How to Grow Your Own Garden

The first step is to prepare the work area to plant. This includes taking out the weeds, and making some fallow land with a shovel to make the land loose and suitable for plants. After this step. try not to step on the area for too long so that the dirt doesn't get tight again.

The next step is to make rows out of the soil with a shovel. Now you can step in some parts of the work area to make the rows. The soil that you step on will be used as walkways to get around in your work area. Remember to not step on the rows that you make.

Now you need to plant! If you are attempting to grow a vegetable garden in the summer, tomatoes are a good choice. If it's the winter, then broccoli and lettuce are great plants. Make the holes in the rows as deep as it is needed, and make sure to space them correctly.

Now you need to water the plants. Remember they don't need a lot of water especially if it's the winter because it usually rains. If the leaves and soil around the plants is dry then you probably need to water them. Remember to get as close as you can to the roots, and try not to water too hard because you could break the plant's stems which are essential for their survival.

Finally, you just need to wait and protect your plants. If you're not seeing good results, it might be because you need some fertilizer to help the plants grow, or you might need to buy insect repellents to stop them from eating your plants. if the weather if too harsh during the winter, you might need to cover them up with a protective cover, or if they need more sun, you could try buying reflective glass (greenhouse) to intensify the sun rays. Remember that even winter plants need a little sun, so your harvest basically depends on the weather.

Finally, when the season's over, you need to collect your harvest. If you plan on continuing to use the area for the next season, you need to yank out all the plants, and repeat all the steps all over again to harvest new plants!
