In the spring, when the weather starts to get warm, it’s time to get to work．You’ll need to take up a shovel and dig up your garden．It’s a big job, so find a helper if you can．Dig your garden when the ground isn’t too wet． 　　In digging your garden, first get rid of all the grass and weds．Pull them up and shake off the good dirt．Then dig up the soil to make it nice and soft．Dig down at least twelve inches, and turn over the soil as you dig．The soil that was at the bottom will now be on the top．It will be loose and soft． 　　Help make your garden better for planting by mixing two things into the soil：peat moss and fertilizer．You’ll need to go to the garden store to buy these things．They come in large packages．Fertilizer is measured in pounds．If your garden is about 6 feet wide and 8 feet long, you will need about 1 pound of fertilizer．Peat moss is measured in cubic feet．Your garden will need about 1 cubic foot of peat moss． 　　At last, you’re ready to plant your garden!
