why did my grandma’s old terracotta planter make me obsessed with growing salad greens?

When my grandma handed me her chunky terracotta planter, I could almost smell the strawberries she used to grow. But this year, I wanted to try something different. I filled it with rich soil and tossed in a mix of lettuce seeds. Watching those tiny leaves pop up felt like magic. The planter keeps the soil cool and moist, which is perfect for greens. Plus, it’s heavy enough that the wind doesn’t knock it over. I’ve been snipping fresh leaves for sandwiches all week. It’s wild how a simple hand-me-down can turn into a mini salad bar on my porch. If you’ve got an old planter, don’t sleep on leafy greens—they’re easy, fast, and super satisfying to grow. gardening #planttips #terracottaplanter #growyourown #saladgreens #gardening #planttips #terracottaplanter #growyourown #saladgreens
