did i really survive 10 weeks of backyard chaos and boulders?

Ten weeks ago, I thought planting a few veggies would be a breeze. Next thing I know, I’m knee-deep in dirt, dragging rocks bigger than my dog across the yard. My arms? Sore. My patience? Tested. But seeing those tomatoes pop up made every scraped knuckle worth it. I learned to mulch early—trust me, it saves hours of weeding. Watering in the morning kept my plants happy and slugs away. And hauling those rocks? Turns out, they make the best borders for garden beds. Now, the backyard looks like a mini oasis, and I get to chill with a lemonade, surrounded by all that green. Totally worth every sweaty afternoon. #gardeninglife #backyardtransformation #diygarden #gardentips #Gardening
