🍃🌿 SPRING GARDEN STARTERS 🪴☀️ 🐈‍⬛
I’m kicking off my spring gardening adventure by starting seeds for 3 exciting gardens! 🌟 Here’s what I’m working on:

1. 🌿 Herb Garden Bed Cart: Fresh herbs are the heart of any kitchen. I’ll be planting basil, parsley, oregano, tarragon, thyme, etc. Having fresh herbs can actually enhance the flavor while also providing health benefits, like antioxidants.

2. 🥬Vertical Garden of Lettuces: Crisp, nutritious lettuces are on the menu! By going vertical, I’m maximizing space and making it easier to tend to my greens. Lettuce is packed with vitamins and adds a delightful crunch to salads and sandwiches! I will be planting lettuces in our

3. 🌻 Sunflower Garden Beds: I can’t wait to see these beauties grow tall and bright! Beyond their cheerful appearance, sunflowers support pollinators and can even help improve soil health by attracting beneficial insects. I will be planting these in our garden beds in front of the greenhouse. 🙌🏻

As I get started, everything is nestled in the greenhouse, where I’m using high-quality soil mixed with fertilizer to boost nutrient availability, along with perlite. Using perlite on top of seed starters enhances aeration, retains moisture and prevents soil compaction which contribute to healthier seed germination and plant development. This combination creates a perfect environment for seeds to thrive! 👏🏻

I’ll be keeping a close eye on the moisture levels and patiently waiting for these plants to sprout. 🙏🏻🌼 I’m excited to share this journey with you and see how our gardens grow together. Stay tuned! 💚
