just thinking about it now. Not only will she be able to enjoy the flowers, but she will also be able to arrange flowers freely.

There are so many flowers in the yard, and I can cut some beautiful bouquets and put them in the vase every season.

At that time, you can enjoy the flowers not only in the yard, but also in the house.

It’s so happy to be able to smell the fragrance of flowers when you go out.

"Finally the planting is finished. Growing this kind of flower is really a tiring job." Lu Chuan said while patting his aching waist.

"Growing flowers and vegetables is a real pleasure, and when the harvest comes, you will feel a great sense of accomplishment."

Xu Han actually enjoyed this process. Although it was tiring, she was also very happy.

"Yes, yes, my wife is right."

"Suddenly I thought of a problem. This year our family has planted so much land, as well as flowers and vegetables, all of which need manure, but we don't seem to have enough manure at home." Xu Han frowned when he thought of this.

"It's really not enough. There's only corn and a few dogs' feces in the house, plus the swill at home. Add it all together and there's really not much left.

When it rained last year, a lot of manure was washed away, and now there is even less left.”

“This is also a big problem and we must find a way to solve it.”

"What can we do? There are no large animals in the mountains now, and even small animals are rare. Even if we want to pick up their feces, we can't."

"This method will definitely not work. Don't worry, let me think about it."

In fact, Xu Han already had an idea in her mind, but she still had to try it to know if it would work. After all, she had never done it before and only heard about it from others in her previous life.

Lu Chuan had no hope at all. No matter how much he thought about it, it was impossible for his wife to produce so much manure in a short period of time for no reason. It was simply impossible.

So Lu Chuan didn't care about what Xu Han said. He turned around to pack up his tools and went into the yard.

After Xu Han returned home, she went straight into the house and didn't come out.

Grandpa Zhao and Lu Chuan prepared today's dinner. Xu Han was writing and drawing in the room because of the fertilizer issue.

Lu Chuan didn't understand what Xu Han was doing, so he just ignored it.

Xu Han locked himself in the room, carefully recalling how others fermented fertilizer in modern times.

When I was watching short videos in my previous life, I saw many bloggers making their own fertilizer and compost, but they themselves didn’t have the things they used.

And even if there is, it is very expensive in this era.

For example, brown sugar. Putting brown sugar in a compost bucket can promote fungal fermentation, but brown sugar is very expensive in this era.
