Today's Work
Weeding of the sweet corn field following the "pumpkin planting" on Tuesday, May 30. Digging up and clearing chrysanthemum in the soil and planting sweet corn seedlings.
The field where sweet corn was sown in May was infested with chrysanthemum roots with powerful vitality, which inhibited the growth of sweet corn and made germination impossible, so the soil had to be dug up and plowed over again. With reliable mother power, one after another, they dug up the soil, removed the weeds, and removed the chrysanthemum roots.
The work is to plant sweet corn seedlings in paper pots in the further cleared field. The efficiency of everyone's work, the graceful continuation of the work, and the superb handwork were a sight to behold!
The work began at 8:00 a.m. and continued silently for four hours until 12:00 p.m., with breaks in between.
