The hearts of plants and trees are actually different: morning glory is the most sensitive to light, blooms quickly every morning, and only bursts out sapphire blue fireworks at the moment the morning glow crosses the wall, which is equivalent to the cock crowing of plants, or the color morning exercises.Osmanthus fragrans is the most disciplined of the team. If there are golden or silver-white flower grains, the whole tree has them; No one is allowed to advance or retreat without authorization. In comparison, only roses are the most pampered.They enjoy the most fertile soil, the brightest sun-receiving area, the most frequent and enthusiastic spraying and killing insects, but they still like to grow or not, tired, cynical, and lazy.If you insist on growing, a long branch will pop out suddenly, hang a single flower or two on it, and you will be sent away.

Yangzhuanvine is naturally the most wicked.The sudden death of a tree or a shrub is often the evil result of this kind of weeds and vines.Its leaves are slightly closer to potato leaves and look thick.Such is its hypocrisy.It first climbs on other plants, then parasitizes them, and then strangles them. It has all the means of a snob.The wandering vines it releases are blue-colored flying snakes that are calm and unmoved, probing their brains, waiting for an opportunity to move, full of ambitions to rule and dominate the vast fields.Fortunately, it will not become a big weapon in the end, otherwise it may pounce on pedestrians as a large and fat prey.

My hatchet has to fight this snake several times a year to protect my phone lines from being hijacked and crushed by it. Who says a tree isn't smiling when it's in bloom—even a grown-up girl's, sensual and erotic, in the flickering of the sun?When a red leaf falls to the ground, who said that it is not a mournful hemoptysis?When the melon leaves turn yellow or even black, don't you hear them coughing or moaning?Some small yellow or purple wildflowers suddenly bloomed all over the courtyard wall, like some noisy visitors, presumptuously overwhelming the guests.In the next year or two, they suddenly disappeared and went to nowhere, leaving the whole garden silent.I can only take this as an annoyed departure and renunciation of the guests--but I don't know how I have offended them.

Let's talk about some orange trees we planted at the same time.The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. I dug holes, pruned them, and fertilized them in the same way, but the three trees on the side of the road grew very fast, and they were about to bloom and bear fruit.There is another one, whose frame is not yet fully grown, and it is also married and raised early, and it is about to embrace the pearl and embrace the jade.But the other few plants are listless, and they are still dwarfs and dumbfounded, and even the leaves are curling up one by one.A peasant woman once said to me: Do you want to talk to them more?In particular, you can't tell the difference between relatives and relatives. Do you want a bowl of water to be flat? If you don't look good at them, they will live even less energetically.

The peasant woman also warned that you must not point fingers at the fruit buds, or they will die (my wife has since often scolded me loudly to prevent me from violating the rules when patrolling my home, and being too rude to melons and fruits ).When I found out that the plants were pregnant, I couldn’t tell them. I could only tell people in a low voice from a distance, otherwise they would die of anger (from then on, my wife asked me to strictly keep the privacy of the vegetable garden. Farming such as "pollination" and "fruit bearing" are sneaky). I am dubious about these suggestions: How many plants have such thoughts and such eyes and ears?

It was only later that I learned that the vegetation in the mountains seemed to have super detection capabilities.It is said that when the rapeseed is setting seeds, the owner must not praise the lard and tea oil lightly, otherwise the rapeseed will be so angry that the empty shell rate will increase greatly.When the bamboo shoots are emerging, the owner must not lightly talk about bamboo crafts such as weaving mats with broken bamboo strips, otherwise the bamboo shoots will freeze to death if they are afraid, and even if the soil has emerged, they will black-heartedly rot.At critical moments, everyone has to keep their mouths in check.
