Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

I decided to start growing a garden at home because I have always been fascinated by the idea of having my own plants and fresh vegetables. In my garden, I planted a variety of vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots and lettuce, because they are relatively easy to grow and I love using them in my meals. I also planted some aromatic herbs, like basil and mint, to give flavor to my dishes. If someone wants to start their own garden at home, I would recommend starting with simple plants. Don’t get discouraged if things don’t go perfectly the first time, since gardening requires patience and practice.
