I need to find a good spot to plant my seedling!

How to transfer a seedling into a garden bed!
You will need:
  • Watering can
  • Rubber gloves
  • Trowel
  • Brown sheep poo
  • A big garden bed
  • A seedling in a pot
Method:

  1. Grab your rubber gardening gloves and wear it, make sure you have the right glove for each hand.
  2. Find a space in your garden bed for your seedling.
  3. Dig a medium sized hole using your trowel (making sure it's the depth of the seedling). Make sure it's not to big or too small for the seedling.
  4. Put your brown sheep poo into the hole.
  5. Squeeze each side of the seedling in a pot to loosen the soil in the pot.
  6. Hold the seedling between your index finger and your middle finger. Use your other hand to support the seedling and then turn it upside down carefully.
  7. Slowly pull and tap the seedling out and place it into the hole quickly. If the pot of the seedling cannot be removed, try step five again.
  8. Use your trowel to cover up the seedling with the surrounding soil.
  9. Take off your gloves and use the watering can to water the seedling that you've transferred.
  10. Finally put back your watering can back and wash your hands.

Learning intention: We are learning to create a procedure.
I know I can do this when I write 10 steps for transfering a seedling into a garden bed.
