Gardening Materials/Items Do you want a garden? Well if you do read this chapter first. In this chapter I’ll name all the things that you may need for a garden. If you have other things that would be better then use them but these are things you need for a garden. So read this so you can start your own garden too. You will need dirt so your plant may grow. If your plant does not have dirt it will die. The dirt does not have to be really deep. Because if it is deep the seed wont be able to grow. Also to make sure your garden does not die you will need to make sure it get as much sun as possible. In less it is a plant that does not need too much sun. The best way to get sun is to have your garden poyting North and South. Your plant needs water if you don’t water it then it will die. The best thing to do is to make a watering sistom so it will water atlomaticly. A way you can do that is get a hose put it in-between your plants and poke holes in the hose and put the water on and all your plants will get water. If you cant do that you can use a watering can. Your plant will need a lot of room. A flower can grow up to 20 feet up and 7 feet down. That is a biggest it can get so if your planting you have to make sure you have a lot of room. If you don’t your plants wont grow properly. If you want a garden one big thing you need is a plan. If you don’t have a plan your garden won’t be good. You have to have a plan where you’re going to plant your seeds. Make sure your plan makes sense.

You will need a rake. If you don’t have a rake and your garden is outside it will not grow to well because it will have leaves all over it you have to get rid of the leaves. If you don’t have a rake and you cant buy one you can use your hands to pick up all the stuff that should not be there. You will also need responaonsabilat. You will have to go outside or where ever your garden is and water it and check on it every day. If you don’t your garden will die really fast. When you water it you will also want to check if the soil is to wet and to dry.

Strengths a Gardener Needs So do you want a garden? Well to own a good garden you will need some strengths. With out these strengths no garden for you. So if you want a garden get reading. Remember that you don’t need all of these but you need some. Grit is a big one. You will have to have grit because if you give up and don’t care about your garden then it will die. So you need to never give up and keep your garden healthy. So make sure if you want a garden you will take care of it. Resbonsabilaty You will have to have this if you don’t that is not good. You have to be respbonsoble so you can go out side where your garden is and make sure it is doing well. If you don’t do that every day it could died. That will not be good so you will have to make sure you check on it every day. Hope You will need it. If you don’t have hope a garden won’t work for you. You need to have hope if you don’t have hope then your garden wont grow. Because you don’t have hope you will think your garden will die and you may not water it.

Patients is probably the biggest one because your garden won’t grow in 10 seconds. So you will have to wait a long time for your plants to grow. So if you get a garden don’t hope it will grow in 10 seconds you have to wait at least 1 month dpending what the plant is.

Organizing a Garden Well if you want a good garden you cant just throw down seeds and say YAY I’m starting a garden. You will need to organiz it if you don’t this is what you will say. Wait what am I growing here. So read this chapter befor you plant or no good garden for you. You will need signs so you can know what plant is what plant. So in front of the plant will need a sign. You can make a sign by doing the following. First you will need a peas of paper and a stick. you cut the paper to a resonabol size for the stick. You are using then write on the paper what it is that is getting planted. Then glue or tape the paper and the stick together. Put it in the garden and boom now you have a sign. Seeds is one big thing for a garden. if you don’t have seeds well then you can’t plant the thing. You can buy seeds at a lot of shops that sell gardening stuff. So go to a shop that sells seeds then buy them. Befor you buy them make sure that is the seed you want. If it is not make sure you get the right one. Because you don’t want to plant the same thing (The name of the seed should be on the packing.) To get a garden you will want room to make wholes. You need to put the seed in a whole if you ask well how deep should the whole be then dpending on the size it is different but most seeds should be planted at lest deep as your middle Lingers nale. You will also need to make sure you have room up down also side to side. If you don’t your plant may not 8
grow proper. The biggest a Llower can get is 9 feet deep and 20 feet tall so make sure you got that room.

Most things Planted Do you ever ask your self what should I plant in my garden? Well if you do ask that read this chapter. Ill tell you some of the most comin things plant. Also where to Lind them and maybe why there comin and not to comin.
Tomato’s a big thing you may not see them at many house gardens but a lot of farmers/gardeners have them in there garden. They are very comin but they are hard to plant because the plant is really heavy when it grows. So you wont see them at many house gardens but some people have them. Mint is a big one and you will see it at a lot of house gardens. Because they grow fairly fast and they are super easy to plant because they mostly grow up so you don’t need to support them. They also are a big thing because they grow fast. Peppers are kind of comin kind of not. It is because they are kind of heavy so you will need support to keep them healthy. If you don’t have support or they will lean over and die! Same as watermelon they are hard to plant because they don’t have tons of support. Because once they start growing they will get heavy.

Straw berry’s are not like water melon and peppers they are at almost every home place and they are vary light and don’t need support. But they still need support like water food e.c.t but by support I mean like a stick to help the plant stay up. Corn is one thing at many houses don’t have at there garden. Because they grow realllllly tall they can be one of the biggest things that grow in the world. So if I were you I would not get corn to plant if you don’t have a lot of room.

Fun Facts Well this chapter is a fun fact chapter. If you don’t know what that is it is pertty much just a chapter all about facts that some people may not know. So if you want some facts about gardens I would start reading this chapter. I say facts about soil warms sunLlowers e.t.c Did you know that sunLlowers could grow the biggest plant in the world? The hight is about 20feet tell and 9 feet deep Wow. If you did not know that you will be supervised about this fact. Some farmers a long time ago and sometimes now days Farmer use oil from sunLlowers. That is amazing but I have one more fact about sunLlowers. Did you know 1 Llower could hold more then 1000 seeds WOW! Well I still have more facts but not about sunLlowers but lets get to them. The next fact is did you know that beans grow the fastest. Ya that is right beans are the fastest growing plant on earth I’m not sure about the Whole WORLD. You know earth warms are small right. Well if you know that well you may be amazed that one earth warm can turn over one inch of dirt. Wow one inch that is amazing. But are you ready for the next fact. Did you know that a scientist that works/Study’s Soil it called a Penologist wow. That is a wied word hu. Other fact is. Did you know if the world did not have warms gardens wont have big success. It is because warms eat the dirt then poop it out and gets better. Also without warms we would not have Composting. Compost is made by just simply putting Stuff some where were warms could eat it (Flower, dry leaves, e.t.c). Or once you Lind that stuff you can get a box and put 12
it all in there. Then you put warms in that box. Unther facts it that if water your plants with milk your crops will die. So make sure your not watering you plant with milk. It is called watering because you water it not milk it. It will kill your corps because the milk rots then it will rot your plants.

Review/Reminders Well you need to member if you don’t do all these things your garden may not grow so well. So ill go over some again that are SUPER important so Lirst one. Making sure it is getting sun, sun is its food just like you know you need food to live right. Well same with plant as they need food and sun is there food. Water it the same thing you need water for plants to grow. It is there water it is kind of there food like us we need water, water it really important for plants too not just us. Just also dpending what plant your planting it may not need water. Next thing is strengths you need so many. With some your garden is a big fail so make sure you have the the one you need are Responsabliaty,Pashtions,Girt and love so make sure that you have those you need them. Now for thing you need the own a garden. So you may all want a garden but you do need some special tools. They are super importuned so make sure you have them. Some you don’t need but it is good to have all. So don’t just start planting you have to make sure you have all the things you need. So if you want a garden start buying/making.
