There's an old saying: radishes in the first part of summer, vegetables in the second.
This year, due to the unusually high temperatures, the sowing missed its seasonal timing. Now that the start of autumn has passed, and the base fertilizer has been incorporated into the soil, Professor Song arranged for irrigation and sowing without delay.
Irrigation turned out to be much simpler than Song Tan had anticipated.
Several well eyes that had been drilled were expanded on the surrounding area under the management of Old Xu and others, forming water storage pools.
Montane drainage, under the design of Professor Song and others, meandered in a reasonable manner.
Threads of water trickled down, layer by layer moisturizing the soil. Eventually, the dry, sun-baked yellow earth slowly turned brown, and the atmosphere of the entire mountain range became damp.
It was like the earthy smell after a summer downpour.
