how did i end up growing tomatoes and questioning grocery prices?
I started with a tiny patch of dirt and a few tomato seeds, just for fun. Watching those first green shoots pop up was wild—like, how is this little plant going to turn into dinner? Turns out, growing food takes patience, water, and a lot of weeding. Every tomato I picked felt like a mini victory.
But then I’d walk into the store and see tomatoes stacked high, super cheap. It made me wonder how they do it. My hands were dirty, my back ached, and I knew exactly what went into each fruit. Now, I always check labels and appreciate the work behind every veggie. Plus, nothing beats the taste of something you grew yourself. My tip? Start small, even with just herbs. It’s worth it for the flavor and the fun.
