英女王皇宫忙种菜(图)

Queen Elizabeth II is growing fruit and vegetables in the grounds of Buckingham Palace (see photo) for the first time since the World War II, the Daily Mail reported. Onions, leeks, beans, tomatoes, lettuce and potatoes have been planted and the first strawberries have already hit the Royal kitchens. The Queen's produce will feed several hundred palace workers and be served up at formal State banquets.

据《每日邮报》报道，自二战以来，英女王伊丽莎白二世首次在白金汉宫种起了水果蔬菜(见图)。菜园子里洋葱、韭菜、豆子、番茄、莴苣和土豆应有尽有，第一批草莓已进入白金汉宫厨房。这些蔬果不仅会分给白金汉宫数百工作人员尝鲜，还将摆上正式国宴的餐桌。
