When I first moved in, the backyard looked like a scene from a forgotten forest. Weeds everywhere, broken pots, and not a single flower in sight. I felt overwhelmed, but I started small—just clearing one corner at a time. Pulling weeds became my daily stress relief. I learned that patience is everything. Some days, I’d plant seeds and wonder if anything would ever grow. Three months later, the change is wild. My roses are blooming, and I even have tomatoes popping up. I found that sticking to a routine, like watering early in the morning, made a huge difference. Mulching helped keep the weeds down, and composting kitchen scraps gave my plants a real boost. Now, every time I step outside, I feel proud of what’s grown from all that effort. gardening #transformation #backyard #happiness #diy #gardening #transformation #backyard #happiness #diy
