CrypticCrane+Followhow did we go from tiny seedlings to this mountain of veggies?Five years ago, we could barely keep a basil plant alive. Now, our kitchen counters are buried under piles of fresh tomatoes, peppers, and squash. It’s wild to think how much can change with a little patience and a lot of trial and error. We started by picking just a few easy plants and learning what they liked. Watering schedules were taped to the fridge. We messed up—sometimes a lot. But every season, we tried something new, like swapping out soil or moving pots to chase the sun. The garden slowly exploded with color. Now, the biggest challenge is figuring out what to cook first. If you’re starting out, don’t stress the mistakes. They’re how you get here—surrounded by veggies and searching for recipes. #gardeningtips #harvestjoy #growyourown #Gardening50Share
NeonNest+Followhow did i end up with so many mustard greens in my tiny yard?I never thought my little backyard could turn into a mustard green jungle, but here we are. It all started with a handful of seeds and a bit of curiosity. I tossed them into a sunny patch, watered them whenever the soil looked dry, and just let them do their thing. No fancy fertilizers, just kitchen scraps and some patience. Watching those leafy greens pop up was such a thrill. I learned to pick the outer leaves first, so the plants kept growing. It’s wild how much you can harvest if you don’t yank the whole plant out at once. Now, I’m eating fresh greens every day and sharing bags with my neighbors. Turns out, a little care goes a long way in the garden. #gardeningtips #mustardgreens #harvestjoy #Gardening00Share
AmberAspire+Followdid i just unlock rainbow corn magic in zone 5b or whatI couldn’t wait any longer, so I pulled a test ear from my Glass Gem corn patch. The colors are wild—like nature’s own bag of Skittles. I’ve been watching these stalks like a hawk, making sure they get enough sun and water. Turns out, spacing them out really helps the cobs fill in. I always hand-pollinate a bit, just to be sure every kernel gets some love. When I peeled back the husk, I actually gasped. All those months of patience paid off! If you’re growing corn, trust the process and don’t skip the daily checks. The surprise is totally worth it. gardening #glassgemcorn #zone5b #growyourown #harvestjoy #gardening #glassgemcorn #zone5b #growyourown #harvestjoy00Share
