Hey Sarah, your roses are looking absolutely glorious this year! What’s your secret for such abundant blooms?
嘿,莎拉,你今年的玫瑰开得真是灿烂!开这么多花有什么秘诀吗?
2
gardener_B (Female)
Thanks, Mark! I've really focused on my pruning technique this spring. I try to do a hard prune right after the first flush of flowers to encourage new growth and more blooms. And I'm pretty diligent about deadheading, of course.
谢谢你,马克!今年春天我确实很注重修剪技巧。我尝试在第一批花开败后立即进行一次重修剪,以促进新生长和更多花朵。当然,我也很勤快地摘除残花。

gardener_A (Male)
That's interesting. I tend to be a bit hesitant with hard pruning, always worried I'll cut off next year's blooms. Do you have any tips on identifying the right spots to cut?
这很有趣。我倒是对重修剪有点犹豫,总是担心会剪掉明年的花。你有什么技巧可以告诉我如何找到正确的修剪点吗?
4
gardener_B (Female)
Absolutely. For roses, I always look for an outward-facing bud eye, about a quarter-inch above it. That way, the new growth goes outwards, keeping the center of the plant open for air circulation. It really helps prevent fungal issues.
当然。对于玫瑰,我总是在向外生长的芽眼上方约四分之一英寸处修剪。这样,新的生长会向外,保持植株中心开放以利空气流通。这确实有助于预防真菌问题。

gardener_A (Male)
That makes so much sense! I've had some powdery mildew problems in the past, so better air circulation sounds like a game-changer. Speaking of pests, how do you handle aphids? They're always a nuisance for me.
那太有道理了!我过去有过一些白粉病问题,所以更好的空气流通听起来会很有帮助。说到害虫,你如何处理蚜虫?它们对我来说一直是个烦恼。
6
gardener_B (Female)
Aphids are definitely annoying. What I do is a simple soapy water spray – just a few drops of dish soap in a spray bottle with water. I spray them in the evening. Ladybugs are also your best friend for natural pest control!
蚜虫确实很烦人。我用的是简单的肥皂水喷雾——只需几滴洗碗皂加入装有水的喷雾瓶中。我会在晚上喷洒。瓢虫也是你进行自然病虫害防治的最佳伙伴!
7
gardener_A (Male)
Hmm, I’ve tried the soapy water a few times but maybe not consistently enough. I'll definitely give it another go with more regularity. And the ladybug idea is brilliant!
嗯,我试过几次肥皂水,但可能不太持续。我一定会再试试,更规律地使用。瓢虫的主意太棒了!
8
gardener_B (Female)
They really are! And for ongoing plant health, have you ever considered composting? It makes such a difference to soil quality.
它们确实很棒!为了持续的植物健康,你有没有考虑过堆肥?它对土壤质量有很大的影响。
9
gardener_A (Male)
I’ve thought about it, but the whole process seems a bit daunting. Where do you even start with composting?
我考虑过,但整个过程似乎有点令人生畏。堆肥从何开始呢?
10
gardener_B (Female)
It’s easier than you think! I started with a simple compost bin and just layered 'greens' like kitchen scraps and 'browns' like dry leaves. Keep it moist and turn it every so often. Your plants will thank you!
比你想象的要容易!我从一个简单的堆肥桶开始,就把厨房垃圾等“绿色”材料和干树叶等“棕色”材料分层堆放。保持湿润并时不时翻动。你的植物会感谢你的!
11
gardener_A (Male)
That sounds manageable. Thanks for all the fantastic tips, Sarah! I’m excited to try these out in my own garden.
听起来可行。谢谢你所有的好建议,莎拉!我很高兴能把它们用在我的花园里。

gardener_B (Female)
Anytime, Mark! Happy gardening!
不客气,马克!园艺愉快!
