So we begin - step 1 setting out our plans

We're starting with the foundation of your garden - bringing in Super Hero Soil and the Micro Superheroes in it. We'll learn how to have them work for you to make a wonderful base for your plants.

We want to get the most out of what you've got so we'll be taking a closer look and studying the life cycle of plants, learning what they need to grow and thrive! You take care of them and they'll take care of you, giving you lots of garden goodies!

Knowing Your Plants for Bigger Harvests - Different parts of different plants give us different foods. Once we understand more of the plants purpose and how it grows we will know what is the right care to give that plant for optimum harvest of our garden goodies.

Celebrating Our Successes and Seeing What Needs Changing I hope you kept a record of all that was happening in your garden for I'm sure there was lots! This gives you something to refer back to so you can duplicate things and pick up things you'd like to change. Referring back to it let's you see how far you have come and helps you keep planning so can get lots of garden goodies!
