Spring Garden Success

There’s just something so satisfying about getting my hands in the dirt, dropping a little seed in, and then watching it turn into food that ends up on my plate. Walking outside to grab a sun-warmed tomato or some fresh okra for dinner—honestly, nothing beats it. The flavors pop, the food feels healthier, and there’s this fun little bragging right when you can say, “Yep, I grew this.” It makes me feel like superwoman! Plus—it’s hands down one of the best stress relievers I’ve ever found. :)

This spring, the garden was designed using regenerative farming practices. Instead of stripping the soil like conventional farming often does, regenerative methods actually build it back up. It’s all about healthy soil, crop diversity, cover crops, composting, and keeping tilling to a minimum. The cool part? When the soil thrives, so do the plants—bigger, stronger, and more abundant. It worked!!

Here are a few snapshots from this season—from the grow house to the greenhouse to the garden to the table!

And side note: starting flowers from seed has become one of my favorite new hobbies. It’s super rewarding and way cheaper than buying them already grown.

Up next....fall garden (carrots, collard greens, brussels, cabbage, spinach, lettuce, beets, broccoli). Can't wait to see what happens!
