why did my first raised garden bed actually thrive this fast?

Built my first raised garden bed and wow, I didn’t expect it to explode with veggies this quick. I started with some good soil mix—half compost, half topsoil. That made a huge difference. I also spaced out my plants more than I thought I needed, which helped them breathe and grow strong. Watering in the early morning kept everything from drying out. I threw in some marigolds for color and to keep bugs away. Watching those little seeds turn into real food feels unreal. Every day, I spot something new popping up. It’s wild how a bit of planning and patience pays off. If you’re thinking about starting, just go for it. The joy is totally worth the effort. #gardening #raisedbeds #growyourown #plantlife
