context: When I was a boy, my dad loved to teach me how to make a garden.  He first told me about when to plant the plants.  He then told me which plants would do really well in the area that we lived.  We prepared the ground by towing it with a machine.  The machine turned the dirt around and made sure that it was fresh to be planted.  We took out seeds and spaced them apart to give room for the plants to grow.  We watered them every day after that and made sure that they didn't get run over by weeds or bugs.  When the fall came around, my whole family went outside to pick the plants.  We picked out the corn and peas and beans.  My dad and I cut the melons off of the vine and we ate those while we finished all of our work out there.
