I'm a first-time homeowner and this spring, I put together a plant bed in my backyard where I planted some veggies. I find myself checking on them all the time—morning, afternoon, night, and even in-between! While I love watching them grow, I'm starting to feel like I'm obsessing over them. What can I do to ease my mind about this?

You might want to create another plant bed! Seriously, expanding your garden could help take your mind off just one bed. Plus, more plants mean more fun, right?
Honestly, I totally get it! I've been gardening for over twenty years now, and the best part of my day is my garden walks. I’ve found fellow plant lovers to share the experience with, which makes it feel less obsessive and more about community. Maybe join a local gardening group?
It sounds like you’re well on your way to becoming a true gardener! As long as checking on your plants feels relaxing and doesn’t bring you anxiety, I’d say it’s totally fine. Just keep in mind to check in with your own feelings, too!
Absolutely! Gardening should be fun and fulfilling, not stressful.
Yep, that's definitely the way to go!
