I’ve finally started in on our garden for the year last weekend! A little later than I wanted but I’ll make it work. So I wanted to document the beginnings here and of course if you have any tips or tricks I’m open to listening!
Last year when I knew I wanted to try out gardening I did a lot of research on where to buy seeds, I ended up choosing High Mowing and so that is what I went with again this year. Not everything was successful my first time around but it was oh SO rewarding! This year I decided to try some of the same and some new seeds. My haul included basil, green beans, cucumber, tomato, onion, squash, zucchini, 2 varieties of potatoes, peppers, lettuce, spinach, and 4 various flowers.
My thought is in order to learn it I’ve got to keep trying it! Even though I sometimes only had one plant grow out of the several that I planted I’m going to keep trying until hopefully I get it right. And I just have FUN! Just seeing anything happen from a tiny little seed I planted and looked after was the best. I love getting outside to my garden and flowers and taking care of them each day and reaping some of the benefits. My flowers especially last year were a FAVORITE!
I also purchased some different succulents and am giving that a go. I planted one pot with a little succulent garden last summer and I’ve been keeping it alive all winter. So I decided to try more! This little tin with the lights might be my new favorite!
So far I’ve got some seeds started in some cardboard boxes I cur down to later be transplanted, other seeds will be directly sown in the garden around May/June.
I’ve also got a few succulents that I am trying to propagate, hoping they multiply and I can have even more! These little guys would make great gifts!
I’m constantly scouring Pinterest for gardening tips and tricks and browsing Instagram for swoon worthy accounts and the knowledgeable info they share too! Please share your wisdom with me or let me know any accounts you like to follow too 🙂
