why did i let my backyard flood and end up with the happiest tomatoes ever?

Last week, I watched the rain pour down and realized my garden could use a little help soaking it all in. Instead of letting the water run off, I dug a few shallow trenches around my veggie beds. The next morning, my tomatoes looked so perky, I almost laughed out loud. Turns out, channeling rainwater right to the roots keeps the soil moist way longer. Plus, it saves me from dragging out the hose every day. I even set out a couple of buckets to catch extra rain for my thirsty herbs. Now, every time it storms, I feel like my plants and I are celebrating together. It’s wild how a little planning can turn a downpour into the best garden boost ever. #gardeningtips #rainwaterharvesting #tomatolove #Gardening
