Sam : I think a vegetable garden is a
great idea. We already do hours of
sports,including some athletics. However
not everyone likes sports.
Gardening is a great way to get exercise
without worrying about whether you are
good at it, or whether you are going to
win. However, you really do get exercise
when you are gardening. There are
digging, weeding, and watering. Even
picking things can be hard work -
pumpkins aren't light, you know!.There
are a lot of kids around here who don't
have garden, so they can grow things
even if they want to. If you really want to
do more sports, you can join a club.
Think about this: what helps you to be
good at sports? You need to eat a lot of
fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook
all of the things we grow, the garden will
keep us all fit and healthy and then we
will be better at sports.
