My number 1 tip for spring garden prep: feed the soil, not the plant. Comment BUCKWHEAT for a link to seeds. Just 1/4 pound will cover 180 sq feet, or a 10x18’ garden space. If you want incredible veggies and flowers, try a spring cover crop. I use fast-growing varieties like buckwheat as soon as danger of frost passes. In 60 days, you can trample or tarp the cover crop and use it as a nutrient rich mulch to plant your tomatoes, peppers, and summer veggies directly into. The cover crop acts as a living mulch that: ✅ Suppresses weeds (no back-breaking weeding!) ✅ Aerates soil naturally without tilling which improves root growth and water absorption ✅ Replenishes the soil with organic matter and nitrogen ✅ Creates the perfect environment for healthy roots ✅ Feeds pollinators with crucial early season nectar and pollen It takes less than 5 minutes to plant and saves me HOURS of work. When it’s time to plant my veggies, I just chop it down and leave the green matter right on top of the soil. It’s a complete game-changer! Have you ever tried this? ** there have been SO MANY questions about this that I’d like to do a special q&a live session on my subscriber account. I’ll be setting this up for Tuesday Jan 13 at 12pm est!

📍SAVE THIS POST: What You Can Direct Sow in March 🌱I had to replay this classic video for my Gardeners 💃🏽👩🏾‍🌾 Direct sowing simply means planting seeds straight into the soil where they will grow to maturity.

Don’t Throw Away Your Spring Bulbs – Plant Them for Years to Come 🌷 Many popular spring flowers like tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses are bulb plants, and most of them are perennial. That means they can come back and flower again year after year — if you treat them right 🗓️ When the blooms fade, cut off the flower head to stop the plant from putting energy into seed production.
Leave the leaves and stems intact — they feed the bulb through photosynthesis. Once the danger of frost has passed and the soil is workable, you can plant the bulbs in your garden. Choose a spot with good drainage and partial to full sun.
The foliage will eventually wither down naturally — don’t remove it too early. ☀️The following spring, you’ll be rewarded with flowers again — and some bulbs even multiply over time. This is a simple, sustainable way to expand your spring garden without spending more, and without sending healthy plants to waste ♻️ #gardening #gardeninspiration #springflowers #flowergarden #sustainability #mygarden #flowers #nowaste #gardenhacks

🌷 Thought These Were Eggs? Think Again… They’re tulip bulbs — and this simple trick makes planting effortless. Instead of measuring and guessing spacing, just place the egg cartons filled with bulbs directly into a prepared trench and cover them with soil. No measuring. No uneven gaps. No guessing. Egg cartons space the bulbs perfectly every single time, helping you create clean lines, beautiful shapes, and a stunning spring display. Sometimes the smartest garden hacks are the simplest ones. 🌷🙌 Would you try this method in your garden? #GardenHack #TulipPlanting #SpringGarden #FlowerGarden #SmartGardening
