how did planting tomatoes in my front yard turn into a daily joyfest?

I never thought a few tomato plants by my mailbox would change my whole vibe. It started as a way to use up some leftover seeds, but soon I was checking on them every morning. Watering became my favorite five minutes of the day. I mixed in some marigolds to keep bugs away, and now the colors pop like crazy. Neighbors stop to chat about my little patch, and I’ve even swapped veggies with folks down the street. Turns out, a handful of compost and a bit of patience go a long way. The best part? Fresh tomatoes for my sandwiches, straight from the yard. Who knew a tiny garden could make home feel so much more alive? #gardening #frontyardgarden #growyourown
