Sandy Mashed Poatoes Learns About Gardening.

Hi guys! Last night for dinner we ate a salad from all of the ingredients in our garden. It was such a colorful, great feeling that I really wanted to share with you how to make this possible!!

I have been told all of gardening and life on earth can thank the big sun in the sky. So lets start there. The sun is a giant star in our galaxy that provides light, warmth and the greatest thing of all life!.

The first time in a lush garden will be a wonderful experience for anyone. To see all the colors, life and ecosystems that are all coming together to create something beneficial for all!

The tools that we need are a shovel, a hand rake and our two hands!

Most plant life begins in seed form, Seeds are the next generation produced by the plant. They are often located among the fruit or vegetable.

The first step to gardening is choosing all of the great possibilities you can grow according to your climate. It is good to keep in mind which plants help and interfere with other plants growth. Two examples are Carrots, Beans and Tomatoes all do well in the same area. The same goes with Onions, Peppers, and Lettuce.

At the end of your seed selection comes the physical part of gardening...the best part!

Before you plant in your designated area it is necessary to till the earth..this means to disturb the area and bring air to the lower areas. Also to give the seeds plenty of opportunity to sprout healthy root systems.

When you are planting you can either plant in rows or any way you'dd like, this is your garden!

So this part is where you place the seeds in the ground. Dig a hole to the depth of your pinky finger. Place 4-5 seeds in each hole you create. Its best to give your plants space so a good rule is to give your plants 8-12 inches between them.

Cover all of the areas with a good handful of soil to make sure your seeds have plenty of area to sprout. After that grab your watering pale, and give your garden a nice shower.
