As we gathered in the garden at school, excitement filled the air. It was our first day
of clearing the area and transforming it into a vibrant space for plants and nature to thrive.
With gloves on our hands and determination in our hearts, we set out to tackle the
overgrown wilderness that lay before us. The garden had been neglected for months, and

weeds had taken over every inch
of the soil. But we saw beyond the tangled mess. We saw the potential, the possibility of
creating something beautiful and inviting. Armed with shovels, rakes, and a vision, we began
our task.
As we dug into the soil, sweat trickling down our brows, we discovered hidden
treasures beneath the invasive weeds. The soil was rich and fertile, promising a bountiful
future. We cleared away the debris, removing weeds and rocks, making space for new life to
take root. Amidst our work, we huddled together, discussing our plans. We wanted to choose
plants that would thrive in this specific area, taking into account the sunlight, and soil
composition. We researched different plants, considering their colors, sizes, and seasonal
blooms. Our goal was to create a garden that would be ever-changing and alive throughout
the year.
Days turned into weeks, and we worked tirelessly, removing every last week,
preparing the soil, and planting our chosen vegetation. It was a labor of love, a shared effort
that brought us closer together. We laughed and chatted, swapping stories and tips as we

Excitement buzzed through the air as we gathered in the garden once again, ready to

revitalized space.

to thrive. Our next task was to
enrich the soil with organic matter, providing the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.
With sack filled with rich, dark manure, we spread it evenly across the plots we had
meticulously prepared. The earthy scent permeated the air as we worked together, turning
the soil and blending the manure in, ensuring that it was thoroughly mixed with the earth.
As we worked, we could feel the transformation taking place beneath our hands. The
soil, once devoid of nutrients, came alive with vitality. The manure provided essential organic
matter, replenishing the soil's fertility. It was a testament to our commitment to sustainable
and eco-friendly gardening practices. With each turn of the soil, we could envision the
beneficial effects the manure would have on our plants. It would supply vital nutrients such
as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, bolstering their growth and enhancing their
resilience. We knew that by fortifying the soil, we were laying the foundation for a thriving
garden.

With the soil enriched and the promise of growth in the air, we eagerly began the process of
planting our chosen watermelon seeds. Watermelon, with its juicy sweetness and refreshing
taste, was a delightful addition to our garden. In the designated plot, we carefully created
small mounds of soil, providing the watermelon seeds with a favorable environment to thrive.
Each mound was spaced appropriately, allowing ample room for the vines to spread and the
fruits to develop.
With gentle hands, we pressed the watermelon seeds into the mounds, ensuring they
were buried at the optimal depth. We knew that watermelon seeds needed warmth and
moisture to germinate successfully, so we covered them lightly with soil and watered the
area gently.
continued to water the seeds regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not overly
saturated.
The sun's warmth, combined with the nutrients from the enriched soil, created the
ideal conditions for the seeds to sprout. And then, with anticipation building, we saw it—a
tiny green shoot emerging from the soil. The first sign of our watermelon plant's growth
brought smiles to our faces and a sense of accomplishment to our hearts. We knew that this

To protect our beloved plants
from potential threats. My team decided to build a fence. The fence repair was essential to
safeguard the growing watermelon vines and ensure their undisturbed progress.
We gathered the necessary tools and materials, ready to tackle the task at hand.
With diligence and teamwork, we began mending the fence, reinforcing weak areas and
securing any loose sections. We ensured that the fence was sturdy enough to withstand
external pressures and keep unwanted visitors at bay. As we worked on the fence, we
plan to install netting above the vines, preventing birds and other creatures from feasting on
the ripening fruits. The netting would provide a barrier, allowing the watermelons to mature
undisturbed until they were ready for harvest. With precision and care, we attached the
netting to sturdy posts, creating a protective canopy over the watermelon plants. We made
sure that it was secured tightly, ensuring there were no gaps for potential invaders to slip
through.

task. Every time we visit our plant we watered it because, we believed that watering the
