Episode Details

What’s happening in our garden right now?

In this episode of Handmade Happiness, Jessica and Thomas share an early spring garden update from the homestead, including what they planted in early April, what’s going into the ground now, and the projects they’re working on as they expand their biggest garden yet.

From cool weather crops and perennials to warm season vegetables and weed suppression strategies, this is a real-life look at what spring gardening actually looks like during a busy planting season.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Planting peas, brassicas, onions, shallots, garlic, and root crops in early spring
• Perennial crops like asparagus and strawberries returning for the season
• Planting summer squash, winter squash, corn, okra, and watermelons
• Transplanting tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants after Mother’s Day
• Expanding and establishing new in-ground garden beds
• Using weed fabric and free mulch from a local tree service to suppress weeds and grass
• Our favorite garden tools
• Gardening as a family and learning as we grow

Whether you’re planting your first garden or expanding your homestead growing space, this episode is full of encouragement, practical gardening conversation, and seasonal inspiration.
