Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Meet the man who isn’t running to the supermarket to stock goods—thanks to his tiny urban garden which has kept him in fruits and vegetables for nine months.This green-thumbed Italian who moved to London six years ago has grown so many vegetables during lockdown that he hasn’t been to the grocery store for any in nine months.

29-year-old artist Alessandro Vitale has grown chilli(辣椒) on his windowsill for years,so he was delighted when he moved into an apartment with a shared garden last year.He set to work transforming half the 8×5m garden area into a growing place,created a wall for vegetables out of recycled water bottles,and made planters and a greenhouse.

In his first harvest this year,Alessandro managed to produce an impressive 30 different kinds of vegetables,including cabbage,carrots,garlic,fennel,leeks,cauliflower,and broccoli.Alessandro got in an impressive 35kg of tomatoes from just six plants,and he’s picked 10kg of 17 different types of chilli.Eager to be environmental,Alessandro’s crops are 100% organic: He uses wild nettle(荨麻) from a park for pest control,and the fallen leaves to make fertilizer.

Alessandro said:“When I was a kid I used to help my grandpa out in the garden.I remember he would import chilli seeds from all over the world and he would have tones of plants.”

Though Alessandro works full-time 45 hours a week,as soon as he’s home he spends a couple of hours tending to the garden.“My favorite thing to make with is jam and sauces from the chillis,” he says.He now runs his own YouTube channel SpicyMoustache,sharing urban gardening tips and encouraging others to create urban green spaces.
