how did my wild backyard dream turn into a blooming paradise?

Back in 2017, my backyard was just a patch of grass and a wild idea. I remember sketching out plans, not really knowing if anything would grow. Fast forward to 2020, and stepping outside feels like entering a secret garden. I never thought planting a few seeds and bulbs would lead to this much color and life. Turns out, patience is everything. I learned to trust the process, water regularly, and not panic when things looked rough. Mulching helped keep weeds down, and I started composting kitchen scraps for richer soil. Every season brought surprises—some plants thrived, others didn’t, but that’s part of the fun. Now, butterflies and bees are regular visitors, and I get to enjoy fresh herbs right from my own yard. Watching this space transform taught me that a little effort each year really adds up. #gardeningjourney #backyardbliss #greenthumb #naturelovers #Gardening
