🌞 Seasonal Planting Tips
Growing isn’t guesswork — it’s rhythm.
Every season brings opportunity. When you understand what to plant and when, even the smallest space can become productive year-round.

🌸 What to Plant in Spring
Spring is the season of possibility. As temperatures rise and sunlight stretches longer, it’s time to plant crops that thrive in mild weather. Try growing: • Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale

• Herbs like cilantro, parsley, and chives
• Root vegetables like carrots, radishes, and beets
• Early tomatoes and peppers (start indoors or in containers)

Spring is perfect for beginners because many of these plants grow quickly and give you visible progress fast. It builds confidence. You see results. You stay motivated. Pro Tip: If you only have a balcony or patio, start with herbs and greens in containers. They’re forgiving and productive.
