Gardening

By Janesh, age 11

I was on my computer, playing a game, then suddenly, I heard my mom shout, JANESH COME! I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING! I need you to tend to my garden while I’m out, my mom tells me. She says it’s urgent and hands me a list of what to do. I say to myself, looks like watering is first up, fill up the watering can, and start watering the plants. I go from plant to plant left to right. Alright, one thing off the list, 2 more to go. I glance at the list, and see that I have to fertilize the plants. I take the fertilizer and add a little to each plant. Finally, I have to re-pot ALL THE PLANTS. I get a little bit nervous, even a few drops of sweat fall down. I carefully read the instructions and precisely follow what it says. Move the plant slowly from one pot to another. I do that for all of them, and barely finish before my mom comes home.
