   Farmer Lia keeps a calendar for one bean field in a temperate place. Put her year of work in order.

4. Why in season tastes best

   Kofi bites a summer strawberry from the field and another, pale one from a winter shop. Help him work out why they taste so different.

5. Inside the greenhouse

   Explorer Pip is packing crates for two farms: one on a hot, rainy island and one in a cool hillside valley. Which crop goes where?

7. Saving summer for later

   Grandma has more plums, apples and peas than the family can eat today. She wants to keep some for the cold months, using old and new ways.
