why did my grandma make me dig up worms before planting tomatoes?

Spent the afternoon with my grandma, who’s basically a gardening wizard. She handed me a trowel and told me to start digging for worms. At first, I thought she was joking, but nope—she swears worms are the secret to happy plants. Turns out, worms keep the soil loose and full of nutrients. We found a bunch, and she showed me how to gently mix them into the garden bed before planting tomatoes. She also taught me to water early in the morning, not at night, so the leaves don’t stay wet. I never realized how much there is to learn just by getting my hands dirty. I left with dirt under my nails and a new appreciation for her green thumb. Can’t wait to see if my tomatoes survive! #gardeningtips #familytime #learningnewthings #Gardening
