why did my tomatoes become the talk of the apartment block?
Last summer, I planted a few tomato seedlings in our apartment community garden. I had no clue what I was doing, but I kept the soil loose and made sure to water in the early morning. Soon, my little patch was bursting with bright red tomatoes. People started stopping by, asking what my secret was.
Turns out, chatting with neighbors about what they’re growing is the best hack. Someone shared their trick for using coffee grounds to boost the soil, and another showed me how to gently tie up the vines. I even swapped a few tomatoes for fresh basil from next door.
Now, every time I walk by, I see someone tending their own patch, and it feels like we’re all in it together. That’s the real joy of gardening here—sharing tips, stories, and a whole lot of veggies.
