About Me

Paulette Delgado

Paulette Delgado
I’ve always had a green thumb—my dad would joke that I could grow weeds into something useful. But there’s nothing like the quiet joy of watching a seedling push through the soil and become a thriving plant. This site is where I share the lessons I’ve learned from decades of gardening, from my first failed attempt at growing tomatoes as a kid to the lush backyard I’ve cultivated over the years.
