The vegetables we eat in salads
grow on plants. The plants
grow in fields and greenhouses.
A greenhouse is a building
made of glass or plastic. It has
the right and
temperature
light for growing plants.
Plants also need the right
amount of water.
6
These tomatoes are growing in a greenhouse.
7
Vegetables need water, sunshine,
and healthy soil to grow. Then it’s
time to gather the crops.
Lettuce heads and tomatoes
are cut from the plants. Tomatoes
are picked when they are still
a bit green. They will ripen on
their way to market. Carrots
grow beneath the soil. Machines
lift carrots from the ground.
8
Workers use machines to help them
pick lettuce.
