MY ORGANIC GARDEN by Larry Davidson, age 13 Last year my family and I started to make our own fruit and vegetable garden. We wanted to do something for our planet so we decided to grow our own plants organically. This means that we only use natural ways to look after them. For example, we put our old fruit and vegetables on the ground where the plants grow, but other people just throw all their old food in the bin Also, now we grow our own fruit and vegetables, so we don’t need to buy them. Having an organic garden is clearly a healthier option because the fruit and vegetables you grow will be safe for people and animals, too. We had to work very hard. At first, we were afraid because we might not have enough time to do everything, but then we realised that each of us could look after the garden on different days. To make onr garden we used a large wooden hax which was about the size af onr kitchen table We cleaned it and made 20 holes at the bottom for the water to drain out. We covered the holes with some little stones and the soil where the plants could grow. Then we planted very tiny plants and watered them every day. On the left we planted tomatoes, onions, carrots and potatoes, while on the right there were a few melons and strawberries. In about a month we picked our first fruits and vegetables.
