Gardening in Spring
Intermediate English listening exercise ยท Hobbies & Interests
Transcript
Spring is the perfect time to start a vegetable garden. I have been preparing my raised beds since early March. First, I mixed compost into the existing soil to add nutrients. I planted tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini in the sunny spots. Herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint go near the kitchen door for easy access. I water the garden every morning before work. The seedlings have already started sprouting, and I should have my first harvest by July. Gardening is incredibly relaxing and rewarding. There is nothing like eating a salad made with vegetables you grew yourself.
