I’ve always had a green thumb—my dad taught me how to grow tomatoes when I was just a kid, and I’ve been hooked ever since. There’s something so satisfying about watching a seed turn into a thriving plant, and I love sharing that joy with others. On *Lawn Edge*, I aim to make gardening approachable, whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting with a windowsill herb garden. My approach? No jargon, just practical tips and real stories from my own backyard.
