Question

Have you ever thought of owning a garden of yours? It must be a very nice experience for you !

Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn't rain for a few days and the soil feels dry, water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots of the plants, but don't water too much.

Tall plants need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks, they'll fall over. For example, when your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall, it's time to push a long stick into the gronnd next to each plant.

If' you have planted seeds(种子) , you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away so that the plants left will have room to grow.

If you've planted lettuce seeds, wait until the baby plants are about l. 5 inches tall. Then, pull some of the plants out so that you leave 8 inches between plants.

Now that you've done all the work, it's time to enjoy what you've got. Pick a red tomato. Eat it while it's still warm from the sun. Or cut it up and put it in a salad. If you have more vegetables from your garden than you and your family can eat, give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to share the joy you get from your garden with others.

So you can see, work will always make you happy.
