Growing your own plant

Today My mum and I are going to plant some herbs and lettuces. Firstly we started to get the soil prepared to plant the plants. We found a patch of soil and put a whole bag o cow manure on it. Then you mix the cow manure with the original soil. Then we used the worm castings (see story about wriggly worm farms) and mixed that on as well.

Secondly we got our containers of small herbs which you buy from the plant shop. You then make holes in the soil in lines about 2cm apart. You then very carefully pull put eat plant at a time and place it on one o the holes. After you have done this you very carefully push in the soil around the plant filling on the holes. Then give your plants a big water an wait for them to grow. Make sure you water your plants everyday. We planted 2 types of lettuces and we planted rocked and basil.
