英女王皇宮忙種菜(圖)

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.

據《每日郵報》報道，自二戰以來，英女王伊麗莎白二世首次在白金漢宮種起了水果蔬菜(見圖)。菜園子里洋蔥、韭菜、豆子、番茄、萵苣和土豆應有盡有，第一批草莓已進入白金漢宮廚房。這些蔬果不僅會分給白金漢宮數百工作人員嘗鮮，還將擺上正式國宴的餐桌。
