今年春天，您是否在花園裡添加了一些草種子？一位花園專家分享了耐心的重要性和1英鎊的硬幣黑客，以幫助您為種子“提供舒適的環境”。

儘管最近到達英國，陽光明媚，陽光明媚的日子仍在經歷寒冷的夜晚。

Spring has arrived, bringing with it warmer, sunnier days. However, some areas are still experiencing chilly evenings with temperatures dropping to as low as 2C in some areas overnight this week.

春天到了，帶來了溫暖，更陽光的日子。但是，某些地區仍在經歷寒冷的夜晚，本周某些地區溫度下降到低至2C。

Lawnsmith's grass expert, Ben Agnew, weighs in on the impact of lower temperatures on grass seed growth and what gardeners can do to provide optimal conditions for their new lawn.

草坪史密斯的草地專家本·阿格紐（Ben Agnew）對較低溫度對草種子生長的影響以及園丁可以採取什麼措施為其新草坪提供最佳條件。

Gardeners urged not to 'panic' as lower temperatures could slow grass seed growth

園丁敦促不要“恐慌”，因為較低的溫度可能會減慢草種子的生長

With the spring sunshine finally arriving in the UK, many have taken the opportunity to add some grass seed to their gardens.

隨著春天的陽光終於到達英國，許多人藉此機會在他們的花園中添加了一些草種子。

However, despite the daytime warmth, temperatures have been dropping in the evenings.

但是，儘管白天溫暖，晚上的溫度仍在下降。

And while 10C is the minimum temperature needed for grass seed to be able to grow with the optimal temperature being more like 12 - 15C, the chillier nights mean gardeners will see a much slower response from their grass seed.

雖然10c是草種子能夠隨著最佳溫度而更像12-15攝氏度所需的最低溫度，但寒冷的夜晚意味著園丁的草種子的響應速度要慢得多。

This is nothing to panic about, patience is key when it comes to growing grass from seed. And these lower temperatures just mean the germination process will be slower.

這沒什麼可恐慌的，耐心是從種子種植草的關鍵。這些較低的溫度僅意味著發芽過程將較慢。

Despite not seeing results yet, Lawnsmith's expert insists gardeners aren't necessarily doing something wrong.

儘管尚未看到結果，但Lawnsmith的專家堅持認為，園丁不一定會做錯事。

Garden expert shares £1 coin hack to check soil depth for grass seeds

花園專家共享1英鎊的硬幣黑客，以檢查草種子的土壤深度

Ben explained: "Anyone starting a new lawn or filling in patches might be feeling frustrated with the lack of progress in their lawns. Especially if they've spent time and energy taking care of seedlings.

本解釋說：“任何開始新的草坪或填充補丁的人都可能會對草坪缺乏進展感到沮喪。特別是如果他們花了時間和精力照顧幼苗。

"And thankfully, there is nothing extra that they need to do except keep going with their usual lawn treatment. Keep the seedbed moist, but not pooling water.

“值得慶幸的是，除了繼續進行平時的草坪處理外，除了保持濕潤而不能保持水合水外，他們沒有什麼需要做的。

"Make sure seeds are at the correct depth to stay protected from the elements and maintain good seed-to-soil contact.

“確保種子處於正確的深度，以防止元素保護並保持良好的種子與土壤接觸。

"I recommend sowing your seeds at a depth of approximately three £1 coins stacked on top of each other. This will provide a comforting environment for the seedlings to germinate and grow.

“我建議播種您的種子，深度約為三英鎊的硬幣，彼此疊放。這將為幼苗發芽和生長提供一個舒適的環境。

"The worst thing you can do is panic and throw more grass seed down, as this could cause a situation where you lay too much seed and there is competition, leading to poor growth."

“您能做的最糟糕的事情就是驚慌，將更多的草種子倒下，因為這可能會導致您放置太多種子並且競爭的情況導致增長不佳。”

Different seeds have different germination speeds so growers should pay attention to the information provided by the seed manufacturer.

不同的種子具有不同的發芽速度，因此種植者應注意種子製造商提供的信息。

"It can depend on the type of seed used, but typically germination can take five to 15 days," Ben said.

本說：“這可能取決於所用種子的類型，但通常發芽可能需要五到15天。”

He added: "Grass seeds like ryegrass or fescue often germinate quickly compared to other varieties like Bermuda that can take longer and require higher soil temperatures."

他補充說：“與其他品種（如百慕大）相比，諸如黑麥草或羊茅之類的草種子通常會迅速發芽，這些品種可能需要更長的時間且需要更高的土壤溫度。”
