Soil is key to Garden Health When Planning your

Evaluate Your Garden Space!! After setting your

Evaluate Your Garden Space!!

After setting your garden goals, the next step in planning your garden is to evaluate your garden space. If you’ve planted a garden before, ask yourself these questions:

Do I want to plant in the same space as last year?

Do I want to add space or add more raised beds?

Do I need to reduce the space because it was too much to handle last year?

Or do I want to change how I grow, like planting more in containers or raised beds?

Whether you change anything or not, settling these questions is important and not to be overlooked.

If you are starting a new garden start by sun mapping your yard to find a location that gets full sun, then think about how you will get water to that location. Carrying gallons of water each day isn't fun.

And to keep the garden at the forfront of your mind make sure you can see it from a window in your home that you look out everyday.

Once you have evaluated your space you are ready to start building your garden.

What are your Garden Goals? Are you just supplem

What are your Garden Goals?

Are you just supplementing regular grocery needs? Are you wanting to be as self-sufficient for veggies as possible? Are you wanting to share your bounty with friends and neighbors?
-
These are the very first questions to consider when coming up with your garden plan because your answers will determine other factors.
-
Don't jump on the first thing that comes to mind. Think about what you want to accomplish in your garden.
-
Then write them down. And tell me your goals in the comments below so we can hold each other accountable.

It's Garden Planning Season!! Have you started yet?

I planned our cutting garden this week and filmed it so you could follow along.

You can find it on our YouTube Channel (link in bio).

I remember our first garden let's just say we had no plan and just planted things everywhere. Let's just say that garden was a hot mess!! I have learned my lesson and now plan out our gardens ahead of time to give us an idea of what we need to do.

Back from road trip to one of my favorite places. It was a short trip but it fueled my fire to work harder towards our dreams.

Often the everyday gets in the way but always remember if you are committed there is a way!

What is a dream or goal you are looking to accomplish?

I am missing the green of the summer garden but I have to say the winter, snowy garden is beautiful. 🥰

In between chasing the kids in the snow and making hot cocoa I have been planning the garden. Lots of flowers and veggies will be filling these snowy beds before you know it!!

Have you planned your garden yet? What are you planting?

Board games are a great way to spend quality time with your kids and reinforce academic skills. What board games do you remember playing as a kid? What board games do your kiddos enjoy?

Our cast iron skillets got a lot of use this holiday.

What’s the secret to cleaning them?

Clean them while the skillet is still hot/warm. And don’t use soap!!

This year our tree isn’t as big as we normally get but we are thankful that we were able to find one.

Because it isn’t that big we opted to only put homemade ornaments on the tree.
