From Weeds to Wonder: The Beginning Of A New Garden

When I first saw my garden plot at the local community garden, it was completely taken over by weeds—like a little jungle of its own. But beneath all that chaos, I saw potential. There’s something exciting about starting with a blank canvas (even if it’s green, tangled, and slightly intimidating). After some serious weeding, digging, and sweat, I’ve finally cleared the space. It’s not perfect—but it’s mine, and it’s ready for something new. The plan is to turn this plot into a vibrant mix of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Think tomatoes, basil, marigolds, and maybe even some sunflowers if I get bold. I’ll be documenting the transformation here—from the messy “before” to what I hope will be a lush and lively “after.” There will be lots of photos, gardening wins (and likely some fails), and hopefully a little inspiration for anyone thinking of starting their own garden journey. Stay tuned—planting day is just around the corner!
