This year, my backyard totally surprised me. I started with a few seeds, thinking maybe I’d get some color. But then the zinnias popped up, and suddenly I was obsessed. I learned that if you deadhead the blooms, they just keep coming. So every morning, I’d grab my coffee and snip away. The marigolds loved the sunny spot by the fence, and I realized they kept bugs off my tomatoes too. Watching everything grow made me ridiculously happy. I never thought watering early in the morning would be my favorite part of the day, but here we are. If you give your flowers a little attention and find their favorite spots, they’ll reward you with a wild show all summer long. #gardening #flowers #backyardbliss
