Do you long to have garden-fresh vegetables on your plate every night? Read on for information on how to take care of a garden.
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn’t rain for a few days and the soil feels dry,water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots (the parts that grow down into the soil) of the plants,but don't water too much. You could drown (淹死) your plants!
You may see some plants in your garden that you didn't put there. These are weeds. Pull them out when the ground is soft and wet. Be sure you get out the roots,or the weeds will grow back.
Tall plants such as tomatoes need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks,they’ll fall over. When your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall,it ,s time to stick to them. Push a long stick into the ground next to each plant. Tie the plant to the stick with a string. As each plant grows taller,you’ll have to tie it up again.
If you’ve planted seeds,you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away,so that the plants left will have room to grow. This is called thinning. If you’ve planted lettuce seeds,wait until the baby plants are about 1. 5 inches tall. Then pull some of the plants out so that you can leave about 8 inches between plants.
Now that you’ve done all the work to make a vegetable garden,it's time to enjoy what you’ve finished. Pick a red,ripe,juicy tomato. Eat it while ifs still warm from the sun. Or cut it up and put it in a salad-made with lettuce you picked yourself. If you have more vegetables from your garden than you and your family can eat,give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to have the joy you get from your garden together with others.

1. How should you water the garden?
2. What are some plants you didn't put in your garden?
3. Do tomatoes need special care?
4. Why should we do thinning?
5. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
