I’ve always had a green thumb—whether it was sneaking seeds from my mom’s garden as a kid or helping my dad build raised beds in our tiny backyard. There’s nothing quite like the quiet satisfaction of watching something grow from just a speck of soil.

No fancy jargon, just honest advice for anyone willing to get their hands dirty.
