The Homeowner's Spring Garden

Happy Spring!

Did you know that gardening can be therapeutic? It can help reduce stress, improve physical and mental health, increase exercise, and a chance to connect with nature all while growing your own food.  

One of my favorite things about being a homeowner is working in my backyard doing seasonal gardening. Here are some tips for gardening and if you haven’t yet started a vegetable or fruit garden, I highly recommend that you do!

 

🌱 Get Your Spring Garden Ready for a Bountiful Harvest! 🌿

Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to prepare your garden for a season of fresh, homegrown veggies! Below are some of my favorite vegetables to harvest. Follow these quick easy steps to set yourself up for success:

 

1. Clean & Prep Your Soil

Remove weeds and old plants to prevent pests.
Turn the soil and mix in compost for nutrients.

 

2. Plan |Your Garden Layout

Tall plants like corn should be placed where they won’t shade others.
Companion planting: Cucumbers grow well with radishes, and mint helps deter pests.

 

3. Best Vegetables to Plant Now

Corn 🌽 – Needs full sun and plenty of space.
Cucumbers 🥒 – Thrives with regular watering.
Hot Peppers 🌶️ – Loves warm soil and good drainage.
Greens 🥬 – Cabbage, collard greens, and mustard greens grow well in cooler temps.
Cilantro & Mint 🌿 – Great herbs for cooking; mint can spread, so plant it in a pot.
Radishes 🔴 – Quick-growing and perfect for early spring.

 

4. Mulch & Water Wisely

Add mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
Water consistently, especially for cucumbers and peppers.

 

5. Protect & Maintain

Use row covers for pest control.
Harvest greens often for continuous growth.

 

 

 

🌿 Bonus Tip: Make Your Own Fertilizer from Kitchen Scraps!

Want to boost your soil naturally? Save banana peels, eggshells, and coffee grounds! Chop banana peels and bury them near your plants for a potassium boost, crush eggshells for added calcium, and mix coffee grounds into the soil for nitrogen. Your garden will love the extra nutrients! 🌎♻️

With these simple steps, you'll enjoy a thriving spring garden full of delicious vegetables and herbs. Happy planting! 🌱🌞
