Three years into gardening, I’ve embraced both joy and challenges. While Southern gardeners flaunt winter blooms, I stare at frozen soil here in the Midwest, dreaming of spring. Summer brings 90°F heatwaves—cue frantic shade nets and plant umbrellas! Yet, I’m hooked: watering, pruning, adjusting layouts, and learning from every wilted leaf. Each season teaches resilience. Whether you’re a newbie or a pro, share your plant wins (or fails!) below! Let’s swap tips and keep our green friends thriving. 🌿 #gardeningjourney #plantlovers #growtogether #urbangardening #smallbutmighty
