Planning your garden (before seed starting sneaks up on you)


Hi Garden Friend,

If you're thinking about this year’s garden (or feeling like seed starting season is approaching fast), now is a great time to slow down just enough to plan ahead.

I wanted to share two resources that work really well together if you’re hoping for a smoother, less chaotic growing season.

1. The New and Updated LGS Garden Planner & Journal

This is a 92-page printable planner I created because I was tired of scattered notes, half-filled notebooks, and trying to remember what I planted where last year.

Inside, you’ll find space to:

  • Map out your garden beds or containers
  • Plan planting dates and track what you start indoors
  • Keep notes on what works, what doesn’t, and what you want to try again
  • Stay on top of weekly tasks without overthinking it

It’s flexible, simple to use, and meant to grow with you season after season.

On sale through the end of January for Newsletter subscribers only :)

2. 10 Seed Starting Tips

If seed starting has ever felt overwhelming or hit-or-miss, I put together a post that walks through the basics without overcomplicating things.

In this guide, I cover:

  • How to choose the right seeds and soil
  • Why drainage matters more than most people realize
  • How to water seedlings without drowning them
  • Lighting tips to avoid leggy plants
  • What “hardening off” really means (and why it’s important)

These are the same things I rely on each year to grow strong, healthy seedlings at home.

LEARN HOW TO GROW HEALTHY SEEDLINGS

Easy beginner tips to help you grow more of your own food.

Why these go hand-in-hand

Planning and seed starting don’t have to feel like separate projects. When you track what you’re planting and follow a few solid seed-starting basics, the whole season tends to feel more manageable — and a lot more enjoyable.

If you’re easing into garden mode right now, I hope these help.

Happy Gardening!!!
