I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet magic of watching things grow—whether it’s a stubborn seedling breaking through the soil or a well-tended garden bursting with color. My childhood summers were spent sneaking extra time in my grandpa’s backyard, where he’d let me dig in his vegetable patch (as long as I didn’t pull up the tomatoes before they were ready).
