Gardening By Charlie Morgan 李薇 译注 In Canada, many people like to plant a garden. Some plant flowers, some vegetables, and others like both. But, gardens are lots of work. So, people go to a garden centre to buy bedding plants[1]. You can get many flowers already started, so theyll grow fast. You can also get small tomato plants. Do you have a garden? Do you want one? Can you help to take care of it? Or, will you only help to eat from it? A: What are you going to do tomorrow? Are you free? B: Sorry, Ill be busy. Its time to plant my garden. A: Lucky you. I dont have a garden. I live in a building. Whatll you plant? B: I usually plant some vegetables and some flowers. A: Which vegetables are you going to plant? B: Im going to have a row of carrots and a row of lettuce[2]. I already have the seeds. Theyre easy to grow. And, I always plant some tomatoes. A: Tomatoes fresh from the garden are delicious[3]. What else will you plant? B: Last year, we had a cucumber[4] patch. They were good, but they sprawled everywhere. So, Im not going to plant any this year. A: I see. Will you plant any peas[5] or peppers? Theyre my favorites[6]. B: No, peas are extra work, they need stakes. And, my peppers always die. |
