Growing potatoes in pails is by far my favorite way! Make sure you are buying food grade pails. #containergardening #garden

A successful garden doesn’t happen by accident.
I plan and strategize every inch before planting—and that prep is what makes all the difference. 🌱

Join me this winter to plan for next seasons harvest.

Happy planning!

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!

If your garden feels tired and your new crops are struggling, it’s probably not you — it’s your soil.

🥦➡️🌾 Brassicas are heavy feeders, so follow them up with cover crops or nitrogen-fixers like peas, clover, or beans. Your soil will thank you next season! ✨

I’ve loved watching this space change with every season — proof that a garden really is a living thing. 🌿

Growing in raised beds (like these cedar ones from @eartheasy ) makes gardening easier in so many ways — better drainage, warmer soil in spring, fewer weeds, and less bending to plant or harvest.

It’s a setup that looks good and works hard, no matter the season. 🌸

Free mulch alert! 🍁 Instead of raking and dumping, try this trick to protect your soil all winter long 🌱

The secret to the sweetest carrots? A few frosty mornings. 🥕❄️ When the temps drop, carrots turn their starches into sugar — kind of like nature’s way of adding a little sweetness before winter settles in.

Time to spray fruit trees. I use both products twice a year - fall & spring. Once the leaves have fallen in fall and before the bubs open in the spring

#LTKSeasonal

I’ll be honest — it’s been awhile since I’ve spent time in the garden. This time of year is always hard for me. Watching all the green slowly turn to brown feels like saying goodbye to a friend.

I tend to avoid this space during the fall because I never feel quite ready to let it go. And this year hit especially hard — that unexpected frost wiped out all my fall crops overnight.

So this season, I’m giving myself permission to be a lazy gardener. I’ve worked hard here all summer, and it’s okay to rest now — just like the garden does.

Anyone else struggle with this transition from growing season to letting go?

It’s garlic season! 🧄

Prepping this raised bed for garlic planting, an in depth video of how I plant garlic coming soon!

It’s not too late to order some or grab from your local nursery

🌿 Quick Rule of Thumb
• Hardneck = better flavor, easier peeling, larger cloves but shorter storage. Better for colder climates. I’m planting music and red chestnut this year, both hard neck garlic
• Softneck = milder flavor, more cloves but smaller, longer storage, good for braiding. Better for mild climates.

Fertilizers I used are linked in my bio. Blood meal from @true_organic_ & mineralyte from @redmondagriculture Agriculture

Are you planting garlic this fall season?

Happy planting!
#garlic #plantinggarlic #raisedbedgarden #midwestgarden

🧄🌱 Garlic is one of the easiest (and most rewarding) crops to grow! In Zone 4, fall is the perfect time to plant!

👉 Planting tips:
• Break bulbs into individual cloves
• Plant pointy side up, 2–3 inches deep
• Space 4–6 inches apart
• Cover with mulch for winter protection

Tuck them in now and you’ll be harvesting big, beautiful bulbs by mid-summer!

Happy planting!

Harvesting the last of my cucumbers for the season - bittersweet.

Cucumbers + trellises are a match made in the garden 💚 I love walking under the trellis and seeing cucumbers hanging.

Here is why I grow vertically - harvesting is so much easier! It saves me precious bed space and keeps the plants healthier. Have you tried growing cucumbers this way?

A greenhouse wrapped in hydrangeas? Yes please! 🩷

#midwestgarden #hydrangea #hedge #hydrangeahedge

End of season cleanup? Nope — I’m letting my plants do the work 😉 Dead plants = free mulch, happy soil, and way less work come spring! Skip plants that had disease or major pest issues.

Pro tip - break up this foliage into small pieces with a shovel so it breaks down quicker. I’ll be adding a good layer of leaves once all my crops are done for the fall.
