有好长一段时间没有播新的种子了，今天选了十位佳丽
I have picked 10 beauties today after I have had a long time never sowing new seeds

又干又松的新土
The new and unused soil



没种过花的新朋友，要播种之前要先把泥土浇湿。细小的种子就直接撒在有湿气的泥土上，比较大颗的种子象向日葵那样的就要用泥土盖１cm厚哦
To my new starter gardening friends, you need to water the new soil until it's damp before you sow the seeds. For tiny seeds, you can sow them directly on the damp soil. For bigger seeds like sunflower seeds, you need to cover it for 1cm deep.



为了保持发芽有足够的水汽，花盆下面我让它积水。要小心哦，一旦发芽了就要把积水清除，必须保持排水通畅，不然是会烂根的。
To keep the soil wet and damp, I place some water beneath the pot. Please bear in mind that, you need to remove this water as soon as your seeds have germinated. You need to maintain a good drainage soil so that the seedlings will grow healthy.




好了，这就是我今天播的十盆种子啦
OK, these are 10 pots of seeds sowed today
