did we really think tomatoes would just grow themselves last year?

Last spring, I thought gardening was just about sticking seeds in dirt and waiting for magic. Spoiler: it’s not. My tomatoes looked so sad, barely any fruit, and the leaves were all weird. Turns out, they needed way more sun and water than I guessed. Also, spacing matters—cramming them together was a rookie move. This year, I gave them room to breathe and actually paid attention to watering. The difference? Wild. My little garden is popping off, and picking fresh tomatoes feels like winning a prize. If you’re starting out, don’t be afraid to mess up. Every mistake is just a lesson for juicier veggies next time. #gardeningtips #beginnergardener #growyourown #tomatoes #springvibes #Gardening
