My backyard used to be a patch of sad, stubborn dirt. I always thought plants hated me. But one day, I just grabbed a few packets of seeds and gave it a shot. Turns out, watering in the early morning actually matters. I started with lettuce and cherry tomatoes because they’re super forgiving. Watching those first green sprouts pop up was wild. I never knew how satisfying it’d be to pick my own veggies for lunch. I learned fast that mulch keeps weeds away and helps the soil stay moist. Now, my little garden is my favorite spot to chill. I even talk to my plants—no shame. If you’re on the fence, just start small. You might surprise yourself. #gardeningtips #growyourown #backyardgarden #urbanfarming #Gardening
