Last spring, I decided to try something wild: planting tomatoes right next to marigolds. People kept saying it was a good idea, but I had to see for myself. Turns out, those bright flowers kept the bugs away better than any spray I’ve used. Plus, my tomatoes grew like crazy—so much juicier than last year. Every morning, I’d grab my coffee and wander through the rows, pulling a few weeds here and there. It’s weirdly relaxing. If you’re stressed, digging in the dirt helps more than you’d think. And seeing those first red tomatoes peek out? Best feeling ever. I swear, the secret is mixing flowers and veggies. It makes the whole garden pop and keeps everything healthier. #gardeningtips #urbanjungle #growyourown #Gardening
