It was a few weeks after the first day at Lipton’s Organic Farm. Cadie had gotten quite used to waking early. In fact she was up most mornings before her alarm. The summer had been a beautiful time and Cadie was learning so much. Growing fruit and vegetables was fun. How to care for them without chemicals and how to pick them. Knowing when to harvest them and how to store them too. Cadie enjoyed her time with her whole family. But her dad always seemed to do the things she liked best. So Cadie would spend a lot of her time in the garden with her dad.
Like today for instance. “Come on Cadie time to fetch dinner.” Her dad said loud from outside. She quickly threw her boots on and chased after him down the garden. Along the Hawthorn bushes and to the gate leading to Lipton’s Organic Farm. “What are we picking today dad?” Cadie asked.
“Well I want to make a Tabouleh. Do you know what a Tabouleh is?” Her father asked leaning to the heavy metal gate. “Umm no I don’t.” She replied as she helped him push the gate open. Her basket in her right hand. Ready to go and pick today’s food.
“Well a Tabouleh is a kind of salad. It’s actually a very tasty dish. I’m sure you will like it.” He said. Cadie swung her basket in anticipation at today’s findings. Her dad stood with his hands on his hips looking around. “Well let’s start with cucumber.” He winked. “I remember when Codie hit me with one of those.” Cadie giggled. “Yes well not today dear. We need one for the Tabouleh.”
Cadie knew what she was doing. She crouched to the cucumbers and felt along the stem of each one. Until she found one that felt ripe enough. She snapped it odd and placed it carefully in the basket. “Good girl. Next are cherry tomatoes.” Her dad ordered.
Hands behind his back. Making Cadie learn the ropes. She led him down a small concrete pathway to the hot houses. Her dad flicked the latch and let them in. The heat hit them and made Cadie wave her hand in front of her face quickly. “Make it quick Cadie before we both faint.” Her dad said grinning. Again Cadie found a plant she liked the look of. She felt the tomatoes for ripeness and popped around twenty into her basket. She turned to her dad grinning. “Anything else?” Cadie asked. “Just a sprig of Parsley we have everything else in the kitchen.”
In the kitchen Cadie slid her basket to the worktop. As her dad sharpened a knife and pulled a chopping board from the wall. “OK so we have all the things we need. Let's make the Tabouleh.
