Now, let’s talk flowers! These little powerhouses aren’t just for looks—they help keep pests away and bring in all the good pollinators. Plus, calendula is one of my secret ingredients in our farm-fresh teas. It’s soothing, healing, and just plain beautiful.
Chamomile & Lavender
If you’ve ever had a cup of our garden tea, you know how much I love chamomile and lavender. These herbs bring relaxation in every sip, and starting them now means I’ll have plenty for tea blends, self-care products, and a whole lot of peaceful moments in the garden.
Caring for These Baby Plants
Starting seeds isn’t just about planting and hoping for the best—it takes a little TLC. Here’s how I keep them happy:
• The Right Soil – Good soil is everything! I use an organic, nutrient-rich mix to give them the best start.
• Plenty of Light – Seedlings need about 12-16 hours of light per day, so I keep them under grow lights to make sure they don’t get too leggy.
• Steady Watering – Moist but not soggy is the goal. Nobody likes wet feet, including plants!
• Warmth & Humidity – Some seeds need extra warmth to sprout, so I use heat mats when necessary.
Let’s Grow Together!
There’s something special about growing food—whether it’s in a backyard garden, a few pots on the porch, or a full-scale farm. Every little plant starts as a tiny seed, and with the right care, it grows into something beautiful and nourishing.
If you’re growing something this season, I’d love to hear about it! Drop a comment, send a message, or let’s chat over on Instagram. And if you’re just here to enjoy the harvest—don’t worry, I’ve got plenty coming your way soon.
Happy planting, friends!
