- Water the seedlings every other day until they are big enough to transplant into the ground (about four inches high with plenty of roots).
- Dig up a garden plot in a sunny place adding about four inches of compost. Demonstrate with adult tools but provide smaller tools for young people. If this is a new garden plot try to dig at least eight inches down. If it is easier to dig then go twelve inches. This gives new roots plenty of room to grow. If kids get bored that is ok. They can bring compost, plants, and the hose to the site while you finish digging. I like to start the first plot at about six feet by six feet.
