Not every stage looks impressive while it’s happening. Some days it’s just trays, roots, dirt, and staying consistent even when progress feels invisible. This season is a reminder that what’s happening under the surface matters just as much as what we can see above it.

Not every seed sprouts.Not every tray looks perfect.We plant again anyway.

Garden season 2026 is officially underway over here. In this video I’m sharing my seed haul for the season, what I’ve already direct sown in January, and what I’ve started indoors from seed so far.
