A little boy is with his father, and they are going to plant a garden together. At the garden center, the little boy chooses some seeds, and then he had his father plant them in a tray. After receiving a little water and some sunlight, the seeds soon send up little plants. Later, the little boy helps his father transplant some plants into the garden and to sow some lettuce seeds in the ground. The plants will need to be watered, and then there will be weeds to pull. Soon enough there will be flowers to admire and fresh veggies to harvest and eat.
