why am i stuffing tulip bulbs together like they’re besties?

Every fall, I get this wild urge to turn my garden into a tulip party. I grab a bunch of bulbs and pack them in the soil super close—think eggs in a carton, no space wasted. It feels a little rebellious, but trust me, the blooms don’t mind. They actually seem to thrive on the company. When spring rolls around, my garden explodes with color. It’s like a confetti blast of petals, and I get to snip the freshest bouquets for my kitchen table. There’s something so satisfying about watching those tightly packed bulbs push up together, each one showing off. If you want a riot of flowers next year, don’t be shy—let those bulbs get cozy! gardening #tulips #springflowers #plantingtips #gardening #tulips #springflowers #plantingtips

Is your garden ready for spring planting? here's what to sow!

Spring is finally here, and if you live in a northern area, now’s the perfect time to get your garden going. April is all about planting those hardy crops and cool-season flowers that can handle the chill. So, what can you plant now? For veggies, you can start with cold-hardy crops like lettuce, spinach, kale, onions, carrots, and radishes. If you’ve got peas or fava beans, now’s the time! 🌱 As for herbs, it’s a great time to start parsley, thyme, and mint (just watch out for mint—control that spread!). You can also start basil indoors, but wait until May to plant it outside. 🌿 For flowers, think about sowing snapdragons, pansies, daisies, and marigolds. If you’ve got perennials like irises or hostas, now’s a great time to divide and replant them. 🌸 Who’s ready to dig in the dirt?
