is my homegrown pepper actually better than store ones or am i just obsessed?

I picked my very first pepper today and wow, it felt like a mini victory. The color wasn’t perfect and it was a little smaller than the ones I usually buy, but biting into it was next-level. There’s something about growing your own veggies that makes them taste sweeter, even if they look a bit wonky. I started with just a pot, some soil, and a lot of YouTube tutorials. Watering in the morning and giving it plenty of sun made all the difference. I learned to be patient—peppers take their time! Now, every time I see a new bud, I get this weird rush of happiness. Store-bought peppers are fine, but nothing beats the pride of eating something you grew yourself. #gardening #homegrown #peppers
