12、Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old M

19、an McColgins chicken house in exchange for manure（肥料）. The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its

20、sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter. As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew（炖菜）.Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions

26、ot from his disability.CWhat Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isntprerequisitefor a modern grow-your-own lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can（装罐）and preserve much of the food they consume.Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning e

She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.“I teach people how t
