Kelli Wyatt+Followhow did planting one orange tree turn into a habit?It started with a single orange tree in a pot. I had no clue what I was doing—just water, sun, and fingers crossed. But watching those first leaves push through lit a spark I didn’t expect. Now? I’ve got flowers, herbs, fruit trees, and a daily routine that begins with coffee and garden check-ins. It’s not just about growing things—it’s about slowing down. About touching the earth with your own hands. I started sharing little moments from my garden online, and the community that’s grown around it makes it even sweeter. If you’ve ever thought about planting something—do it. Even one pot on a windowsill can change the way your day feels. #gardening life #grow from home #fruit and flowers #green thumb journey #daily dirt joy30Share
Laura Bennett+Followwhy did i cry over tiny green sprouts in my laundry room?I wasn’t expecting much when I dropped those tomato seeds into some old trays by the washing machine. It still felt like winter, and I was tired. But this morning? Boom. Little green heads popped up like they’d been planning it for weeks. I swear, nothing lifts my mood faster than that first germination. It’s like the garden whispers, “We’ve got this.” I’ve been tossing lettuce and radish seeds into every bare patch of soil, too—May is messy, but it’s magic. The ducks think the compost pile is their personal buffet, which is chaotic, but kind of perfect. Watching life return, slowly and quietly, makes the whole year feel possible again. #gardeninglife #springvibes #seedstarting #backyardgarden #grow your own00Share
