E(2024苏州工业园区一模)
Do you love gardening, but you don't have a
yard? If that's the case, consider container
gardening(容器园艺). You can grow plants in pots
and containers rather than in the ground. It is a
great way to grow flowers, vegetables, fruit trees
and more. 20
To begin with, you don't need much space.
21 In fact, a sunny indoor kitchen windowsill
(窗台)is perfect for a few small plants.
Unless they're too big or heavy, containers are
portable(便携式的). This allows you to move your
plants inside if necessary. Or you can move your
plants into the shade on hot days. 22
With containers, you're almost certain to fill
them with rich soil. Here's an important tip. 23
Therefore, it's best to place them where you want
before filling them.
Almost anything can be used as a container,
such as wooden boxes and old boots. 24 Just be
sure you have holes in the bottom of your containers
for proper drainage(排水).
A nice container garden will show off your
gardening skills and your creativity.
