[2025大庆期末]We all know that eating some fresh fruit and vegetables is good for our health. But it can be expensive, especially if you have a big family.

Rob has a vegetable garden in his house in Cambridge. He says, "It can be hard work sometimes, but I love it. I grow lots of different vegetables, such as carrots, onions and beans. It saves me a lot of money, and the vegetables I grow are better than anything you can buy in the shops."
His garden has an apple tree and a pear tree. The apples aren't very sweet, but he bakes them with brown sugar, and the family eat them for dessert with ice cream. Rob also grows strawberries, and usually makes a few jars of jam each summer. "I'd like to make more," he says. "The only problem is that after the children see the strawberries, there aren't many left!"
