Planning Your Spring Garden | Episode 342
Spring may still be a few months away, but now is the perfect time to start planning your garden. By preparing early, you can ensure a productive and enjoyable growing season.
Getting a head start means you’ll be ready when planting season arrives. Popular seed varieties often sell out quickly, so ordering early ensures you’ll have what you need. Planning now also allows you to spread out costs, making it easier to budget for seeds, soil, and tools.
When deciding what to grow, focus on crops your family enjoys eating. It’s also important to choose plants suited to your region’s climate and soil conditions. Consider companion planting to maximize space and help your plants thrive—tomatoes and basil, for example, are a classic pair.
Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving garden. Start by testing your soil to understand its pH and nutrient levels. From there, you can add compost, manure, or other amendments to enrich it. Mulching is another excellent way to retain moisture and control weeds.
Seed starting is a great way to jump-start your garden. Use trays, lights, and a warm space to grow your seedlings indoors. Heirloom seeds offer unique flavors and qualities, while hybrid seeds often provide better disease resistance—choose what fits your goals.
Now is also a good time to clean and sharpen your tools or replace worn-out equipment. If you’re expanding your garden, think about raised beds, container gardening, or trying new varieties. Consider setting up irrigation systems like drip lines or rain barrels to save water.
By planning ahead, you’ll be set up for success and can enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of your labor all season long.
