I assume you want the orthography checked:
- the pronoun "I" is always written in capitals.
- The period should be at the end of the sentence.
I planted watermelon, cucumbers and tomatoes in my garden.

Sorry Laz, pretty sure there should be a comma between watermelon and cucumbers. - LateToDinner, Sep 11, 2010
You're absolutely right! I'd swear I read "watermelon seeds" for some weird reason. Maybe I need to get my brain checked or something. - lazarus1907, Sep 11, 2010
No, don't let them look at your brain, it would only baffle them. - LateToDinner, Sep 11, 2010

In English, a comma separates all items in a list except the item followed by the conjunction at the end of the list.

The one before the conjunction is optional in most texts, but I see it normally used. - 0074b507, Sep 11, 2010
Was the law in my younger days, but the usage became discouraged when I wasn't looking, caused me all kinds of grief. - LateToDinner, Sep 11, 2010
