I never thought a small patch of dirt could make me this happy. Last spring, I tossed in some compost, mixed in a bit of mulch, and planted a handful of seeds. I figured I’d get a few tomatoes if I was lucky. But now, it’s like my veggies are having a growth contest! Turns out, spacing the plants just right and watering early in the morning really made a difference. I also learned to pick off the lower leaves to keep things tidy and healthy. Every time I walk out and see new peppers or basil popping up, it feels like a tiny win. Gardening isn’t just about food—it’s about the little surprises that show up every day. #gardeningtips #backyardgarden #growyourown #Gardening
