A few months back, I traded spreadsheets for soil and haven’t looked back. My days now start with dirt under my nails and end with baskets full of peppers. Growing food for a restaurant means every plant gets extra love, and I’ve learned that peppers thrive when you pick them often—seriously, the more you harvest, the more they grow. I keep the soil loose and feed it with compost from kitchen scraps. It’s wild how much flavor comes from a little patience and daily watering. Seeing chefs light up over fresh produce is the best reward. If you’re thinking about growing your own food, start small and celebrate every little sprout. It’s all about enjoying the process, not just the harvest. #gardeninglife #urbanfarming #peppers #Gardening
