Let's cultivate your green thumb! This lesson introduces the essential vocabulary you will need for managing your garden, from sowing seeds to weeding flowerbeds.

### Planting and Watering

When starting out, you will likely plant your seeds in a flowerbed (*et bed*) or a greenhouse (*et drivhus*).

{{item:1211665}}

To keep your new seeds happy, you will need to water them. This is usually done using the garden hose (*en haveslange*).

{{item:1211667}}

### Fertilizing and Weeding

If you want your plants to thrive, you have to fertilize (*at gøde*) the soil using fertilizer (*gødning*).

{{item:1211672}}

{{item:1211674}}

A gardener's work is never done. You also need to regularly weed (*at luge*) the garden. The pulled weeds and other organic waste can be thrown onto the compost (*komposten*).

{{item:1211678}}

{{item:1211681}}

### Sprouts and Gardening Gear

Soon, your hard work will pay off, and you will see the first little sprout (*en spire*) popping up from the soil.

{{item:1211683}}

For heavier garden chores, like moving soil or weeds, a wheelbarrow (*en trillebør*) is essential. 

{{item:1211686}}

Finally, if you don't have a large garden or prefer a raised setup, you can always grow your plants in a planter box (*en plantekasse*).
