Chapter 306 - 306 296 Growing Vegetables

?Chapter 306: Chapter 296: Growing Vegetables Chapter 306: Chapter 296: Growing Vegetables The time was May 1976, a season of warm spring and blooming flowers, when Shen Yunfang took Pangpang, the little one, and Taxue out to transplant the well-nurtured vegetable seedlings to the backyard.

Of course, Shen Yunfang was the one doing the work, while the little Pangpang just lay in the small bed basking in the sun, sleeping, and Taxue’s task was to lay by the little master’s side, always watchful of the little master’s movements.

The backyard was rectangular in shape, and when Li Hongjun prepared the ground, he made ten rows. While transplanting, Shen Yunfang planted a row each of eggplants, persimmons, cucumbers, green beans, hot peppers, and small chili peppers—vegetables that her family commonly ate. Along with the early-planted potatoes that took up two rows, only two rows in the backyard were left unplanted.

After some thought, she planted half a row of cowpeas, half a row of celery, and half a row of chives. With the half-row left, she chose some of the more abundant leftover seedlings, so she planted another half-row of green beans.

She also scattered seeds like lettuce, cilantro, Chinese cabbage, stinky vegetable, and scallions between the rows, letting whatever could grow, grow.

As for the climbing plants like sponge gourds and loofahs, she planted them by the edges of the courtyard, as she had done in Gaijiatun, anticipating that once these plants started to vine, they could simply climb up the fences, saving her the trouble of setting up trellises.

By the edges of the courtyard, she planted ten watermelon seedlings, five bitter gourds, five loofahs, five winter gourds, and the remaining space was filled with sponge gourds.
