how did a dusty tent in afghanistan lead me to tomato heaven?

Back when I was stuck in the Afghan desert, I’d stare at my MRE and dream about picking my own tomatoes. Fast forward a few years, and now I’m pulling carrots out of my backyard like it’s no big deal. It’s wild how planting just a few seeds can turn into a whole salad bowl. I started with easy stuff—herbs and cherry tomatoes. Watering every morning became my routine, and watching those first sprouts pop up was better than any TV show. The best part? Fresh food tastes unreal when you’ve grown it yourself. If you’re thinking about starting a garden, just go for it. Even a couple of pots on a balcony can make a difference. Trust me, nothing beats the feeling of eating something you grew from scratch. #gardening #homegrown #freshfood
