did i really dig up my whole yard just for tomatoes and daisies?

Spent the last few months knee-deep in dirt, and wow, it paid off. My backyard went from a patchy mess to a spot bursting with color and veggies. I started by mapping out where the sun hits longest—total game plan for both flowers and tomatoes. Mixing compost into the soil made everything grow faster, and honestly, pulling weeds became my daily workout. Watching the first sprouts pop up was wild. Every time I see a new bloom or pick a ripe tomato, I remember all those sweaty afternoons. If you want a garden that actually thrives, don’t skip the prep. Good soil and sunlight are everything. Plus, you get to eat what you grow and show off those flowers. #gardening #backyardtransformation #growyourown #flowerpower
