Kicking off this garden season with a long conversation about a number of garden things. Today I want to talk about my system of organizing seeds, my goals and plans for the backyard raised bed vegetable garden this season, some of the costs that I am accounting for (things I need to buy for the garden) this Spring and into the Summer, as well as resources I have used over the years to help me stay organized and on top of my gardening tasks.
I have a lot of new faces around here now – Thank you TikTok! – and thank you, all of you for joining me here on my YouTube page. I hope for you, new and hopeful vegetable gardeners, that you find some guidance and direction in these videos!
