Never thought I’d be the person who gets excited about dirt under my nails, but here we are. My apartment balcony is now a full-on veggie jungle. It started with one tomato plant. Then I figured, why not try basil? Turns out, they’re best friends—basil keeps bugs away from tomatoes. Who knew? Watering in the morning became my thing. It’s peaceful, and the plants seem to love it. I even started chatting with them (don’t judge). Seeing the first little green pepper pop up made me do a happy dance. If you’re thinking about starting a garden, just go for it. Even a few pots can turn into something awesome. Watching everything grow is the best part of my day. #apartmentgarden #plantparent #urbangardening #growyourown #balconylife #Gardening
