how did i turn my grandma’s wild backyard into a veggie paradise?

When I first saw the garden I inherited, it was a jungle. Weeds everywhere, mystery plants popping up, and not a single veggie in sight. I started small—just cleared a patch and planted tomatoes. Watering in the early morning became my thing, and I swear the plants looked happier. I learned to mulch after my cucumbers dried out one hot week. Now, I toss kitchen scraps into a compost pile, and my soil is loving it. Watching those first green shoots push through made me feel like a total plant parent. Every weekend, I find something new growing, and it’s wild how much joy a handful of fresh basil can bring. #gardening #homegrown #plantparent
