can you believe i grew my first garden after a decade of chaos?

Four years ago, I moved into my own place after a wild ten-year ride. Never thought I’d be the person who gets excited about dirt and seeds, but here we are. My backyard was just a patch of weeds, but I started small—just a few tomatoes and some herbs. Watering them every morning felt like a fresh start. Watching those first sprouts push through the soil was unreal. Turns out, plants are pretty forgiving if you give them a little love and patience. I learned to mulch early to keep the weeds down and save water. Now, every flower and veggie feels like a tiny win. If you’re thinking about starting a garden, just jump in. The messier it is, the more you’ll learn. #gardening #freshstart #homegrown #healing #lifestories
