It’s springtime!!! Guess what that means? Time to a. start gearing up for your spring planting and b. get your early spring plants or seeds in the ground! Some of you may be thinking it is still early or way to cold. Some plants prefer the chilliness over being too hot. Peas for example are a great early spring plant because they do not like the heat.

Not sure what you should be planting or when? Wanna know my secret? Clyde’s Garden Planner-Vegetable Planting Sliding Chart. This thing is so great when starting your garden. It is super easy to use, you just slide it to your last estimated frost date, and it tells you when and what you should plant! The best part, it’s only $7 on amazon 😉 You can thank me later!

So, I know what some of you are thinking. I don’t have space for a garden, that’s okay! You don’t need a ton of space for a garden, of course if you do and you choose to that’s great too. I use mostly containers for my garden. You can utilize that method too. You can use any kind of pot or large container of your choice. They also make these great things called grow bags, which you can also get off amazon or a local hardware store. That way if you live in the city and only have a balcony, you can have a garden too.

You may also be thinking, I do not even know where to get started, that’s okay too. My goal is help you through your first year! I am here to help and will always takes questions if you drop them in the comments!

Your nutrition is so important to your well-being, and let’s be honest, our food system in the U.S. is awful and I think it all started back in the 50s when we discovered convenience and let go of nutrition. Growing your own garden is a great way to know where your food comes from, and I am going to show you how to preserve it and love doing it in the process. I think Covid brought us one good thing, the awareness we needed to see how the food system works and how it can all collapse quickly. We rely heavily on important and transports and when that was all limited so was our food products. We will walk more about this later on though.

So, get ready to jump into this with me and learn how to provide a fresh and healthy diet for yourself and your family!
