why did i end up knee-deep in mud just to save my grandpa’s tomatoes?

When my grandpa passed, his garden was left in my hands. I knew nothing about plants, but those tomatoes looked like they needed a friend. First thing I learned: watering is not just dumping a bucket on them. I started using a gentle spray, and the leaves perked up like they were waving at me. Weeds tried to take over, but pulling them out became weirdly satisfying. I even started talking to the plants (don’t judge). Every morning, I’d check for bugs, and picking them off felt like a tiny victory. Sun, water, and a little patience turned the garden into my favorite spot. Now, every ripe tomato feels like a high five from grandpa. #gardeninglife #plantparent #tomatolove #backyardstories #Gardening
