Starting a garden transformed my perception of gardening, as I learned to embrace a trial-and-error approach rather than fear failure. With the rising cost of groceries motivating me, I overcame my initial doubts about having a green thumb and took a gardening class, which equipped me with essential skills. I started small, creating a raised bed and nurturing various vegetables. As I became more comfortable, I found joy in growing enough produce not only for my family but also to share with neighbors, reflecting a sense of community and accomplishment in my newfound gardening journey.
"Just throw it in the ground and see what happens," was the mindset shift I needed to embrace the trial-and-error nature of gardening and learning.
Through starting my garden, I realized that it was possible for someone like me, who had killed many houseplants, to grow healthy vegetables.
