how did i survive 22 years without a backyard to plant tomatoes?

I still can’t believe I finally have a backyard. After years of squeezing plants onto tiny windowsills, I get to dig in real dirt! The first thing I did was plant tomatoes. I used to think you needed a green thumb, but honestly, it’s all about good soil and lots of sun. I started with cherry tomatoes because they’re super forgiving. Every morning, I check for new sprouts. Seeing those little green leaves pop up makes me so happy. Watering early in the day keeps the leaves healthy, and I learned to mulch around the base to keep the soil moist. My hands get dirty, but it’s worth it. Watching my garden grow is the best part of coming home. If you’ve got even a patch of earth, give it a try—you’ll never look at store-bought veggies the same way again. #gardening #homeownership #tomatoes #backyardlife
