【解析】本文主要讲述了爸爸用心经营他的小花园，花园里种了各种各样的蔬菜。

【1】考查时态。根据前面的“lived”可知，此处描述的是发生在过去的事情，应该用一般过去时，故填appreciated。

【2】考查介词。in exchange for为固定搭配，表示“作为……的交换”，故填for。

【3】考查副词。修饰句子或动词用副词，故填probably。

【4】考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词为brothers and sisters，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，应该用who或that引导这个从句，故填who / that。

【5】考查非谓语动词。use sth to do表示“使用某物做……”，故填to prepare。

【6】考查名词。tomato是可数名词，此处与peppers、watermelons并列表泛指，故填tomatoes。

【7】考查宾语从句。此处为where引导的宾语从句，作介词from的宾语，相当于the place where，故填where。

【8】考查冠词。shelf是可数名词，第一次提到，所以用a表示泛指，故填a。

【9】考查形容词。由句意可知，此处表示“死去的”或“垂死的”，故填dead或dying。

【10】考查形容词性物主代词。修饰名词own home应该用形容词性物主代词，故填our。
