how did i turn a tiny philly backyard into a veggie paradise?

You’d never guess my little patch of green is tucked between brick walls and city noise. When I moved to Philly, I thought I’d have to give up fresh tomatoes and basil. Turns out, all you need is a few big pots and some sunlight. I started with cherry tomatoes and mint—super forgiving, even if you forget to water sometimes. Every morning, I check on my plants with coffee in hand. It’s wild how much joy a handful of homegrown strawberries can bring. My tip? Use vertical space. Hanging baskets and stacked planters are total space-savers. Even in the city, you can grow more than you think. Now, my friends come over just to pick herbs for dinner. Who knew city living could taste this fresh? #UrbanGardening #PhillyLife #Homegrown #CityGarden #Gardening
