The Garden


Since our last garden didn't grow very well, mom and dad decided to grow a new one. The last time we tried gardening we bought the plants from the store. This time we are starting from the seed. Some of the seeds are tomatoes, Serranos, basil, and marigolds. Dad said when we water them the will grow into seedlings then we can put the plants outside in our garden. There is also some things I would like to see grow like, cherries, strawberries, bell peppers, and sun flowers. I asked mom and dad if we could grow apples. Well apparently I didn't know that if you want to grow apples or peaches, that would result in a tree in my backyard! Dad told me if I want to be a chef, you should use the freshest ingredients from the garden. If I am going to use the garden plants, I have to help dad weed and water the plants.

basketball


Since I got a basketball for Christmas, I have been very interested in learning to play. Brittany has taken me to the park to teach me. Brittany had some of her friends go with her to help me play. She has taught me many things about basketball. Brittany has taught me how to do two kinds of dribbling. She has taught me how to do regular dribbling and offensive dribbling. I learned how to pass and she also taught me a few throws. I can even do an under throw, a high ball and just regular throwing. I have gone outside every opportunity I have and practiced everything Brittany has taught me. The reason I wanted a basketball is so when I was good enough I good join a junior basketball team. All I need is the speed, height, and strength, then I will be able to join a team.
