Art of Gardening
• You will start with
seeds from a packet.
• It’s best to “start” the
seeds in a starter box
in the house.
• It will usually take 10
to 14 days for the
seeds to germinate.
Lots of Work Ahead…
• While your seeds are
germinating, get your
plot ready for planting.
• You may need to till.
• You will need to hoe.
• You should use
fertilizer to get the soil
ready for the plants.
The Fun Begins
• Seedlings should be
getting little leaves.
• Make rows in the plot.
• Read the directions on
how far to place seedlings
apart.
• Plant the seedlings into the
rows.
• WATER YOUR
SEEDLINGS!!
Wait and Watch
• Think the work is
done? WRONG!!
• Plants need lots of
water, but not too
much. Don’t drown.
• Keep the weeds out of
the garden.
• Watch your plants
grow.
HARVEST WHAT YOU SOW
• After 45 days or more,
depending on your
plants, you will be
able to pick your
produce and EAT!!
• Be sure to enjoy what
you and Mother
Nature have grown
together.
