chomp

chomp do you know what i’m eating

i’m eating tomatoes do you know

where it comes from you must think it’s

from the supermarket

sorry it’s not it’s from my greenhouse

at the beginning of this year on one

sunny day my dad and i

were sitting in our backyard i was

playing in the garden

but i could see that he was just looking

at the garden

and did not move

it looked like he was thinking about an

idea

so i went to my dad and asked him what

was he thinking about

my dad smiled and asked me grace

do you want to build a greenhouse with

me

then we can plant whatever fruits and

veggies we want

do you think it’s a cool idea

a greenhouse wow

let’s do it that let’s do it it would be

so exciting

a few days later we started our

greenhouse project

we tried to use recycling materials to

make

an amazing greenhouse we use with sticks

to do the structure and plastic cloth

to do the walls one thing i have to

mention

is my dad also made a window and a door

to make our greenhouse look good

i thought it was fashionable it looked

like a real house

but my dad said that it was actually

for cooling down and keeping air

circulation in summer

when the weather is very hot

when it was finally completed i was so

amazed next we put in soil

my hands got dirty but i still feel so

happy and so proud of the work my dad

and i did now

the greenhouse is ready my dad

asked me what kind of

vegetables do you want to plant

after a while i said tomatoes

that’s my favorite so we grew a variety

of veggies

such as tomatoes cucumbers green beans

and strawberries

we cared for our plants every day

we water them we give them fresh air

and we weeded them too sometimes

we even sing songs to them to make them

feel happy

i like to water them do you know how i

do it

i just find a recycling bottle and punch

so many holes in it

then i put water in and make it rain for

them

day after day all the plants

were growing up healthy and strong

one day i was so surprised

that the tomatoes were as big as an

apple the beans were as long

as a snake the strawberries

were as red as cherries and the bok choy

was as green as the grass in summertime

picking the vegetables to enjoy them for

my meals

makes me so happy

now i have a question for everyone

do you know why we decided to build a

greenhouse

in our own backyard and try to plant

veggies by ourselves

because we want to do something to make

our world a better place

growing your own vegetables and fruits

are not just healthier for you they

are better for the planet too

when we go to supermarkets they get food

from farms

farms need trucks to deliver fruits and

veggies

to the supermarket every day

the trucks need gas which come from

fossil fuels and give out a lot of

co2 which i know is

very bad for the environment

so i think what everyone could do

is try to plant fruits and veggies

in your own backyard or even plant in

plant pot

it will not only make you feel satisfied

but it’s so much healthier for you

and also they are very delicious

we only have one home planet earth

we have to make this better together

all of us can make small changes

which can make an enormous impact

and now you know how to do it

uh-oh it’s time for me to help my dad

make dinner and whatever

i’m going to make i know it’s going to

be very delicious

bye everyone
