What I'm Doing in My Garden This Week 🌱 Early Spring Garden

In this early spring garden update I’m sharing what I’m doing in my garden this week as my tomato and pepper seedlings get huge and we prepare for planting season. With a late cold snap coming I’m holding off on planting and showing how I protect plants from cold weather, manage large seedlings, and prepare garden beds with simple amendments before transplanting. In this video I cover: • How I manage large tomato and pepper seedlings before planting • Simple garden bed prep using compost, wood ash, fertilizer, and alfalfa pellets • Protecting garden plants from an early spring cold front • Rotating seedlings for sunlight and feeding with Masterblend fertilizer • Getting the garden ready for a big planting week Next week we’ll finally be planting these tomatoes and peppers out into the garden beds!
