Title: My Garden:
I love gardening. My garden is very big and it has tomatoes, watermelon, cucumber, beans, flowers, and two potato plants. My first year, I had a very tiny garden, but then one day my dad dug a big garden for me, just like his. I think my dad is the best dad in the entire world. My babysitter Radha helped me try to keep the insects off my plants. I’ve been doing this for three years. I first got interested by thinking about how many foods I would get and that I could eat them for free, and for the fun of it.
Last weekend we plucked the first cucumber from my dad's garden. My mom wouldn't eat it as it had spikes in it. My dad cut it into little pieces and sprinkled salt on it. We both shared our first homegrown cucumber. Then I asked my dad to help me build a small channel to help me water my garden better. We spent all day digging a large rectangular shaped hole at a corner. Then my dad and I went to the hardware store and bought a plastic container to contain the water. We decorated the entire area with pebbles. We hooked up the hose to the starting point of the channel. I lined the narrow channel with Aluminum foil. The water started flowing!!! It was one of the best experiences of my life!
