A spring garden is built in winter! Do yourself a favor and spend the next month planning your garden space. I always start with a rough draft of what my tried and true crops are - then add some new fun varieties. And don’t skip the flowers! It’s super easy to hit add all to your cart when it comes to seeds but trust me when I say it will be worth taking the extra time to plan and map out your space before purchasing seeds. January is the perfect time to start planning for your 2026 garden in zone 4. Happy planting! zone4 zone4garden midwestgarden raisedbedgarden seedstarting
