Image description

The image is a wide, landscape-oriented instructional visual presented as a single composition divided into six clearly defined panels, arranged in two rows of three. Across the top, a rustic wooden sign-style header reads “Planting a Kiwi Vine: Step-by-Step,” setting an educational and practical tone. The color palette is natural and earthy, dominated by rich brown soil, green foliage, and wooden textures, giving the scene a realistic garden setting. Panel one illustrates proper spacing: a gardener’s legs and boots are visible beside freshly dug holes in bare soil, with a bright yellow measuring tape stretched between them. Overlaid text and graphic markers indicate the recommended spacing of approximately 10–12 feet apart, emphasizing the importance of room for vine growth. Panel two focuses on digging the planting hole, showing a shovel cutting into loose soil. The hole appears wide and deep, with a clear label noting a width of roughly 18–24 inches, visually reinforcing correct planting depth and preparation. Panel three highlights soil improvement, depicting gloved hands tipping a container of dark, crumbly compost into the hole. The contrast between the compost and surrounding soil makes the amendment process clear and easy to understand. Panel four shows the act of planting: a young kiwi vine with bright green leaves is gently lowered into the hole by a pair of hands, roots positioned carefully at the correct depth. The vine looks healthy and upright, communicating proper handling of the plant. Panel five demonstrates backfilling and watering, with soil partially filled around the base of the vine while a watering can pours a steady stream of water onto the soil, illustrating initial irrigation and settling of the roots. Panel six completes the process by showing the installation of a simple support structure. Wooden posts and horizontal wires form a trellis, and the newly planted vine is lightly tied to the support, indicating how to guide early growth. Each panel includes concise captions and simple icons or lines that visually connect text to action, making the entire image function as a clear, step-by-step guide for beginner gardeners. Overall, the image combines realistic photography with instructional graphics to clearly explain spacing, depth, soil preparation, planting, watering, and initial support for successfully establishing a kiwi vine.
