Garden Planning on the Homestead

Spring is here, and that means it’s time to start thinking about the garden! 🌱 In this episode, the Heart of the Homestead Family shares what’s happening on their farms right now—from cleaning up last year’s garden beds to dreaming (and maybe over-dreaming 😉) with seed catalogs. The ladies chat about expanding gardens, adding flowers alongside vegetables, growing and preserving herbs, and the realities of garden planning (because what you plan… isn’t always what happens!). They also share helpful tips on crop rotation, garden planning methods, and tools like garden planning apps to stay organized through the season. Whether you’re planting your first seeds or mapping out acres, this episode will leave you inspired to dig in and grow something this spring. 🌼 In this episode: Spring garden prep and clean-up Planning vs. reality in the garden Adding flowers for beauty (and function!)
