Taking care of our plants in the Fort is one of our favorite things to do
照料沃斯堡里的植物是我们最爱做的一件事，
And the best part is sometimes we get to eat what we grow
最棒的一点就是我们有时会吃自己种的植物。
We grow lots of plants including vegetables like lettuce and carrot and fruit like blueberries and tomatoes.
我们种的植物包括生菜和胡萝卜之类的蔬菜以及像蓝莓和番茄这样的水果。
Yeah, you heard me right.
是的,你没听错
According to scientists to study plants called botantists both blueberries and tomatoes are actually kinds of fruit
根据植物学家们即研究植物的科学家表明,实际上蓝莓和番茄都是水果
even though a lot of people call tomatoes vegetables
但许多人把番茄当成了蔬菜。
But how do we know the difference between fruits and vegetables?
那么我们该如何区分水果和蔬菜呢？
It can be tricky but if we learn a little bit about how plants grow, we can make a pretty good guess.
这可能有点儿麻烦，但如果我们了解一些植物生长的知识，就可以做出一个合理的猜测了。
So let's start with all plants start seeds.
那我们就从植物还是种子的时候开始说起吧。
When a young new plant begins to grow from a seed,
一粒种子要想长成一株鲜嫩的植物，
it pushes its roots deep into the soil and stretche it's stems and leaves upward to the sun
它需要将根牢牢扎进土壤里,并且向着太阳尽力伸展茎叶。
sometimes the roots, stems, leaves and flower buds of a plant are edible which means we can eat them safely.
有时植物的根茎叶以及花蕾都是可食用的,也就是说我们可以放心食用。
and we call all of these edible plants part including unopened flowers,roots, stems and leaves vegetable.
因此我们把这些可食用的植物部分包括未开放的花苞，根，茎和叶统称为蔬菜。
Check out this popular favorite, the carrot.
看看这个最受欢迎的胡萝卜。
If you look at a carrot as it's growing, you can see its leaves and stem grow above the soil
如果你看一株正在生长的胡萝卜,你会看到它的茎叶全部长在土壤表面，
the part that we usually eat grows down in the ground.
而我们通常食用的那部分是长在地下的。
That's right! The carrot is a root and since it's a root that we can eat, it's a vegetable.
没错,胡萝卜就是根。因为我们可以食用它，所以它是蔬菜。
All right, now what about fruit?
那好，水果又是怎样的呢？
The fact is every fruit starts with a pretty blooming flower。
事实上，所有水果都始于一朵盛开的美丽花朵。
Flowers is not only look and smell nice, they also do something really important for the plants that make them.
这些花不仅美丽芬芳, 而且它们对植物的生长繁殖来说也相当重要。
They help plants reproduce.
它们帮助植物繁衍后代，
When the living thing reproduces, it makes more of itself.
生物繁殖的时候就会创造出更多的自己。
And plants that make flowers reproduce by making seeds
同样，植物通过产种使花朵不断繁殖。
In flowering plants, a seed start from a special part of flowers, which begins to swell as the seed gets bigger
开花植物的种子是从花朵的一个特殊部位开始的,这个特殊部位随着种子变大而膨胀。
A lots of time, this part of the plant keeps growing around the seed to protect it, eventually the flower falls off.
大多数时候,植物的这部分会围着种子不断生长来保护它，直至花枯萎了。
And the small and part of the plant that's left behind becomes what you and I know as a fruit.
留下的那一小部分就成为你我所知的果实了。
so if it's an edible plant part like a root,stem, leaves or an open flower, but it's a vegetable.
所以，如果它是可食用的植物部位,如根、茎、叶或是绽开的花朵，那么它就是蔬菜。
If it's part of a flower and plant that has a seed in it, it's a fruit.
如果它是花和植物的一部分,且其中有种子,那它就是水果。
So do you think you can guess whether what we growing in the greenhouse is fruit or a vegetable, let's go for it!
那么,你觉得你能猜出我们在温室里种的植物是水果还是蔬菜吗?不妨试试吧!
We start with a delicious plant that's super good for you, spinach.
我们从菠菜这种超级好吃又有益健康的植物开始吧。
What do you think spinach is a fruit or a vegetable?
你觉得菠菜是水果还是蔬菜呢?
A vegetable is right. spinach is a leaf.
它是蔬菜。菠菜是叶片。
If we take a look at the spinach plant we can see that has roots to hold it in the ground and then its leaves are held up by a stem.
如果我们仔细观察下菠菜植株，我们会发现其根在地下支撑着它，而它的茎支撑着叶子。
Good job, how about a cucumber? What do you think fruit or vegetable?
很好,那么黄瓜呢？你认为它是水果还是蔬菜呢？
Right, a fruit. If you look at a cucumber plant, we see it has roots stems and leaves,
没错，它是水果，如果你仔细瞧黄瓜植株,我们会看到它有根、茎和叶。
but those aren't the parts we eat.
但这些都不是我们吃的部分。
Cucumbers also make flowers, it's that special part of a flower that becomes the cucumber fruit
黄瓜也开花,正是花里的这个特殊部分最终变成黄瓜的果实。
If we look inside a cucumber that's been cut, we can see it's little seed.
如果我们切开黄瓜看其内部，我们会看到它的小种子。
Let's try one more, how about green peas? fruit or vegetable?
让我们再试一个，豌豆是水果还是蔬菜？
Believe it or not, peas are a fruit.
信不信由你,豌豆是水果。
Pea plants make flowers and parts of these flowers become the fruit, that we call a pea pod.
豌豆植株会开花，其中一部分花会变成我们称做豌豆荚的果实。
If we eat the peas in the pod, we're actually just eating the pea seeds.
如果我们吃豆荚里的豌豆,我们实际上是在吃它的种子。
Now, sometimes it's hard to tell what something is in the supermarket.
如今，有时候我们很难区分超市里卖的到底是什么
Sometimes we grow fruits that don't have seeds or has seeds that are too small to see
有时我们会种无种子或种子小到难以发现的水果，
it can also be tricky to tell us something a root, stem or leaf.
对我们而言，植物的根茎或叶有时也难以区分。
But it's always fun to see if you can guess what in your shopping car is a fruit and what's the vegetable
但猜猜在你购物车里的是水果还是蔬菜也是件乐事。
Just make sure you eat plenty of both.
只要你保证两样都多吃,准没错。
