🌱 First Sprouts: Starting from Scratch in the Garden

I’ve officially dipped my toes (and fingers!) into the dirt—hello, seed-starting season! This is my very first try at gardening, and like most beginners, I’m equally thrilled, confused, and slightly obsessed with checking on my seedlings.

There’s something pretty magical about it all. The tiny pots. The promise tucked inside each seed. The hope that maybe I didn’t mess it up.

Right now, I’m starting with a few simple things. Nothing too fancy—just enough to learn the ropes and see what grows. I’m figuring it out as I go, reading a lot, and trying to pay attention. There’s a lot I don’t know yet (okay, most things), but that’s part of what makes it exciting. Every little leaf feels like a win.

This post kicks off my New Gardener Diaries—a space to document the small moments, mishaps, and milestones as I try my hand at growing things. It’s not going to be perfect, but it will be honest.

Thanks for following along! 🌱💚
