Happy Earth Day! Today is a special day when we should celebrate the Earth. Remember that we should take care of the Earth today AND every day! To celebrate, my family and I planted vegetable seeds in our garden today.
I challenge each of you to do something to help the Earth. Pick up garbage, plant seeds, recycle plastic bottles, or reuse a plastic bag. There are so many ways that we can help our Earth become more beautiful. If we each do one thing every day to help keep nature clean, our Earth will look incredibly different.
Below are some instructions on how you can plant seeds:
1) First, gather your materials. You may need: hands, a stick, a shovel, seeds (you can get them from a real vegetable), dirt, sunshine, water, and time.
2) Then, you can read the back of the seed instructions (or take a good guess) to find out how deep you need to dig a row or a hole for your seeds. Here, we used a stick and some shovels to make our rows.
We followed the instructions on the back of the seed packet. 
Here is one of our rows where we put the seeds.
3) Again, (following the instructions or by guessing) place the seeds inside of the hole/row.
4) Cover up the seeds with extra dirt.
5) Make sure to water your seeds at least every other day. Being too dry is a problem for them. They also need sunshine to grow, so make sure they are not covered by too much shade.
Extra step- my mom and I made sticks with little names on them to remember which seeds were in each row.
Now, we wait! We will carefully water our seeds, let the sun do its work, and wait patiently for our vegetable plants to grow!
