Welcome to the farm! I'm a tomato seed. Here are steps to plant me.
Step 1: Before planting, please wash me first with clean water and then soak (浸泡) me in warm water for 5~7 hours. After that, dry me in the sun for 2 hours, and then soak me in hot water at 45℃~50℃ for 4 hours. Step 2: Plant me in the soil about 10 cm deep, and then water me. The best temperature is between 15℃ and 28℃. Step 3: About two weeks later, a tomato plant will grow out of the soil. Step 4: Please water the tomato plant once a week. After two or three months, I will grow many flowers. Step 5: When the flowers die (枯萎), I will turn green. In 4 or 5 days, I will become red. Then you will have your own tomato. Pick me up and have a taste. |
