did my grandpa’s handmade planter totally change my green thumb?
When I moved into my first house, my grandpa surprised me with a wooden planter he built himself. It wasn’t fancy, but it was sturdy and full of love. I filled it with soil, tucked in some basil and cherry tomatoes, and waited. Every morning, I’d check on those little sprouts, remembering how grandpa said, “Just water them when the soil feels dry.”
Turns out, that simple tip kept my plants happy. I learned to pinch off dead leaves and give them a bit of sun, just like he showed me. The first time I picked a ripe tomato, I felt like a pro. Gardening isn’t about perfection—it’s about patience, small wins, and a little help from family.
