Gu Qingming planted the navel orange seedlings she had brought back from the mountain into the space.
The navel orange was an autumn and winter fruit.
It was usually planted in early February and late March, usually after germination and before the shoots; those intended for autumn and winter harvest might be planted in September and October, but special attention should be paid to moisturization.
It would bloom in March every year.
In April, small navel oranges would begin to grow.
From April to October, the second half of the year was the growth period of the navel oranges. During this period, the fruit would slowly grow day by day, precipitating the sugar and accumulating nutrition.
In September and October, it would begin to turn yellow and mature.
By the end of October, most of the fruits would have ripened.
