Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you’d like. Let’s all help each other grow something beautiful together!

If folks are into it, I’d like to make this a weekly thread for everyone to share updates and assistance as the year progresses. Please let me know if that’s something you’d all like.

    Thanks for starting this trend! I hope we can keep it up. It’s fun getting to know our garden community here better 😸

    I’m trying my best to make my gardens explode with color and opportunities for local bugs and whatnot to enjoy. I’m also giving a go at planting large batches of companion and complimentary plants to keep the baddies at bay and promote best outcomes. First time planting nasturtiums in the mix and I’m very into how gigantic they’ve become!

    My other big project is placing various plants along one fence line to create a living fence that should block the view into the backyard and provide a bit of a sound barrier. After visiting the International Flower and Garden festival at EPCOT recently, I fell in love with their use of Heuchera ‘Southern Comfort’ and I can’t wait to add some to my design.
