Gardening Tips

Gardening can be a fun and relaxing outdoor hobby for the whole family. If you plan to start your own garden, there are some basic tips you should know before you begin digging up your yard. Whether you want to learn how to start a vegetable garden or how to plant a flower garden, this page will provide links to tips and tricks to help you grow a beautiful garden of your very own.

Before you plant your garden, you should devote a little bit of time to planning. First, decide what type of garden you want to plant and where it will be located. Then, choose what plants you want to grow. Determine the growing season for each plant, and decide if it is suitable for your climate region. After you have decided what you want to plant, develop a gardening schedule according to the dates of the last frost in your region. Decide when you will prepare the ground for planting, when to plant, and when to fertilize. Pest control and weed control in your garden should also be considered.

Prepare the Garden

Whether you are planting flowers or vegetables, a solid foundation to your garden is a must. Allow yourself plenty of time to prepare your garden before you begin planting. Outline your garden using string and stakes, then begin pulling up the sod and weeds using gardening tools. If you can, try to kill any weeds you see. Herbicide can be used tocontrol weeds, or you can pull them out by hand. Some gardeners recommend laying down black plastic across the plot to keep grass and weeds out of the new garden.1

Battlefield 3 Walkthrough

Welcome to the Battlefield 3 walkthrough, where you’ll find text and video covering the singleplayer campaign.

Prepare to be impressed. Not since Crysis has a PC game come around that demanded perfection from our weak computers. There is no two ways about it, Battlefield 3 is a beautiful game. Graphics aside, it’s also a huge game — the conquest multiplayer modes we all know and love from the Battlefield series still reign supreme online, with tanks, helicopters, and jet fighters thrown into the mix over sprawling maps. But, Battlefield 3 doesn’t stop there, with the inclusion of a full singleplayer story and a separate co-op campaign. That’s a lot of content to handle.

That’s why the modern war-fighters of Game Front are ready to draft up new orders for players everywhere with our text and video walkthrough.

Co-op Campaign

How to Draw Mordecai from Regular Show

Step 1: Head and Body

source: media.mahalo.com

1. For the head, draw a circle.

2. Draw the vertical curved line of action inside the circle. Since he's looking straight to the left, his features will be on the left side. Thus, the curved line should bend out in that direction.

3. For the eyes, draw a small circle on each side of the line of action.

4. For the beak, draw a long, thin trapezoid. Its right side should start below his left eye (the circle on the right).

5. For the hair, draw a large triangle on top of the head. Draw a smaller triangle to the right of it.

6. For his left arm, draw a long, thin vertical rectangle coming down from the head. This should be lined up with the second triangle of his hair.

7. For the right arm, draw a long, thin triangle. It should open on the bottom and at its point. The point area should connect to the bottom of his head, right at the bottom of the line of action.

Step 2: Hands, Legs and Feet

1. For the left hand, draw four thin vertical triangles coming down from the end of the arm.

2. For the right leg, draw two long, thin sticks coming down from the bottom of the body.

3. For the right foot, draw two thin horizontal ovals projecting left from the left bottom side of the right leg.

4. For the left leg, draw two long, thin sticks coming down from the bottom of the body. These should be overlapped by the left hand. They should extend further down than the right leg.

5. For the left foot, draw two thin horizontal ovals projecting left from the left bottom side of the left leg.

Step 3: Draw Mordecai

Now that you've seen the character breakdown, try drawing Mordecai with Ken.

Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops Walkthrough

The multiplayer and singleplayer might be where most of the action in Modern Warfare 3 is, but it’s the Spec Ops game mode that offers the most unique challenges with combined elements from those other two game modes. Offering a distinct experience of singleplayer content and co-op multiplayer, you’ll take on unique challenges against hordes of enemies. Some missions have you defusing bombs while a friends snipes, others team you up to hunt terrorists, and one explosive missions sends you after the Russian President himself in an echo of Mile High Club from Modern Warfare 1.
