26、Saving Seeds for Next Year’s Flower Garden

Just like vegetable seeds (种子), you can save flower seeds from your garden this year to plant in the following year.

If you want the same kind of flower or plant for next year’s garden, collect only the seeds from plants marked as “heritage”. 【1】 Cross seeds with a mixture of two different parents will produce new plants, but they will only look like one of the parents. Therefore, you are taking a risk with planting cross seeds.

Even if you expect plants to be the same as their parents, it is not certain. Wind or insects could bring pollen from one plant to another and accidentally create a mixture. 【2】 But if you like surprises, start experimenting! You could create a lovely new plant or flower!

Just like everything else in gardening, timing is important. Collect seeds on a dry, sunny day. 【3】 When their pods open, these plants could send their seeds up to 6 meters away. Once on the ground, it is difficult to collect them. Instead, tie a small bag for seed collection over the pod when it nearly opens.

For plants like sunflowers, cut the head off the plant and drop it into a paper bag. 【4】 This will save your fingers!

You can place the seeds in a glass box that can be sealed. Then store them in a cool, dry area. Make sure to mark your glass box so you do not forget what they are. 【5】 But you should plant the new seeds the following year for best results.

A．Keep an eye on some flowers.

B．Let the seeds grow and fall naturally.

C．Give the bag a shake to help separate the seeds.

D．When stored with care, seeds are good for several years.

E．These kinds of plants will grow just like their parent plant.

F．In this case, add more seeds to the soil to make sure that some will grow.

G．You can avoid this by planting only the plant from which you plan to collect seeds.

27、   An experience in a national park is exciting. But to make sure of a safe and pleasant trip, you should remember the following rules; Always keep food in safe and sealed containers.

Leaving food in the open is an invitation to animals. It is best to keep food in closed containers in a locked car. Garbage should be treated in the same way. Be careful with the park environment while walking.

To avoid meeting with bears –make your presence known. Make loud noises, shout and sing. Be especially careful in a thick bush or along streams where water makes noises.

Bells are not suggested as the sound does not carry well.

Do not approach wild animals.

Visitors have been attacked by wild animals. They may appear tame but are wild and dangerous. Many animals run faster than you can imagine.

Always put out campfires.

They are dangerous when left unattended and can cause forest fires. Always put the campfires out completely with water before leaving the area.

Be sure to carry plenty of water.

Cool, clear stream water is not as clean as it looks! Drinking untreated water can make you ill. You’d better carry enough drinking water. If you must use water from lakes or streams, boil it for one minute.

Seat belts are required by law.

Always wear your seat belts while driving! Slow down at dawn and drive carefully when it is dark. Watch carefully at all times for people and animals on roadways.

Do not feed the wildlife.

They’ll lose their desire for natural foods and become beggars. They may bite, and/or spread disease.
