When translating Spanish to English which elements of the sentence should you begin with? Is it best to start with with the verbs or the nouns (both the subject and objects of the sentence, as well the prepositions)?

An english sentence is form as follows: Subject,verb and the complements. example:
These trees should have been planted in January. Estos árboles debieron haberse sembrado en Enero.
En el mar la vida es más sabrosa. Life by the sea is more delightful A direct translation of the above would have been, "Life in the sea is more tasty". But it does not make sense, so I change it to,Life by the sea is more delightful.
