Two months ago, my backyard was just a sad patch of dirt. I kept picturing flowers everywhere, but it felt impossible. I started by digging deep and mixing in compost—seriously, don’t skip this step. It made all the difference. I picked hardy plants that could handle my unpredictable watering schedule and spaced them out more than I thought I should. Every week, I snapped progress pics. By April, tiny green shoots popped up, and now it’s a full-on flower party. The secret? Patience and mulch. Mulch kept the weeds away and the soil moist, so I didn’t have to stress. Watching those first blooms open made every muddy shoe worth it. If you’re dreaming of a flowerbed, start small and let nature surprise you. gardening #flowers #backyardtransformation #springvibes #gardening #flowers #backyardtransformation #springvibes
