work. 

tree with a tarp for Winter
protection.

8. Rototiller
 Before you plant, the first thing you need to do is
rotate the soil to get oxygen to the roots!

9. How to grow Tomatoes:
 Place a stick in the middle and tie the tomato plant to
the stick.
 This is important because if the tomato plant lays on
the ground it will get rotten.
