Ben and his mom decided to plant their own vegetables in their garden this year. They do not have a big garden, but they have some space. They are also using containers to plant some of the vegetables in.

Have a look here for some ideas on how you can plant vegetables in containers.

Ben plants some beans and potatoes and also tomatoes and peas. The potatoes are his favourite. What vegetables do you like?

When it does not rain and the ground is dry, Ben has to water the plants by hand. Do you have an idea on how to water plants?

He also needs to pull out the weeds once a week so that they do not take over the place where the vegetables must grow or use up all the minerals in the ground.

One day Ben was very upset. The neighbour's goat came into his garden and ate some of the plants. He chased the goat away. Ben must make a plan so that the goat cannot get to the plants again. Can you help Ben with an idea?
