MoreThe very nicest kind of fathers and mothers will always let you make a garden. If there isnt a small piece of ground that you can have, then take a box; if you cant have a box of earth, then take a flower-pot or even a tin can; or if you cant get the earth, then make an aquatic garden with just water. The first thing is to find a place for your garden. Don tchoose a place near a tree or under a tree, or your flowers will find little to eat because the tree-roots will have been there before them. If you can, get a place in the full sunshine. If you cant have sunshine all day, try for a place which has the morning sun, rather than the afternoon sun. Flowers are like children and like to wake up early in the morning; there are only a few that prefer sleeping late. Beside your little garden, try to have a place for a seed-bed; this need not be large and, if possible, it should have the morning sun, and shade part of the day. Here you sow in narrow rows little plants which later you transplant to their homes in your garden.
