56.I'm Nick.Last summer,as usual,my parents took my sister and I to Grandpa's farmhouse.Grandpa said there were many farmers living around the old farmhouse years ago,but there aren't so many now. Mum wanted to plant a vegetable garden,so Grandpa tilled the soil (犁地).In late May,we planted onions (洋蔥) potatoes,carrots,corn and Chinese cabbages.By the end of June.there were a lot of weeds (野草) in our garden,so we had a lot of work to do. By the middle of July,we had so many onions!We ate them in salad and egg sandwiches,and gave a lot away.Where were our carrots and Chinese cabbages?Grandpa said the grasshoppers (蚱蜢) ate the tops off them! By the middle of August,the grasshoppers started eating the leaves off the potato plants,so I we picked the potatoes,and they were small.The corn did not get very big either.There were just too many weeds.However,we still had fun eating our delicious potatoes and onions. By the end of August,our garden was empty,but the memories (回憶) of this special summer on the farm will be with us forever!
