In the Garden

Planting and Growing

Let's get our hands dirty! When working in the garden, you will likely be planting (at plante) the seed (frøet) in the soil or ground (jorden).

I am planting a tree in the garden today.
Jeg planter et træ i haven i dag.
The girl plants the seed in the dark soil.

With a little time and patience, you will soon see everything start to grow (at vokse).

Digging the Soil

To put your plants in the ground, you need the right tools. Grab the spade (spaden) and start to dig (at grave).

The woman has a big spade.
Kvinden har en stor spade.
The boy digs with the spade.
Drengen graver med spaden.

When removing old or dead plants, make sure you dig up the root (roden)!

Bushes and Weeds

A garden is full of different kinds of life. You might decide to plant a new shrub or tend to the bush (busken), but you will inevitably also have to deal with the weeds (ukrudtet).

The grandfather plants a new bush behind the house.
Bedstefaren planter en ny busk bag huset.

Watering

When the sun is shining on the weekend, your plants get thirsty. Don't forget to water (at vande) them using the watering can (vandkanden).
