People always ask if I secretly swapped my backyard for a farm. But nope, it’s just me, a few packets of seeds, and a little patience. I started by tossing some compost into the soil, not really expecting much. Fast forward a few weeks, and suddenly, tomatoes are climbing the fence and zucchinis are taking over the path. I water early in the morning, which keeps the leaves happy and avoids the midday sun. The trick? Mulch everywhere. It keeps the weeds down and the soil cool. I even talk to my plants sometimes—maybe that’s why they’re thriving. Now, every time I step outside, I get a snack and a smile. Who knew a little dirt could bring so much joy? gardening #backyardveggies #growyourown #urbanjungle #gardening #backyardveggies #growyourown #urbanjungle
